Ontario Premier Doug Ford Cancels Elon Musk’s Starlink Deal and Blocks U.S. Companies Amid Trump Trade War
July 25, 2026
TRUMP’S TRADE WAR BACKFIRES: CANADA STRIKES BACK! 🇨🇦
In a massive retaliation against Donald Trump’s economic tariffs, Ontario Premier Doug Ford just pulled the plug on American corporations, starting with Elon Musk’s Starlink.
Ford didn’t mince words as he officially locked all U.S. companies out of government procurement across Canada’s most populous province:
“It’s done. It’s gone. We will not award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.”
Ontario is completely banning U.S. companies from its $30 billion annual government procurement budget AND its massive $200 billion infrastructure development plan.
Ford sent a direct warning to American corporate CEOs: “They have no one to blame but President Trump.”
Urged all 444 cities across Ontario (with mayors like Patrick Brown in Brampton already moving) to ban U.S. suppliers immediately.
Trump thought he could bully Canada with economic tariffs; instead, American businesses just lost tens of billions of dollars in revenue overnight.

Doug Ford:…Is off the shelves. Also, 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. U.S. based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in revenues. They only have President Trump to blame. I’m also urging all 444 municipalities to do the same, and I’m thrilled to see some are already stepping up. For example, Mayor Patrick Brown in the city of Brampton and many other cities as part of this government wide procurement ban, we’re going one step further. We’re ripping up Ontario’s contract with Starlink. It’s done. It’s gone. We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country. Alongside federal tariffs and the measures my fellow premiers are bringing forward this Team Canada’s opening response.
