Ontario Premier Doug Ford is announcing that the province will rip up its $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink ahead of U.S. President Donald Trump’s incoming 25 per cent tariffs.

Ford’s office made the announcement Monday and said the government is also banning other American companies from provincial contracts going forward

    Great, sure, and I’m in the 33% that said, and is saying “hell to the power of fuck NO”.

    Edit: By which I mean I voted against the current shitshow. Sometimes my engrish is unclear. ;-)

      edit: I guess i see what you are saying now. Still pretty easy to misunderstand it though. I voted against him too. Not sure why i’m getting downvoted. Maybe people think i agree or disagree with what’s being said based on a simple 4 word question. Lemmy be weird sometimes.

        Ah, you misunderstand. Allow me to be explicit: I did vote against this shit show. Donvict47 won by 1.5%, and 19 million fewer voters in that election. It was voter suppression that won that election.

          You’re comfused. 33% of Americans did not vote. To say you’re part of that 33% means you didn’t vote.

            They didn’t say they were part of that 33%, they said they were “part of the 33% that said…” Which is a different third of the population

            And how do you feel about propaganda that encourages people to not vote? If the propaganda effectively stops people from voting, e.g. bomb scares at polling places, or you’re not in a swing state so your vote doesn’t matter, would you call that suppression? Just asking.
