Opposition brewing as data centre capacity is set to explode across Canada by Anja Karadeglija The Canadian Press Jul 18, 2026
OTTAWA – Across Canada, plans are underway for a massive boom in construction of the huge new data centres
, being forced on communities in North America by fucking kid raping kid mass murdering Nazis, to make them $billions richer. AI data centres are not needed, not in the least. They are too toxic, too water polluting and devouring, and they grossly drive up water and energy prices for all ordinary people. And, are a waste, nothing AI produces humans need. They serve hate, racism, genocide, Nazism, lies, propaganda, and much abuse to women and kids needed for artificial intelligence technology. Humans need humans to stop burning fossil fuels, and to stop frac’ing and AI which take away water from others, including other species.
But opposition is also building as residents worry about how the facilities will affect their communities — and as the data centres themselves become a symbol of the anxieties swirling around AI.
“An AI data centre is like the physical avatar of AI. And so it’s just like concrete and steel, physical space of a technology that increasingly I think Canadians are worried is going to have a really disruptive impact on their lives,” said David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data.Idiot (or abuse enabler). We are not worried, we KNOW AI destroys lives and that data centres pollute and harm health, with the unbearable noise and massive ugliness alone enough to drive people mad. We do not want AI in our services (health, financial gov’t, recreation, education, etc.), or in our lives. AI lies, steals, is error-laden, stupid, stolen, ugly, hate-filled and hate-farming, racist, misogynistic, abusive, Nazi, and kills people, eagerly, which is why inhumane Carney and Smith are all in.
“The local concerns are tied to the resources that these data centres consume. So it’s about electricity, it’s about water, it’s about noise.”But, it’s mostly about the health harming pollution and child and woman sexual abuse, why not include the most important concerns?
The issue of data centres is percolating into the political debate from the local level to Ottawa.
Opponents of proposed facilities have made their voices heard from Vancouver to Olds, Alta., to Hamilton.
Olds residents have been rallying against a proposal for a 10-building campus with a total of 1.4 gigawatts of gas-fired power generation. In June, opponents held a protest in Vancouver to demonstrate against the opening of AI data centres. In Hamilton, a proposal to put a data centre campus on the harbourfront has sparked fierce pushback.
And those are just some of the communities on the front lines of efforts to vastly scale up data centre capacity in this country.
A government document prepared last year forcorrupt Hanky Panky for Carney federal Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon said Canada currently has about 337 megawatts of AI data centre capacity, and projects accounting for another 20 gigawatts-plus — or 20,000 megawatts — are “under planning or development.”Solomon and Carney are fucking insane money grubbers. AI is harmful slop, and worse, it’s harmful American Nazi slop.
Government spokespeople insist that’s not a projection of the capacity Canada expects to build and the total capacity will be much lower.
A recent paper by York University researchers identified slightly higher figures. It said that as of June 2026, Canada had 194 active facilities with a combined capacity of 1.6 GW, with another 213 projects with 22.2 GW of capacity in the planning stages.
The vast majority of those planned projects are to be built in Alberta. The paper notes while the province currently has only 3.3 per cent of Canada’s active capacity, it accounts for a whopping 92 per cent of planned capacity.Where will Albertans live? Nowhere safe; Albertans will lose their already frac’d and sour gassed minds.
Lyndsey Rolheiser, an urban economist and assistant professor at the Schulich School of Business at York University, co-authored the research. She said Alberta is on the leading edge of planned new builds because it offers data centres the copious energy sources they need.for free? are Albertans going to be robbed by Smith, to give to the fucking Nazi billionaires?
“In Alberta, the quickest energy source is natural gas. And because of the deregulated market, it makes it very easy for these developments to self-generate on site,” she said.
Data centres aren’t new but the types of facilities being planned now are different from what Canadians may be used to, Rolheiser said.
The new hyperscale data centres that will be used largely for AI mass surveillance and sexually abusing women and kidsare much larger than previous versions and tend to be located in rural areas.
