Ontario Premier Doug Ford Wisely Rips Up Contract With Starlink He Never Should Have Signed In The First Place

...Ontario Premier Doug Ford has finally shredded his Province’s $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite broadband service. Like many politicians... Ford was apparently tricked into thinking that the expensive, capacity-constrained broadband service was a sort of magic bullet for rural broadband access.
But with King Trump’s mindless and destructive tariffs on Canadian goods wreaking havoc, Ford appears to have come to his senses and finally scrapped the deal:
[Block quote]
“This is not the outcome anyone wanted,” Ford said at Queen’s Park in Toronto. “We could have poured our efforts into making Canada and the U.S. the two richest, most successful, safest, most secure two countries on the planet. Unfortunately, one man — President Trump — has chosen chaos instead.”

Trump, of course, has no idea how anything actually works. He implemented his tariffs because it’s the kind of ignorant mafia-style bullying he’s used to from his years in NYC real estate fraud. Use whatever leverage you can find to threaten immense harm to your exploitation target, then giggle as they sheepishly approach you, hat in hand... (see: U.S. media companies)...
Canadians, quite correctly, have instead responded by telling King Dingus to go fuck himself.](https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/114/118/516/165/009/354/original/28f56585b9f395bf.png "Headline and text from article(edited for length):
