Ontario's Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford announced the cancellation of a $100 million contract with Elon Musk's Starlink, intended for high-speed internet access for rural communities. This decision comes amid increasing U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, leading Ford to state Ontario will refrain from working with American companies until the tariffs are lifted. Ford's actions reflect his stance against what he sees as economic harm. The contract faced criticism from opposition leaders, who argue Ford should have acted earlier to protect Ontario's economy.
Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy. This stance reflects the government's commitment to protect local interests amid rising U.S. tariffs.
The contract with Starlink was intended to provide high-speed internet to 15,000 homes and businesses in Ontario's rural and remote areas by June.
