It’s time we address the elephant in the room regarding Starlink and Telesat. Here's why this situation stinks of an inside job:
1. **Elon's Canadian Roots**: Elon Musk isn't just some foreign billionaire; he's a Canadian citizen. His contributions to Canada, including Starlink's service, should be recognized rather than dismissed.
2. **Telesat's Ownership**: While Telesat is headquartered in Canada, it's predominantly owned by US shareholders. So, when we talk about supporting Canadian companies, let's not forget where the real profits are heading.
3. **Innovation from Scratch**: Elon pointed out that Starlink's technology had to be invented from scratch because it didn't exist. This isn't just about providing internet; it's about pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
4. **Ethics Committee Investigation**: Given these points, isn't it clear there's a conflict of interest? The government's favoritism towards Telesat, despite Starlink's proven capabilities and cost efficiency, screams for an ethics committee investigation.
This isn't just about internet service; it's about recognizing innovation, national identity, and where our tax dollars should truly go. Let's call for transparency and fairness in this deal.
