Canada is fighting back.

Only Trump/MAGA expected that they wouldn't.

Great move for their people. I guess they can stay with dial up.

They are being attacked by Musk and Trump. I don't blame them one bit for pulling the plug on Starlink.

I understand why they are doing it. Just pointing out that it kinda sucks for the Canadian people.

Oddly enough, no response. So I had a look a this "deal".

It was to provide 15,000 users in rural Ontario with internet. That would be 0.004% of Dinger's "the Canadian people".

That's twice as much as the .002% of collegiate level athletes that are transgender, so I can see it being a concern for him.
