Ontario cancels $100 million Starlink contract in protest at U.S. tariffs | TechCrunch
Briefly

Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario, announced the termination of a $100 million contract with Elon Musk's Starlink service, attributing this to ongoing political tensions and tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. Ford criticized Musk's alignment with President Trump and expressed that U.S.-based companies would be barred from future provincial contracts until tariffs are lifted. This decision aligns with Ford's stance on protecting Ontario's economy amidst rising trade conflicts between Canada and the U.S.
"Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy," Ford posted on X on Monday.
"U.S.-based businesses will not lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame."
