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

Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario, Canada, has announced the province has shredded its contract with Musk’s satellite internet company Starlink in retaliation amid the North American trade battle, reports CBC.

Ford also stated he would ban all US-based companies from taking part in any further provincial procurement after slamming Trump for having ‘chosen chaos’ over shared prosperity.

The move comes as the 60-year-old MPP threatened to shut off power to 1.5 million US customerswhen American President Donald Trump announced new ‘catastrophic’ tariffs on the country.

There was a 30-day pause on the plans, but Trump signed off on the plan to roll out 25 percent tariffs on Canadian exports and 10 percent tariffs on Canadian energy this week.

The 47th POTUS said not long after returning to the White House in January that China, Mexico and Canada ought to be held ‘accountable for their promises to halt the flood of poisonous drugs into the US.’
