Canadian Premier cancels $100,000,000 contract with Elon Musk in retaliation for Trump tariffs

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has pulled the plug on a massive $100 million deal with Elon Musk’s Starlink in response to the U.S. President’s tariffs.

According to CBC, Ford announced that the province had scrapped its contract with Musk’s satellite internet company as part of the ongoing North American trade dispute.

He also declared that moving forward, U.S.-based companies would be barred from participating in provincial procurement, criticizing Trump for having “chosen chaos” over economic cooperation.

This decision follows a warning from the 60-year-old MPP, who had threatened to cut power to 1.5 million American customers after U.S. President Donald Trump announced what he called ‘catastrophic’ new tariffs on Canada.

Although there was a temporary 30-day halt on the plan, Trump has now officially approved a rollout of 25% tariffs on Canadian exports and a 10% tariff on Canadian energy.

Since returning to the White House in January, the 47th president has stated that China, Mexico, and Canada must be “held accountable for their promises to halt the flood of poisonous drugs into the US.”Adding fuel to the fire, Trump suggested that the only way for Canada to avoid the tariffs would be to become a “cherished” 51st state.
