People don’t want loud, polluting water guzzlers that benefit US techbros and do little to enrich Canada.
We have lots of crown land that could host our own sovereign data centers. And we could power and cool them with air and hydroelectricity instead of methane and local water supplies.
Ask again to see if people want Canadia-controlled cloud storage and no AI training b.s and you would get a much different response.
Yeah but Canadian Liberals gov is hell bent on sucking American Tech corpo’s dicks
