It’s time to build affordable homes, a national network of public grocery stores, electric buses and an east-west clean energy grid. Not massive corporate AI data centres unleashed without any democratic debate.
There's also no real data sovereignty in an AI ecosystem dominated by U.S. tech giants. Telus may be Canadian-owned, but it has already transferred 14 petabytes of Canadian data onto Google Cloud as part of its AI strategy.
This is a technology that will bring sweeping changes at a scale and speed never seen before. Canadians deserve real oversight and a robust regulatory framework before we rush ahead.
That’s why we’re calling for an immediate pause on the construction of any new AI data centres until strong federal guardrails are in place.We can’t sit back and let Big Tech billionaires decide our future for us.
Plan unveiled for 'sovereign AI data centre' cluster in Kamloops, Vancouver | CBC News
Vancouver and Kamloops will be home to a new data centre cluster under a planned partnership announced by the federal government and Telus.

Boy, who hates Kamloops? First a stinky paper mill and now datacenter(s)?

Let's also not forget that Telus, the seemingly unrestricted from any anti-consumer laws security, "health", TV distribution outlet and sometimes ISP decided it was too hard to run Email servers and handed all of their customers email accounts over to Google.When one traces network paths from Telus BC to places in Ontario or Quebec, we can watch the network packets traverse over networks in the US to get there.
Telus doesn't have any interest in being Canadian aside from sucking up every last Canadian dollar they can.
