> Ontario has a choice: we can build the economy of the future and ensure Canadians’ data remains in Canada, or we can get left behind and risk Canadians’ data being sent to the U.S. and elsewhere
Or we could do neither, and be glad we didn't subsidize empty buildings 5 years from now.
Don't worry, they'll figure out how to steal maximum money, datacenters or no datacenters.
A thunderstorm happened few days ago in the capital left many neighborhoods without power (I think some till now), instead of trying to find a justification to further inflate the prices of realestate, how about investing this money on improving the electricity grid and bury these wires/sub/transformers underground, or the healthcare, or order more MRI maybe so people don’t wait 8 months for a scan, or maybe (wishful maybe) relax the regulation on building houses aka shelters for people rather than relaxing those and making a playbook for another greedy projects, or worse, another way to milk contracts money that funnel back to the same few big companies.
