The leader of Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, says he will pause all retaliatory measures against the United States after news broke that the threat of tariffs has been put on hold for a month.

Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a pause on retaliatory measures against the U.S. after Trump agreed to delay tariffs on Canada for 30 days.

Ford had planned to cancel a CA$100 million Starlink contract, ban U.S. booze sales, and block American firms from provincial contracts.

The pause follows Canada’s concessions on border security and fentanyl. Prime Minister Trudeau pledged new enforcement measures to ease tensions.

The temporary halt averts an immediate trade war, but Ford warned Trump may use tariff threats again in future negotiations.

    The most reliable rural internet provider is…

    owned by a nazi (that literally did the salute on live tv)… 😕 (fuck this world)

    (Btw, if you are using Starlink, don’t feel bad for using Starlink, its capitalism’s fault, don’t blame yourself)

      I have to use starlink because my only other option is spotty internet for twice the price, a quarter the speed, and a mountain of technical issues owned by a monopoly I’m my area. But to be fair I got starlink years ago before shit turned into… This.

        Hopefully kuiper will eventually be a meaningful alternative. Though Amazon also isn’t great…
