Confidential settlement for scuttled Starlink deal means Ontarians kept in dark on payout | CBC News Ontario's payout to Elon Musk's SpaceX over a cancelled Starlink contract will remain a secret after the two sides agreed to a confidential settlement, The Canadian Press has learned.

I remain for the cancellation of this contract, however, I am firmly against the #secrects that #Ontario under #DougFord continue to keep. #ONPoli #CDNPoli #Starlink

Whatever you do, DO NOT sign up for #Adobe services. They do not offer a clear way to cancel accounts and continue to charge for services long after you've requested the account be cancelled.

Answer: we don't make oil. We make tar and pump it to other locations to be converted into other products (like oil).

You don't have to take my word for it, the US/Israeli attacks on Iran are manifestly illegal.

Regarding the attack on Iran

PM Carney chose to support

the breaking of international law,

& the breaking of the UN Charter ,

while supporting war crimes & war criminals,

which puts the lie to every word he spoke in Davos &

takes away any moral authority he had

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.
