Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province will permanently cancel its $100 million contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink, even if U.S. tariffs are lifted.

The decision follows Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, which prompted Ontario to ban U.S. firms from contracts.

Ford cited Musk’s ties to Trump as a factor and said he is willing to fight potential legal fallout.

Musk previously responded to cancellation threats with a dismissive “Oh well.”

Dude I know... I imagine he gets it from a doctor probably. Though if it's like a Matthew Perry situation, he might need multiple sources if the doctor refuses to give him more than x amount. However, being a billionaire might just make all of that moot... Also, if he was doing the heroic doses Perry was doing, he wouldn't even be able to sit up, let alone stand or speak. He would be in a permanent k-hole (and we would probably be better off).

Anyway, I have thought about this, and all it would take is such a small amount of fentanyl. Do the world a favor.

What incredible news that would be to wake up to.

I think what you are seeing publicly is his "microdoses". His friends have said that he "microdoses daily, and macrodoses at parties" when referring to his ketamine use.

But yeah, IDK the economics of the ketamine trade. Although I somehow doubt he is getting it from doctors based off when these stories first came out, his affinity and constant use of the substance, and it's availability. In prescription form it's a new drug that's closely being watched.
