@Tablesalt13 Yeah, cause it’s pretty fucking ridiculous

Learn more about the new Meta AI Data Centre👇

💧 Water smart: The facility will use dry cooling technology, requiring very little water. In fact, the average Alberta golf course uses more water.

⚡️ New Power Plant: Meta is building new electricity generation to support the facility, improving our grid, and bringing down electricity bills for families

👷🏽‍♂️ Jobs for Albertans: 3,000 workers will help build the facility, with 300 permanent jobs once it is complete.

🚙 Building local infrastructure: Meta is investing approximately $60 million will be invested into roads, water systems, and other local infrastructure upgrades.

💰 A historic investment: Meta is investing $13 billion to build this data centre, one of the largest private sector investments in Canadian history, generating more than $250 million annually in benefits for Albertans, including through royalties, taxes, levies, and fees.

One of the largest private sector investments in Canadian history is coming home to Alberta.

@Meta has chosen Alberta for its first Canadian AI data centre, a historic $13 billion investment that will create thousands of jobs, strengthen our economy, and help position our province as a global leader in artificial intelligence and technology.

This project will support 3,000 construction jobs, 300 permanent positions, generate an estimated $250 million in annual benefits for Albertans, and invest $60 million into local roads, water, and community infrastructure.

Meta is fully funding new generation and grid infrastructure to support the data centre, which will improve reliability across the entire Alberta grid benefiting electricity customers across the province by reducing transmission costs by up to six per cent on Albertans’ utility bills.

We are proud to welcome Meta to and thank them for their confidence in our province, our economy, and most importantly, our people. Alberta has the energy, talent, and ambition to power the next generation of innovation.

It's not a "tanker ban." It's an NDP economic blockade.

Foreign ships still sail freely along B.C.'s northern coast.

The only thing being blocked is our prosperity, while doing absolutely nothing to protect the environment.

@ABDanielleSmith @MikeEllisUCP Please, keep expanding the Sheriffs. Bigger, faster, more power. These boys were raised in our communities. They share OUR values. That’s who we NEED enforcing law and order.

@sheshem Even if true, it does incentivize one to contribute to society rather than just consume, does it not? Get a job. Pull up the old boot straps and stop relying on someone else to solve your problems for you.

@CheriDiNovo Save the charade, just say the dollar amount.

@CTVNationalNews Fuck off

@MarkJCarney Alternatively, be a tentative parent. 🤯

Scott Moe, we in Saskatchewan want a road to a binding referendum.

@MarkJCarney @liberal_party I wish YOU were accountable to Canadians 😞

This is the kind of decisive response to a recession that only a master economist and crisis manager could give.

[Chris @reider84_]

This is some genuinely astonishing incompetence.

[govt.exe is corrupt @govt_corrupt]

Liberals have been in power for over 10y, spent more than $4 trillion, & expanded the public sector by 40%.

Housing & food prices more than doubled while the economy stagnated.

This isn't a technical recession. It’s an inflationary recession, and the liberals are 100% to blame.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Dans le manifeste "techno-optimiste" de Marc Andreessen, il y a une phrase qui m'a marqué :

"Our enemies are not bad people – but rather bad ideas."

Nos ennemis ne sont pas des mauvaises personnes. Ce sont des mauvaises idées.

Prenons Jancovici. L'homme est brillant, sincère, travailleur. Il ne se lève pas le matin en se disant qu'il va nuire à l'humanité. Mais l'idée qu'il porte la décroissance, le rationnement, la frugalité érigée en horizon civilisationnel est une idée profondément destructrice. Elle prend des esprits brillants et les transforme en commissaires politiques d'un futur appauvri.

Et le plus fascinant, c'est ce que cette idée fait aux gens qui l'adoptent.

Dans mon entourage, une grosse partie de mes amis est sur cette ligne décroissantiste, avec tout le package qui va avec. L'argent c'est mal mais ils en veulent. Il faut moins prendre l'avion mais ils rêvent de voyager partout. Il faut consommer moins mais ils ne renoncent à rien de ce qu'ils aiment vraiment.

Et tous ont un point commun : ils sont déprimés. L'un d'eux m'a même confié qu'il était sous antidépresseurs.

Ce n'est pas un hasard. C'est mécanique.

Quand tu crois que ton désir de vivre, de créer, de t'élever est moralement suspect tu te détruis de l'intérieur. Tu passes ta vie à t'excuser d'exister. Tu vis dans la dissonance permanente entre ce que ton corps veut (plus, mieux, plus loin) et ce que ton idéologie t'ordonne (moins, sobre, immobile).

D'où ma théorie :

Quand on pense quelque chose de fondamentalement faux décroissance, communisme, extrémisme religieux (de tout ordre) ce n'est qu'une question de temps avant que ça devienne vraiment destructeur.

D'abord pour soi. Puis pour les autres.

Les mauvaises idées tuent. Lentement chez ceux qui y croient, brutalement chez ceux qui les subissent.

C'est pour ça que la bataille des idées n'est pas un luxe d'intellectuel. C'est la bataille la plus importante de notre époque.

The leading source of disinformation is the government (obviously).

And when the government is the leading source of revenue for the media, that media repeats government disinformation.

Whether it's about Covid, global warming or the Kamloops hoax.

@valdombre lol, fuck off. Google uniform. Uniformity, or even just uni and add what ever word you’d like after.
