Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he is cancelling a nearly $100 million contract with U.S. satellite internet provider Starlink as part of the province’s response to U.S. tariffs, as well as banning all American companies from future provincial contracts.
“We’ll be ripping up the province’s contract with Starlink. Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy,” Ford, who is in the middle of an election campaign, wrote in a post on the social media platform X on Feb. 3.
