    Why the hell is the government paying for a service that is directed towards individual households at a price that few households would find difficult to pay for in the first place?

    This is frankly not only a waste of taxpayer money, but also a blatant attempt to buddy up with an American oligarch.

    Once again, Ford is selling this province to his oligarch buddies.

      I don’t think the contract has even been made public but apparently there was some stuff in there to have starlink upgrade local infrastructure. Idk why you would hire starlink for that and without the full contract it’s really hard to know wtf this contract is even about because as you said the per unit cost way exceeds just going to Costco and buying starlink.
