AI oligarchs have stolen the creative work of millions of people — writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists and ordinary citizens.

It’s time for us to reclaim it.

An Ohio fire department is warning that AI data centers are quickly becoming a full-time job for first responders.

In Jerome Township, northwest of Columbus, emergency crews have been called to two Amazon data centers a staggering 84 times in just four years. Since the first facility opened in 2021, firefighters have responded to dozens of incidents, averaging about two calls per month.

Then came the major fire.

In April, a two-alarm blaze at one of the sites caused more than $50 million in damage and tied up emergency crews for over 24 hours.

Local officials aren’t just worried about the fires themselves. They’re concerned that precious emergency resources are being repeatedly diverted to these massive industrial complexes, all at taxpayer expense.

Data centers are sprouting up across America as tech companies scramble to build the massive infrastructure needed to power artificial intelligence. These facilities house thousands of servers that run nonstop, consuming vast amounts of electricity and generating intense heat that requires constant cooling.

While data center fires remain relatively rare, they can be exceptionally challenging to fight. The buildings are packed with electrical systems, battery backups, complex cooling infrastructure, and high-security zones that often hinder emergency access.

Ohio has emerged as one of the nation’s fastest-growing data center hubs, with more than 170 facilities already operating and many more under construction or in planning.

This growth mirrors a global explosion in hyperscale data centers, driven by the skyrocketing demand for AI computing power. Every response, AI image, or large language model ultimately relies on physical servers somewhere in the world.

While these facilities bring jobs and economic investment, many communities are feeling the strain, on power grids, water supplies, roads, and now, local emergency services.

Both our provincial and federal governments are misunderstanding how deeply passionate Torontonians (and many Ontarians) are about preserving the natural beauty of our waterfront cityscape.
And to do it for the benefit of an AMERICAN BANK? Outrageous.
Expect huge seat changes.

@RTNToronto For all those unimportant little people who lost their jobs…

NEW: The Ford government has confirmed Ontario will officially take control of the Don Valley Parkway and the Gardiner Expressway away from Toronto next year, completing an agreement that was first signed three years ago. #OnPoli #ToPoli

"The termination of employment form, which has been filed with the Ministry of Labour, is offering a more detailed picture of just how many jobs could be eliminated at the board,...
According to the document, 792 positions are set to be cut in the fall."

Melinda French Gates will expand her giving to improve women’s health globally, pledging another $215 million to support contraceptive access and maternal care, as well as initiatives aimed at middle-aged women, including further study of menopause. https://t.co/eG1616YmTc

New: Premier Ford said he believes Metrolinx is "doing a fine job" after @Thetrilliumca revealed that the agency self-investigates the vast majority of major safety violations on its tracks.

FACT; @BrianSaunderson tells @LGretzky to "sit down and shut her mouth" after her speech regarding women abuse in the workplace. That tells you everything about what @fordnation thinks about women.
Do you really think women get a fair shake in any workplace?

Was this acceptable, @SpeakerSkelly?

One of my biggest frustrations with my fellow Liberals is how they happily and deservedly rage at Doug Ford for his democratic transgressions but give a smiling pass to Mark Carney for the same or similar actions. Here's one we should all call out.

A point to mention to Ontarians as well is that every one of these photo op pressers he holds also coincides with an @OntarioPCParty fundraiser opportunity!
Therefore the taxpayers are fronting his costs to campaign, just like his ads! 😡

AI data centers will use up enough clean water for 1.3 billion people by the year 2030 according to a United Nations report.
We CAN live without data centers, we CAN'T live without clean water.

Pope Leo XIV has issued a manifesto calling for robust regulation of artificial intelligence. His first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” has sparked widespread online reactions. Many young people appreciate his stance, seeing few leaders addressing AI's rapid rise.

Mar-a-Lago/Texas trips

Ford’s sudden Michigan trip for an honorary degree

U.S. Amb. Pete Hoekstra’s ties to a wealthy Michigan Republican-built voting app

That same app tied to AB’s separatist voter-list scandal

U of T , Queen's , Western , U of Waterloo, and lake head, all excellent higher education institutions, so why did a unknown university in Michigan give our 2 time dropout premier a fake degree? And we paid a minimum of 30,000. To fly his fat ass down there to get it !

[Mark Evans @markevans]

If there wasn't enough to worry about in Ontario, Bill 60 could see private companies take over water operations.

It means there will be more focus on profits & shareholder value than on serving the public.

Why are the PCs so intent on change for the sake of change?
