@Mikal #Starlink was an issue in the provincial #Ontario election last week - @fordnation said he would tear up the $100M deal he signed last November when tariffs were announced but it was back on after a pause was announced. Tariffs are back on but the deal is also still on, apparently.
A Canadian alternative through #Telesat should be online next year.

SpaceX recently signed a deal to launch 14 missions for #Canadian 
operator #Telesat to deliver its Lightspeed #internet satellites to #orbit, and has previously launched satellites
