Ontario's Premier announced today that the province will be terminating its contract with Elon Musk's Starlink in response to US tariffs, a move that has left many residents surprised and concerned about the future of their internet connectivity.

The decision comes after the US government imposed tariffs on foreign-made telecommunications equipment, including the satellite dishes used by Starlink. Ontario had originally entered into a contract with Starlink to provide high-speed internet to remote areas of the province, but the new tariffs have significantly increased the cost of the equipment, making the project financially unfeasible.

Premier of Ontario stated, "We had high hopes for the Starlink project and the benefits it would bring to our residents, but unfortunately, the additional costs imposed by the tariffs have forced us to reconsider. We are exploring other options to ensure that all Ontarians have access to reliable internet service, especially in rural and underserved areas."

Many residents in Ontario who were eagerly awaiting the arrival of Starlink's service are now left wondering what the future holds for their internet connectivity. As the province navigates the challenges of the tariffs, it remains to be seen how they will address the growing issue of digital divide in the region.
