Ontario confirms Starlink deal cancelled, keeps cost secret

July 30, 2025

The Ontario government says it has agreed with satellite internet provider Starlink – owned by billionaire Elon Musk – on the terms to end a $92-million contract with the company that Premier Doug Ford had vowed to rip up during his winter re-election campaign in retaliation for U.S. tariffs. But the province would not reveal how much taxpayers will have to pay to get out of the deal.

Ontario Minister of Energy and Mines, Stephen Lecce, whose department was overseeing the contract, confirmed on Wednesday that talks to end it had finished and that the province was now aiming to find a Canadian company to replace Starlink. He declined to say how much the cancellation cost.
