Show notes
Why are so many data centers being proposed across Canada and what do local communities get in return? Rhys Waters and Jesse Harley dig into the debate over data centers, AI’s growing demand for electricity, and the controversy surrounding a proposed project in Nova Scotia.
They discuss why Canada is attractive to data center developers, concerns about power and water use, the limited number of permanent jobs, and whether companies should contribute more to the communities where they build. They also talk about local resistance movements, the promise and risks of AI, and what listeners can do to make their views heard.
