Ontario Premier Doug Ford made this announcement in a post on X on Monday.

“Ontario won’t do business with people hell-bent on destroying our economy.

Ford said he was ripping up a Can$100 million (US$68 million) contract with Starlink, signed in November, to provide internet services to 15,000 homes and businesses in remote northern parts of Ontario.
