Ontario won't officially say how much the fee it agreed to pay Starlink amounted to. One source said it was substantially less than the full contract but 'not zero.'
All jokes about Doug Ford’s expertise in paying outrageous fees for cancelling contracts, this was the right move. The mistake was to pay a fee at all. Starlink, as witnessed in Ukraine, and Musks political shenanigans is an unreliable state-adjacent company, that is taking illegal and hostile actions against Canada under false pretext. Breach of contract, force majeur take your pick. We owe them nothing.
