Ontario rebuffs Musk deal in response to Trump tariffs
Briefly

Ontario's provincial government, led by Premier Doug Ford, announced its decision to terminate a contract with Elon Musk's Starlink over President Trump's tariffs. This move comes just months after a deal to provide satellite internet to 15,000 underserved homes was signed as part of a $4 billion initiative. Ford emphasized the importance of economic independence, suggesting alternative provider Xplore could take over the project. The decision reflects the province's commitment to maintaining economic integrity amid international trade tensions.
"We'll be ripping up our contract with Elon Musk's Starlink. Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy."
