Ontario premier says he's 'ripping up' $100m contract with Musk's Starlink in response to US tariffs

nah. putin's russia is not making trump fellate money anymore. musk is the sugar daddy now.

Not trying to bring down the party, but Ford is an absolute monster. This is definitely a 'broken clock' situation, and sadly will probably lead to him winning yet again.

The expression is "one and the same".

[felixcress@lemmy.world]

Scottish and Irish whisky is fantastic, try it.

[felixcress@lemmy.world]

People are responsible for the consequences of their actions.

[felixcress@lemmy.world]

he's an absolute piece of shit and it's really weird to see him on the right side of this one.

He's smart enough to see a losing cause and stay the fuck away from it.

That's your answer.

[iamthetot@sh.itjust.works]

Your first paragraph is undercut by your second.

I didn't say blue voters. I said people in blue states. That means blue voters, red voters, independent voters, and non voters. I meant everyone in those blue states should feel the effects and speak up and out.

Note that Musk also was spewing pro-Russian views on Ukraine too.

Collingwood whisky is lovely. Ungava gin is gorgeous. Highly recommend them both.

Note that without California republican House members, the GOP wouldn't have a majority. Nevada despite being a 'Red State', contributes more democrat than republican representatives. If three red house races had went the other way, Trump would have had much more meaningful resistance.

The federal government ultimately has authority over the blue states, and as such Trump and American companies have access to their resources and/or status.

[jj4211@lemmy.world]

Many of the blue states send republicans to the house, and if those districts went the other way, we'd actually have a house that might actually be interested in holding Trump accountable.

[voroxpete@sh.itjust.works]

Oh, yeah, I said it was weird, I didn't say I had any questions about it. I know damn well why he's doing this.

[moon@lemmy.ml]

Except he's staking the country's future on being an 'AI superpower', so there's no chance he does anything to piss off big tech

[moon@lemmy.ml]

He was also cornered on this since Chrystia Freeland was so loud about Ottawa needing to take action

[whoisearth@lemmy.ca]

The better Ford died.

I'm not lying. Watch footage of him. He was a crackhead and an alcoholic but you could tell he cared about the people he cared about. DoFo is a mob shill.

[banana@sh.itjust.works]

Tbf I'm in MB and didn't agree with either of them haha, I wasn't close enough to really see what Rob did for the city so take my opinion with a grain of salt

[dogslayeggs@lemmy.world]

And those voters would still vote for Trump. They will claim their hardships weren't due to Canada's tariffs but due to California having too high of taxes and not giving them enough water.

[gammelfisch@lemmy.world]

Smart move by Ontario, hopefully the other provinces will do the same.

[njm1314@lemmy.world]

I'm shocked to see Canadian conservatives Actually side with their country over authoritarian billionaires. Like I'm downright flabbergasted. Never in 100 years did I think they'd actually circle the wagons. I mean I'm still not really convinced, but I have my eyebrows raised.

[floofloof@lemmy.ca]

It is. Right now I'm quite interested in buying Canadian though, to support this country through a difficult time.
