Canada’s Government Cancels $100 Million Contract With Starlink After Trump’s Tax Hikes. Authorities Also Plan 100% Tariff on Tesla Cars.

In a new round of trade retaliations following tariffs imposed by the U.S., the Canadian government has taken drastic measures against American companies, especially those linked to Elon Musk, such as Starlink. On March 5, Canada canceled the $100 million contract with Starlink after the Trump administration imposed taxes on products from Canada and Mexico. Canada is also considering a 100% tariff on Tesla cars.

Canada’s Government Cancels $100 Million Contract With Starlink

Earlier this month, Ontario Premier Rob Ford announced that Canada canceled a $100 million contract with Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite company. Ford criticized the economic impacts of American taxes. He also emphasized that he will no longer award contracts to companies that support economic attacks against the province and the country.

In addition, Rob highlighted that companies based in the United States are now prohibited from participating in bids for provincial government contracts, which amount to $30 billion per year.

Understand the Discontent with Elon Musk

The decision, where the Government of Canada canceled a $100 million contract with Starlink, and Freeland’s proposal for a 100% tariff on Tesla cars, reflects the growing discontent with Musk in Canada. A recent petition demanding the revocation of Musk’s Canadian citizenship has already collected 230,000 signatures, accusing the billionaire of undermining Canadian sovereignty.

The businessman, who holds Canadian citizenship through his mother, Maye Musk, responded irreverently, stating that Canada is not a real country, which further intensified the conflict against him and his companies, such as the 100% tariff on Tesla cars. Additionally, with the termination of the contract with Starlink, Canadian citizens relying on government-provided Starlink will soon have their internet signal cut.

Discontent with Musk is not limited to the Government of Canada. Tesla sales are declining in Europe, especially in European Union countries, as well as in California, which was previously one of the company’s largest markets. The wave of actions against vehicles of the brand, in some cases including acts of vandalism, is also growing.

U.S. President Backtracks

On Tuesday (11), U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he sees no recession in the country and that the economy will improve. Regarding Canada, Trump mentioned that he may consider tariffs of 50%, adding that he may also abandon plans to double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum.

He suggested a possible union between the two countries, stating that if Canada becomes its 51st state, there will be no tariffs. Trump also indicated that he is focused on reducing tariffs on Canada at this time.
