SpaceX/Starlink has a nationwide license/permission from the Canadian federal government for direct to consumer LEO satellite services so it's very unlikely they would remove this as a service option.
Starlink has been revolutionary for people in some very remote part of Canada whose previous ONLY option was consumer grade geostationary Ku/Ka-band VSAT terminals at oversubscriptions ratios of 32:1 or worse. Xplornet, etc. Same tech as viasat/wildblue/hughesnet consumer stuff in USA.
