Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford is "ripping up" Ontario's nearly $100 million contract with Elon Musk's Starlink in the wake of U.S. tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods, he said in a statement Monday.
Musk is "part of the Trump team that wants to destroy families, incomes, destroy businesses," Ford said at a news conference in Etobicoke on Monday.
Ford said the province and its agencies spend $30 billion every year on procurement.
Ford has faced criticism for the contract, with Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie calling on him to end the deal last week.
As for potential penalties for breaching the contract, Ford said, "I think we have a very, very good case if it goes to court.".
"Why Doug Ford thought it was a good idea to do a sole source contract with Elon Musk and Starlink makes absolutely no sense to me," Schreiner said in Kitchener on Monday.
In a statement Monday, Crombie said she had been calling for the contract to be ripped up since the inauguration. »
