      SLAPP lawsuits aren’t particularly effective against governments. There’s nothing much to fear when you can just change the laws if things don’t go your way. And even Musk isn’t going to out spend the province of Ontario.

        Of course, but that doesn’t stop Musk from trying to use his typical sabre rattling methods.
