On Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump slapped 25 per cent tariffs on the vast majority of Canadian imports, sparking a growing trade war between the two neighbouring countries.

Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province will permanently cancel its $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink, even if U.S. tariffs are lifted.

The decision follows Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, which prompted Ontario to ban U.S. firms from contracts.

Ford cited Musk’s ties to Trump as a factor and said he is willing to fight potential legal fallout.

Musk previously responded to cancellation threats with a dismissive “Oh well.”

    In terms of the history of the game, the CPC changed their name to the PCPC when the Premier of Manitoba, who lead the provincial Progressive party, took over party leadership and insisted that ‘Progressive’ be added to the name. The guy thought he’d get his voters to vote conservative, but they just abandoned him in the process and voted Liberal.

    It never represented policy position. It was just one guy trying to bring some brand recognition along with him, and failing. As with most conservative language usage, it was all about confusing the issue and conning voters into supporting them.
