For anyone wondering "what contract???", please read the following article. Not only is there a $7B cancellation, Slim also cancelled future projects. At least, that's how I read it.

One guy in Mexico IS NOT SOUTH AMERICA. Stop promoting this garbage.

icanlookthatup.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm not promoting, I'm providing an actual link to an actual article that *says* what's going on.

Now take a few breaths and relax before you have an aneurysm or something.

mrwolfcomics.bsky.social•3 days ago

Can’t seem to find any reporting on South America canceling.

simongood.bsky.social•2 days ago

South America is not one country. Where’s the link to this?

r58r58.bsky.social•2 days ago

Made in Canada

cantankerouscanuck.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hate to be "that guy," but where are the sources/receipts for this? South America is a continent and, as far as I know, each of the 12 South American countries would sign their own contracts. Unintentional misinformation does not help if we are really going to kick Musk where it really hurts.

petercolapinto.bsky.social•2 days ago

@peipolitical.bsky.social constantly post crap like this with no attribution, I called them out on a fake post about LBG exports to Europe. No response, post is still up. Do not take them seriously.

topherphillips.bsky.social•2 days ago

Good to know. Adding them to the block list.

hope50.bsky.social•3 days ago

Now Doug Ford should too - no Starlink in Canada!

trudykeil.bsky.social•3 days ago

He's holding onto that move for when and if tarrifs ever take effect. I agree it should be done immediately. We've seen enough.

dadofblue.bsky.social•3 days ago

There are 2 petitions that I’ve seen. One for Ontario and one for all of Canada.

petercolapinto.bsky.social•2 days ago

I tried to be polite the last time I saw you posting unattributed crap but now you can just fuck right off, this doesn’t help.

Absolutely the whole country has to pressure him🇨🇦

All of the countries in S. America? The whole continent?

mari2023.bsky.social•3 days ago

Are the Feds able to deem it a security threat and ban Starlink in Canada?

ladyjaynes.bsky.social•2 days ago

I would think so but that would likely be viewed as a provocation by Musk/Trump. It would leave some people in remote locations with no Internet service. We need to get that in place first.

northbaymoe.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ford is an america first a-hole …he does not care one iota about Ontario

mbdoubleair.bsky.social•2 days ago

Please provide a source for this information. I haven’t heard anything about this.

icanlookthatup.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm guessing they're talking about the Carlos Slim stuff:

dogsouljah.bsky.social•3 days ago

Maybe when he gets back from trumps dacha

giizhik.bsky.social•2 days ago

Unfortunately, this premier has never done what Ontario wants...yet the dumb dumbs keep voting for him. Ford doesn't give a fIg about Ontario. Things will get bad.

qortni.bsky.social•3 days ago

Be careful of false information in our ranks. There is no verifiable info to support this. The closest I can find is a $7bn deal that fell through with a Mexican billionaire. South America isn't even a country, and that should have alerted you this was fishy.

icanlookthatup.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Carlos Slim deal is what I think they're talking about - the $7B agreement is one thing but he had other future contracts worth tens of billions in the works.

roxannenugent.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ford needs to cancel Starlink now but he won't because he is bought and paid for by Trump and Musk.

wokemonster.bsky.social•3 days ago

He won’t because the people of Ontario won’t force him to.

spudislander45.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly.

shene66.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yup, the Ontario electorate are lazy and stupid.

northbaymoe.bsky.social•2 days ago

Compulsory voting. Everyone needs to be engaged for democracy to flourish.

Yeah… South America is not a country

stanleygilroy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Apparently Doug Ford just Canceled the Ontario Starlink deal as well.

scotialassie.bsky.social•3 days ago

That would indeed be good news.

stanleygilroy.bsky.social•3 days ago

I was wrong, ford said he was going to cancel it and then canceled the cancel.

scotialassie.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh dang. That's too bad.

stanleygilroy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agreed, I am starting to think all his Partiotic talk was BS to get re-elected.

paige9999.bsky.social•3 days ago

He made a big show of threatening to, just in time for the snap election… but as of now it’s still on

stanleygilroy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yup, my bad, I read the fake cancel before the election.

vanillabn.bsky.social•3 days ago

He backtracked and never cancelled it when the tariffs were put on hold. Ford is a criminal with no moral compass.

stanleygilroy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yup my bad!

geeoflac.bsky.social•3 days ago

No, he didn't. He put it on hold for 5 minutes then it was back on.

stanleygilroy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yup, my bad.

peipolitical.bsky.social•3 days ago

Did he? When?

stanleygilroy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, my bad, he did announce he was ripping it up but then almost immediately canceled the cancel.

Sorry

From a lounge chair in Florida?

stanleygilroy.bsky.social•3 days ago

He canceled the Cancel already.

My bad

pathsnpaddles.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wish Canada would outright ban them. And if anyone knows of a good replacement for RV travel I’d love to hear it. I was looking at starlink for road trips next year but no way.

paige9999.bsky.social•3 days ago

You can reach Ford here to share your thoughts on the Starlink deal:

barbaraeh.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thanks for that! I just sent an email.

einram.bsky.social•3 days ago

People need to start calling his office and demanding this, period. He got his mandate, and now he must start fulfilling it…

yam-alrac.bsky.social•3 days ago

Canada should do this. At every level: household, corporate, and government.

robppm319.bsky.social•2 days ago

When did south america become a unified political entity?

What is it you are referencing?

and?

When did PEI residents with their 4 MPs for 150,000 voters get a say in Ontario where each MP represents 150,000 voters?truth matters

“South America”? Which country? Do you have a source reference please?

Ford won’t listen. However… telecommunications in Canada is under federal jurisdiction, regulated through the CRTC. Contact them:

Starlink, owned 40% by Elon Musk, so is effectively his private company, donated $270 million to Trump’s campaign.
Now Elon wants to get paid back and make billions and billions of dollars thru Starlink’s valuation.
The Trump presidency is the most corrupt government in US history.

We can’t. He’s in Florida right now kissing the ring.

We're trying to! I've emailed him and I call once a week. Maybe I need to start calling every single day until he does!! #onpoli

This might be the source of the 'cancel Starlink' in South America comments.

phidipdbq.bsky.social•2 days ago

Thanks for trying. That's $7B. Wonder who came up with the other $22B.

So few people ask for a source, or even a definition of South America in this context. Nice to see someone at least trying.

annaoba2.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wrote my MPP three times.

whiskybot.bsky.social•2 days ago

Not likely to happen now that Doug got the slim margin to put him back in criminal cruise control. He loves him some 1% boot.

momonhiatus.bsky.social•3 days ago

He doesn’t feel he needs to now. He’s already been re elected. 😔
