Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced the cancellation of a $100 million contract with Starlink, a company founded by Elon Musk, as a retaliation against U.S. tariffs imposed by President Trump. Ford's decision to halt business with American companies reflects a broader strategy to protect Ontario's economy, emphasizing that U.S.-based businesses would suffer heavy financial losses. This move aligns with Canada’s response to recent trade tensions, which includes removing American liquor brands from provincial sales, demonstrating the province’s readiness to counteract perceived economic threats from the U.S.
"We'll be ripping up the province's contract with Starlink. Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy," Ford said in a post on X.
"They only have President Trump to blame," he said, emphasizing the financial repercussions for U.S. firms due to Ontario's response.
