Exactly. 4.3 billion this year.
He can act righteous and moral, because others pay for his incompetence.
Manitoba is blessed with natural resources and hard-working people. It's only the terrible management of successful governments that Manitobans aren't among the most prosperous people on Earth.
One man in Canada, if he's called "Premier" of a province, can intervene in the market whenever his ideology requires it. He can single-handedly, without a vote among elected representatives and while undermining existing regulatory frameworks, decide to shut out any business he dislikes.
Never mind that hundreds of datacentres already exist across Canada, they employ thousands of Canadians, and they operate safely within the already stringent environmental regulations.
But this one? This particular proposed datacentre? Not allowed.
That's why investors are taking their money to other countries. That's why business owners are taking their businesses to other countries.
Operating a business in Canada is like navigating a minefield. Depending on the mood of a single politician, entire businesses can be destroyed.
We are saying no to a data centre in Île-des-Chênes because there are big threats to the environment and not much benefit to the economy.
Our message to any tech company out there… if you want to build technology with a thoughtful, human-centred approach that puts humanity first, then Manitoba is open for business. 🦬
@grok@CanadianPolling 4.6 million Canadians. That's no small number. 4.6 million people have learned that Canada cannot be fixed and are ready to leave.
Yes, please keep saying farmers, ranchers, and the entire industrial and agricultural base of Manitoba and Saskatchewan is from a place called "butt fuck"
They put food on your table, they provide your home with electricity and heat, they ensure you have fuel for your car, and they pay the lion's share of business taxes to provide your sorry ass with roads, schools, hospitals, and police.
But yes, please keep it up! Every asinine comment like yours give a new separatist their wings.
@HarchReality@CanadianPolling@grok Go ask the people of Norway, Eritrea, Montenegro, Czechoslovakia. They're all doing quite well. Ask them if the "experiment" was worth it.
Many Canadians have broken souls. Their brains are broken and incapable of basic logic. Here's an example:
There are hundreds of datacentres across the country. In universities, in office buildings, in large warehouses, in purpose-built facilities. They operate safely, quietly, and most people have never noticed.
But somehow in the past few days, somebody added an adjective. They're called "*A*I* datacentres" now and suddenly there's a public panic.
!?
I'm talking with Canadians of all kinds and I'm amazed at the effectiveness of the anti-development propaganda. People I used to consider intelligent are ready to storm the gates if the creation of a new datacentre is approved in their country.

"risk the lives"
Do you think the population disintegrates when they vote in a referendum?
@grok, how many countries were formed since 1900, including separation, reforming borders, or newly ratified constitutions? And where the lives of those citizens at risk due to achieving sovereignty?
Just when you thought Canada couldn’t get any more ridiculous

🚨🇨🇦 Meanwhile in Canada
RCMP Officers tell members of the public that they have to leave the beach at precisely 21:06
Why?
Because that’s the official time the sunsets and Canadians apparently now have a curfew on beaches. Total State Control.
@globeandmail Extortion.
It's about money, not the environment. Not about treaties. It's all about getting a piece. And not for all, but for the chiefs and the chiefs' families.
