"Ontario Premier Doug Ford brings the hammer down on Donald Trump and Elon Musk over the disastrous MAGA tariffs — announces cancellation of a lucrative Starlink deal and bans all American companies from government contracts.
And he was just getting warmed up...
"Starting today, all U.S.-based companies will be banned from taking part in government procurement. Every year the province and its agencies spend about $30 billion on procurement alongside our more than $200 billion plan to build infrastructure," said Ford.
"U.S. based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in revenues. They only have President Trump to blame," he stated bluntly.
"I'm also urging all four hundred and forty-four municipalities to do the same and I'm thrilled to see some are already stepping up." he continued. "For example, Mayor Patrick Brown and the city of Brampton and many other cities."
"As part of this government-wide procurement ban we're going one step closer. We're ripping up Ontario's contract with Starlink. It’s done, it’s gone," he said of the $100 million deal.
"We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country," Ford added.
"Alongside federal tariffs and the measures my fellow premiers are being forward, this is Team Canada's opening response," he said.
Ford has also threatened to cut off electricity to the United States and slap a 25% surcharge on the energy exports to New York, Michigan, and Minnesota.
Meanwhile, the U.S. stock market is in free fall and prices are already skyrocketing. If Trump doesn't reverse course immediately we are going to hurtle head first into a full-blown recession."
