Update, February 3, 5:30 pm ET: Following the news that Prime Minister Trudeau and President Trump have agreed to pause their tariff opposition for thirty days, Ontario Ford Prime Minister has announced to X that it similarly stops the cancellation of the province of his Starlink contract:
"With US tariff pauses, Ontario will also pause our revenge measures. If President Trump is going to tariffs, we will not hesitate to remove US products from LCBO shelves or ban US companies from provincial orders."
Ford added that the US and Canada "We must remain united and focus on the true trade war we are fighting with China."
The original story that was entitled "Ontario cancels Starlink’s $ 100 million agreement in response to these rates," Following is irregular.
Doug Ford, Ontario’s Prime Minister and a former supporter of President Trump, has announced that the Canadian territory will « tear » a $ 100 million contract with Elon Musk Starlink. The contract was signed in November last year and appointed Starlink to provide an internet service to remote parts of the province.
This happens after Trump has announced a 25 percent tariff for almost all Canadian imported goods. This prompted Canada to announce its own 25 percent tariff for US imported goods. We seem to go to a trade war for, uh, reasons? Trump says it is a fentanyl, although less than one percent of the drug arrives in this country on Canadian routes.

So where do Musk and Stars enter? The richest person in the world is Trump’s close confidant and now has control over the so-called. The Ministry of Government Government or Dog, a group in the administration loaded by reducing costs and deregulation. Musk, who is not chosen and is essentially a person, has access to the federal payment system and some of the levers of the US Department of Finance.
In Ford’s eyes, this is enough to connect Musk with Trump’s rates. He said Ontario « will not do business with people who adbent to destroy our economy" And that Musk wants to « remove the food from the table » of the hardworking Canadians. The prime minister said the contract would remain null and void until « US tariffs were removed. » Ontario also prohibits all US companies from provincial contracts, which will make local businesses « lose tens of billions of dollars new revenue. »
Ford also commanded the Ontario alcohol control (LCBO) to remove American ghosts from store shelves. He joins several other prime ministers across the country in this effort.
« Each year, LCBO sells nearly $ 1 billion in American wine, beer, spirits and selzi. No anymore," he said in a statement. Ontario has a population of over 16 million people and includes cities such as Toronto and Niagara Falls. Musk responded to Ford’s decision by posting « Oh, » of X.
