Doug Ford says the Ontario government is 'ripping up' its $100-million contract with Elon Musk's Starlink to provide high-speed internet to northern and rural communities.

The article from MSN discusses Ontario Premier Doug Ford's decision to cancel a $100 million contract with Elon Musk's Starlink, a satellite internet service, which was intended to provide high-speed internet to remote and rural areas of Ontario. The contract was part of a broader initiative to improve internet connectivity across the province. However, the decision to terminate the deal has sparked controversy and debate over the effectiveness and necessity of such a service, especially given Starlink's ongoing issues with regulatory compliance and its business model. Critics argue that the move could leave many rural Ontarians without the promised internet improvements, while supporters of the cancellation point to potential cost savings and the exploration of alternative solutions. The article also touches on the broader implications for Musk's ventures in Canada and the political ramifications for Ford's administration.
