“US-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame,” he said.
Ford said he was ripping up a Can$100 million (US$68 million) contract with Starlink, signed in November, to provide internet services to 15,000 homes and businesses in remote northern parts of Ontario.
