‘Oh well’: Musk responds to Ontario’s termination of $100M Starlink contract

[Cellblock2429]

Ford isn't too bright. A $100M contact (not sure if it;s Canadian or U.S currency) is, what? Maybe $30M profit for Musks company.

The guy is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

The response to Trump is to hit with tariffs and hope he doesn't escalate. Ford in his wisdom, decides to be a fake tough guy and put a target on Ontario. Brilliant move.

If Trump said, "10% for all of Canada EXCEPT Ontario who must pay 25%", Ford would look like the fool he has been for a decade as we rapidly reach insolvency and more than half of all of Canadas debt.

Doug Ford says the Ontario government is "ripping up" its $100-million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink to provide high-speed internet to northern and rural communities.

Ford, who plunged the province into an early election last week, said in a social media post Monday that effective immediately, the Progressive Conservative government is banning American companies from provincial contracts.


The move follows U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to enact a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian imports beginning Tuesday; Ottawa and the provinces are retaliating, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau imposing immediate tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods, followed by further tariffs on $125 billion worth of American products in 21 days.

"Every year, the Ontario government and its agencies spend $30 billion on procurement, alongside our $200 billion plan to build Ontario. U.S.-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame," Ford said in his post.

"We’re going one step further. We’ll be ripping up the province’s contract with Starlink. Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy."

/---/ Has Doug Ford ever heard the expression, cutting off your nose to spite your face?

he got what he wanted from Mexico he didn't blink.

He was able to declare victory for getting what the US already had.

Foreign leaders have worked that out now. Let Chump loudly declare victory and he doesn't need anything else.

Mexico will station 10,000 troops on their southern border. Which is what Trump wanted. He got exactly what he wanted. He got just what he wanted from Canada. That's why tariffs were paused.

In deals already made earlier.

You guys are hilarious.

What he wanted was to be a winner and declare victory. Anyone who lets him do that can have whatever they want.

Now Mexico will station 10,000 troops on the US border.

That’s what Trump got.

Already had 10,000 on the border through an earlier agreement.

What did US get from deals to pause tariffs on Canada and Mexico? Not that much, observers say

President Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs against Canada and Mexico risked blowing up North America’s economy.

Ford says if the contract isn’t ripped up he’ll leave the country.

/—-/ Post links proving that.

The Canadians have gone full retard over the tariffs.

Canada needs Starlink more than Starlink needs Canada.

And, supposedly, the liquor stores are removing US whiskey from the shelves. Those morons know they already paid for that inventory. Right?...lol

It’s whisky on consignment.

You're long on accusations but short on proof.
