News Summary

Ontario has announced the cancellation of its $100 million contract with SpaceX’s Starlink, led by Elon Musk, in response to new U.S. tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The contract, signed in November, was intended to provide high-speed satellite internet to remote areas in Ontario. Premier Doug Ford stated that the province will cease doing business with American companies as a protest against the tariffs, which he claims threaten the economy. This move is part of broader retaliatory measures by Canada, including federal tariffs on U.S. goods. The decision reflects escalating trade tensions between Canada and the U.S., with Canadian leaders emphasizing their readiness to counter U.S. actions.
