Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced he is canceling a $100M contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink and banning U.S. firms from provincial contracts in retaliation for Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

Ford warned that American companies could lose “tens of billions” in revenues.

Canada and Mexico have imposed counter-tariffs, while Ontario also plans to remove American liquor brands from stores.

Trump responded by suggesting Canada should become the U.S.’s 51st state to avoid tariffs, arguing Canada’s trade surplus makes it economically dependent on the U.S.

    It’s not. They’ll see it as more evidence of the globohomo hegemony punishing the poor, oppressed right and further cement their worldview.

      It’s not just trump though, people vote in local elections as well. You want Newsom to be strong and Kentucky conservatives to be weak.
