Canada is duking it out with SpaceX, insisting Starlink doesn't need millions in subsidies: 'We should not be giving one cent of public money to an unaccountable imperialist like Elon Musk'

• Bell Canada, Canada's largest telecommunications company, is reportedly lobbying regulators to not issue millions of dollars worth of subsidies to Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite business. It's the latest in a series of salvos against the world's richest man since he hitched his wagon to President Donald Trump.

Amid an apparent Canada-wide rebuke of Elon Musk and his various companies since the world’s richest man joined Donald Trump’s administration as DOGE's cost-cutter-in-chief, the largest telecommunications company in Canada is lobbying the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to exempt Musk’s satellite business, Starlink, from potentially millions in subsidies every year.
