Ontario rips up $100M Starlink contract ahead of U.S. tariffs - Lemmy.ca

> Ford’s office made the announcement Monday and said the government is also banning other American companies from provincial contracts going forward 🤭🤭🤭🤭

I peeked into conservative subs, and people are cheering “owning” Canada for not treating us fairly.

…WTF? I’ve never heard this?

Other than family with some Canadian ties, the only real sentiment I’ve heard before this was is that Canadians are overly polite. The fentanyl thing seems… what?

Uh oh, Canada: Trump declares trade war on America's "best friend"

"I don't think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, 'We should really go after Canada.'"

An argument I’ve seen is that the Canadian druglords are just that much better at getting drugs through the porous Canadian border without getting caught. Yeah I know it’s ridiculous but it’s so hard to fight this antilogic particularly with government data disappearing as we speak…
That doesn’t make sense and isn’t even how borders work. Most countries are not concerned with what leaves but what comes in, because their laws stop at the border. The states certainly doesn’t care about all the guns leaving their country for Canada and Mexico.
When entering the US, it’s the US border guards who are doing the checks. Perhaps they should improve their own border security.
