Eloon is a Genius. His mommy said so on Fox. sarcasm:

1. Good for them!

[sheshe2]

2. Good!!!

I was just watching Ontario's PM (?) on MSNBC just now.

[Tripper11]

5. Premier....equal to Governors of States - eom

[sheshe2]

20. Thanks!

[yellow dahlia]

19. Me too.

Can they adopt us?

[sheshe2]

22. I wish.

I saw a couple posts from Canadians today... and they do not want anything to do with us. I can't really say I blame them, we are the enemy now.

Trump did this!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. I for one welcome our new great provinces California and New York with Premiers Newsom and Hochul. . . .nt

[Amaryllis]

32. Can Oregon be included?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

38. And Oregon and Washington. Makes a nice sweep and connects it all by land with British Columbia. . . . nt

[yellow dahlia]

36. Can you vote to welcome New England, as well? Please!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. I don't have to vote on it, I'm sure we'd all welcome New England! . . . . . nt

[yellow dahlia]

41. Thank you.

Phew!



We need a Canadian flag on the "classic smilies".

[CountAllVotes]

3. some cell phone providers are in with Starlink

Buyer beware!

[standingtall]

4. America needs to do the same if we ever get the Government back

in fact every Government contract Musk has has to go.

[swong19104]

14. Need to go through all gov contracts

and reapprove or cancel accordingly.

[MichMan]

6. Are they going to prohibit individuals from using it?

[efhmc]

8. Interesting question.

[Bev54]

10. No but I would love for our federal government

To ban them here.

[MichMan]

11. Couldn't even ban TikToc

[Bev54]

12. They didn't try, only shut down their company in Canada

For security concerns. They left the app alone so people can still use it.

[AllyCat]

44. Doesn't say. It's specifically about government contracts.

So go ahead and use Nazi satellite if you want. Rugged individualism is still alive and well for those not wanting to listen to the gubmint apparently.

[efhmc]

7. Evil Muck is the kind of genius who ruins governments and businesses.

[Bev54]

9. Yes, finally

Now we have to get our oil companies to get rid of starlink. Find a different solution. They use it because their rigs need reliable internet in the middle of nowhere. There must be another company to turn to. I wish the Canadian government would just ban starlink here.

[airplaneman]

34. Yes China is putting up a system

[Initech]

13. Thank you Doug Ford!

Fuck you Elon and your DOGE goons!

[dalton99a]

15. Everyone should do the same

[AmericaUnderSiege]

16. Had to be done. But the way forward needs to be on different terms.

Neither America nor Canada will benefit if everything is according to the terms of a puppet regime that hates both.

[Initech]

31. I hope to see that psychopath broke and penniless one day.

Fuck Elon Musk.

[Scrivener7]

17. I want to be in Ontario!

[orangecrush]

18. GOOD

[pwb]

21. Elon should have learned from the My Pillow guy?

Politics and business do not mix well.

[hunter]

23. Most nations are eventually going to ban Starlink as a threat to their national security.

It never was an economically viable thing in the first place.

Sadly, the U.S.A. taxpayer, is going to pay for it.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, Musk has done has made the world a better place.

The site formerly known as twitter can go to hell, Starlink can go to hell, SpaceX can got to hell, Tesla can go to hell, and DOGE can go to hell.

Musk can go to hell.

[WinstonSmith4740]

24. Excellent!

The only thing those assholes understand or care about is money, so hit them where it hurts the most.

[cayugafalls]

25. I honestly think they don't and tht is the point. They will drain this country dry.

Monetarily, militarily, morally and finally literally.

I pray I am wrong, but I am not waiting very much longer, I have stuff to protect, it ain't much, but it's mine.

Love you all...never let them steal your joy.

[Lovie777]

26. I think a lot of countries should...

end their contracts with starlink.

[iluvtennis]

27. Awesome. TSF will backtrack on these tariffs shortly. n/t

[SamKnause]

39. Thank you Canada !!!

[Meowmee]

40. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great... everyone else should do the same. Start an alternative if needed and cancel all his contracts.

[Dem4life1234]

42. Their population is so much smarter than America's

Good for them! I hope they also strip his citizenship.

If America was smart, they would have cancelled this thieving maniac's contracts and deported his ass.

43. Better educational system in Canada

And they don’t have as many right wing media as we do in the US.
