The article is about how Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, said that the Canadian government wants to have its own system for providing internet connectivity in the country.

Elon Musk announced on Twitter that the Canadian government wants its own system for satellite internet. Despite Musk's offer to fund Starlink for less than half the amount, Telesat, an Ottawa-based satellite operator, will receive a $1.58 billion loan from the Canadian government to build its broadband satellite constellation. Musk and others see this as a common-sense solution for Canada due to the lower cost of Starlink. However, Canada's Minister of Industry, François-Philippe Champagne, slammed the exchange between Musk and Barrett, calling the loan support for Canadian industry and workers.
Neutral
The article is discussing the Canadian government's funding of a rival satellite internet service to Starlink, despite Elon Musk's offer to provide the service for less than half the amount. There is a back-and-forth on social media between Musk and the Canadian Minister of Industry regarding the matter, with the minister seemingly favoring the local industry over Musk's Starlink service. However, the sentiment of the article is neutral, as it neither praises nor criticizes any of the parties involved or their actions.
