Ontario, a Canadian province bordering the United States, has announced plans to impose a 25 per cent export tax on the electricity it supplies to three US states if President Donald Trump’s administration continues to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian goods.

Ontario has cancelled its $100-million contract with Elon Musk-owned satellite internet company Starlink and will ban all United States (US)-based companies from taking part in provincial procurement as part of retaliatory measures in the North American trade war, Premier Doug Ford announced this morning.

It's over for Starlink in Ontario, according to the Canadian province's premier, Doug Ford. Ford said in a press conference that due to US tariffs imposed against Canada, Ontario canceled a $100 million contract with Elon Musk's Starlink satellite company it signed in November.

The Canadian province is killing a contract that would've spent $100 million CAD (US$68 million) to use Starlink for rural internet access.
