Ontario Premier Doug Ford said that he would cancel the $100 million deal the Canadian province signed with Starlink in response to Trump's 25% tariff on Canadian goods. He’s also imposing a 25% tax on electricity exports, with New York, Michigan, and Minnesota being the most affected. CBC also reports that U.S.-based companies are banned from procurement contracts with the province.
This isn’t the first time Ford has canceled the Starlink deal over tariffs. Ford threatened not to go ahead with the contract because of all the talk of tariffs in February. However, since Trump delayed it by about a month, he decided to move forward with it. But this time, the Ontario Premier said that even if Trump lifts the 25% tariffs he applied just days ago, the deal will remain canceled—permanently.
