Get rid of that space junk.

Over half the total sattelites in orbit are Starlink. This has to stop now before we loose access to space.

While I can appreciate that, starlink is going to keep launching them even if we don't use it in Canada. Saying cut starlink out is fine and all but there are lots of places and communities without any decent broadband options at all (in Canada and beyond).

If your in an area getting decent cable or fiber as an option then your comments really don't require any level of sacrifice from you.

Would you commit to the comment to prevent starlink from additional satellites if it meant a general tax increase for everyone resulting in you personally paying an extra of $200/year to accomodate fiber buildout and maintenance?

Totally fair but his complaint was about too many satellites which means we're limited to terrestrial options

Theres a difference between 200 and 5,000, and starlink is continuing growing.... basically starlink is the shotgun approach of network coverage.
