Ontario Premier Doug Ford has announced a significant move against US companies, banning them from bidding on government contracts worth tens of billions of dollars in response to US tariffs. Ford also revealed that the province is canceling a $100 million deal with Elon Musk’s Starlink, which was intended to provide internet services to remote northern regions of Ontario.
In a post on X, Ford expressed strong disapproval of the US tariffs, stating, “Ontario won’t do business with people hell-bent on destroying our economy,” and blamed former President Trump for the decision. The cancellation of the Starlink contract marks a firm stance against the economic pressures imposed by the US.
