Canada

Fucking spineless prick.

If they didn't want contracts cancelled they shouldn't have threatened us. Don't back down, cancel them anyway.

Tariffs or not Elon Musk is enough of a reason to cancel the deal.

Boooo. Shut that shit down. We don't need to be validating Elon's space junk.

Why the hell is the government paying for a service that is directed towards individual households at a price that few households would find difficult to pay for in the first place?

This is frankly not only a waste of taxpayer money, but also a blatant attempt to buddy up with an American oligarch.

Once again, Ford is selling this province to his oligarch buddies.

For anyone who blinked and missed it, Marit Stiles and Bonnie Crombie both stated on Monday morning that they were in agreement with each other on cancelling the Starlink deal.

So Doug slaps on a ball cap, gets his face in the cameras and says he’d tear up the contract IF the tariffs go through. And rogers/bell/murdoch news said or implied in their headlines that he DID tear up the contract. Headline commentators yesterday seemed convinced it's something he’d already done. Or it was his idea alone.

Now he gets to be Canada’s defender - without him actually having to talk to or (god forbid) work with any of our other elected reps during this snap election he chose to call during an international crisis.

(To my fellow Ontarians: Ignore the neverending polls. Ignore the online commentary telling you the alternatives aren't doing enough in exactly the right way. Ignore the pages of discourse on how our Democracy just isn't good enough. Doug took electoral reform away from municipalities that voted for it. Please, show up and vote with your neighbours.)

We do not negotiate with terrorists.

Ford was bluffing about Starlink; he was trying to show pre-election how much he stands up for Ontario.

Booooooo

i get such whiplash from this guy. yes, i dislike him. but then again, he appears to be one of the people who are sticking up for our country the most.

and then he backs down, so it’s like back to square one, “what are you doing?”

I knew it was way too good to be true.

I know people that use Starlink because they have nothing else except Xplore (formerly Xplornet), which sucks ass. I like that they have the choice to avoid Xplore. That said, I would love to see Dougie shoot himself in the foot and go through with something like this so that he loses the rural vote.

Cut off Nazis.

The guy in the thumbnail is like the president of Canada or something right?
