‘Not going back’: Ford will cancel Starlink-Ontario deal even if tariffs are lifted - Lemmy.World

Summary Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province will permanently cancel its $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink, even if U.S. tariffs are lifted. The decision follows Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, which prompted Ontario to ban U.S. firms from contracts. Ford cited Musk’s ties to Trump as a factor and said he is willing to fight potential legal fallout. Musk previously responded to cancellation threats with a dismissive “Oh well.”
