Ottawa: Ontario, Canada's most populous province and its economic engine, announced Monday a ban on US companies bidding on tens of billions of dollars worth of government contracts, and dumped a deal with Elon Musk's Starlink in a pushback to US tariffs.
"Ontario won't do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy," Ontario Premier Doug Ford said on X. "US-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame."
