Ontario has decided to cancel a significant $100 million contract with Starlink due to recent tariffs imposed by former President Donald Trump on Canadian imports. Premier Doug Ford expressed strong disapproval of the measures, indicating that Ontario would also ban American companies from securing provincial contracts until these tariffs are rescinded. Designating Starlink and its parent company, SpaceX, as targets for this action aligns with ongoing sentiments against large US corporations potentially harming Canada's economy.
"We'll be ripping up the province's contract with Starlink," Ford wrote, "Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy."
In addition to broader tariffs that have been announced for US goods, Canadian Prime Minister candidate Chrystia Freeland said last week that Canada should issue 'very targeted,' 100-percent tariffs on certain US goods, specifically including Tesla.
