Canadians are known for politeness, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t fighters. After Trump levied a 25% tariff on our ally, they are not fucking around. Not only are they targeting red states, but the unelected shadow President Leon Musk is in their crosshairs, too. Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland says Ottawa should target Tesla vehicles with a 100% tariff.
And now, Ontario Premier Doug Ford is announcing that the province will rip up its $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink ahead of Donald’s incoming 25 percent tariffs.
CP24 reports:
Ford’s office made the announcement Monday and said the government is also banning other American companies from provincial contracts until the tariffs are reversed.
“Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy,” Ford said in a statement, referring to the Starlink deal, which was inked in November and was set to bring internet access to thousands of homes in remote and rural communities across the province.
Musk owns Starlink through his tech company, SpaceX, and heads Trump’s newly-minted Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
