Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a sweeping ban on American companies bidding for provincial contracts until the U.S. rescinds 25% tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump on Canadian goods. Ford also canceled Ontario’s C$100M ($68M) partnership with Elon Musk’s Starlink, a satellite internet subsidiary of SpaceX, calling it a response to “economic sabotage.”

The terminated Starlink deal, launched in November 2023, aimed to provide high-speed satellite internet to 15,000 rural Ontario homes and businesses.

Presently however, Ford accused Musk, a notable Trump ally, of complicity in “destroying Ontario’s economy” through U.S. trade policies. SpaceX has yet to publicly comment at the tim of filing thai report.

Canada Threatens $155B Counter-Tariffs in Aftermath of Tariff Collapse

After failed talks between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Trump, Canada pledged C$155B ($107B) in retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, including a C$30B immediate levy. Trudeau went further to warn that “Canada will hit back hard,” while Ford vowed Ontario would lead the charge by targeting U.S. liquor imports and contracts.

As a result of the Trudeau-Trump tariff collapse, U.S. stock markets tumbled Monday reflecting the fears of a prolonged North American trade war. The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and NASDAQ all the plummeted sharply amid uncertainty over Canadian countermeasures.
