  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, July 31, 2025 – It’s breakup season for **Elon Musk** , with the Ontario government becoming the latest to cut ties.\n\nOntario Minister of Energy and Mines **Stephen Lecce** _announced_ Wednesday that the province has officially terminated its $92 million contract with Starlink, SpaceX’s low-Earth orbit satellite network.\n\nThe contract, signed in November 2024, aimed to provide satellite Internet service to 15,000 locations, primarily in underserved and remote areas across Ontario Canada’s fourth largest province by territory.\n\n\n\n_****There's a whole community behind your FREE membership...****_\n\n There's a whole community behind your FREE membership... \n\n“What the province will be doing is we will be paying for the installation and equipment fees,” Ontario Minister of Infrastructure **Kinga Surma** _stated after the deal was signed._\n\nBut tensions between Musk and Ontario officials arose soon after.\n\nIn February, Ontario Premier **Doug Ford** _threatened to end the contract_ with Starlink in response to President **Donald Trump** ’s tariffs on _Canadian goods._\n\nWhether the province would follow through on the threat remained unclear, especially as Musk’s close relationship with President Trump began to fray.\n\nHowever, at a news conference in Toronto, _Lecce confirmed the cancellation._\n\n“I can confirm that the premier has fulfilled his word, which is to cancel that contract because of the very reasons he cited in the past,” Lecce said. “We are standing up for Canada.”\n\nLecce did not reveal how much the early exit will cost the province.\n\nStarlink has been _expanding its footprint throughout Canada_in recent months. Whether Ontario’s withdrawal will affect the company’s subscription rates remains to be seen.",
