Isnt a contract something that you get in trouble for ripping up and not paying? Like that's the definition of a contract

What's Elon going to do? March up there to Ontario and throw a tantrum on the steps of the capitol building? He can take them to court in Canada, but that would take years.

As much as I dislike Ford, I'm happy to see him doing his job properly for a change.

This, in no way, makes up for Bill 212. But I'm glad to see that he's at least united with the rest of the country on one goddamn thing.

I only had disney+, prime, and netflix. Last week I was down to netflix. Considering doing that this week as well.

I hope he does. We handle lawsuits differently in Canada and he doesn't own our judges or supreme court. I look forward to reading the judges decision lambasting him and his lawyers.

Files a lawsuit based on what? The only thing he could possibly sue for would be if Ontario doesn't pay whatever penalty clauses are in that contract.

The guy sued companies because they didn't advertise on his website. I wouldn't put trying to sue because of this past him.
