Hello,

The Canadian province of Quebec wants to subsidise 
Starlink-subscriptions for 10,200 hard to reach homes. The subsidy, 
apparently, is not ongoing, but a one-off for purchasing the hardware.

In four Manitoba communities, federal money will provide a subsidy of 
CAD 900 each for 1,162 households. That covers the device plus tax, but 
not Starlink's delivery fee or any cost of installation.