Anne Pasek, associate professor and Canada Research Chair in media, culture and the environment at Trent University, said as the scale of the projects has increased, so has the media attention and public scrutiny they attract.nope. it’s not the scale, it’s the fucking Nazi abuses of American AI. AI creators are some of the worst humans on earth, followed by Trump and his kid raping KKKlan, then, Carney. Canadians opposed, are not stupid.
“What to me in the longer history of my research has been a kind of somewhat boring, somewhat difficult to make charismatic topic of the data centre has kind of been attached to the stranger-danger of AI today,” Pasek said.WTF is that supposed to mean? Insult those of us who know AI is bad, AI creators are monsters, and that we don’t want it, and do not want to be abused by it in our communities? JFC!
Proposals to build massive new data centres have become a focus for the public’s fears about AI stealing jobs, AI models being trained through the unauthorizedstolen use of data, and AI being used for scams and sexual abuse, she said.phew, you got some of it right.
“Saying no to a data centre is a way of saying no to AI as a broad category of technology, and often the only way people sometimes can in their lives,” Pasek said.What fucking bullshit is this? Protecting their jobs and careers, not protecting the people. JFC. I do not use AI. I set my systems up to not have AI in my searches. I avoid all services, people and shops/businesses that use AI because it’s Nazi and cannot be trusted, in anyway. I haven’t yet said no to a data centre, but one is insanely planned for Rosebud’s race track. But, I for sure say no to AI and refuse to use it in every aspect of my life.
Those living in communities where data centres have been pitched worry about their effects on the environment and on public health through air and noise pollution, coupled with the stress they could place on water tables and the electricity supply, she said.
They also worry about an AI market bubble bursting and dragging their community down with it, Pasek added.The bubble is going to burst, but it’s not local communities that need to worry, it’s the fucking entire Nazi American economy that will go down and take Canada’s with it.
Blayne Haggart, a political-science professor at Brock University, said people see AI as a disruptive technology.
“This is kind of a way of protesting that because at the same time, too, you’ve got a government at the federal level that has … been going all in and very gung-ho on AI,” he said.That’s because Carney bends over, pants off, to the American Nazis, and does what they tell him to do. With AI, Carney is giving us, our communities, water, air, land, energy, lives and health, to the fucking Americans, no bombs dropped. He has no courage and the more time goes by, the more stupid and inhumane I find him.
In its recent national AI strategy, the federal government said Canada is “uniquely positioned” to take the lead on building data centres in a responsible and sustainable way.It’s impossible to do AI data centres responsibly or sustainably, same as it’s impossible to decarbonize oil, another fav lie of liar Carney’s
“Canada will double the electricity grid, largely with clean power, hydro, nuclear and renewables, and leverage its cold climate to give itself a built-in cost advantage that competitors are spending billions to replicate artificially while minimizing carbon footprint and water usage,” the documentlies — AI in Alberta is being fueled by frac’d water destroying gas, the most filthy fuel on earth. Smith killed renewable power in Alberta! Nuclear is far too expensive and takes too many years. The AI bubble will bust long before on nuke is up and running. JFC, one knows how bad AI is just by listening to and reading the none stop ridiculous liessays.
A media statement provided by a spokesperson for Solomon said data centres are key to Canada’s digital sovereignty.Another fucking lie, the data centres are fucking American, are for mass surveillance, invading Canada to destroy us/make us the 51st, with Carney and Solomon eagerly assisting Trump’s Nazis.
“New projects must meet strong environmental standards, use energy and water responsibly, deliver tangible benefits to local communities and ensure taxpayers are not left bearing unreasonable costs for private development,” the statement said.JFC. Lie after lie after lie after lie. Carney told Smith she can do as she pleases for environmental assessments/regulation of AI. She immediately removed all assessments and regulations for AI.
It also said proposals to build data centres can raise legitimate concerns about issues like electricity and water use.
“Those concerns should but won’t be in Alberta, or Smith’ll run to Daddy Orange Man the kid raping idiot bully be addressed through municipal planning, provincial review and utility allocation processes, supported by early and transparent engagement with local communities,” JFC, Carney and Solomon know damn well that Alberta will ensure none of these responsible actions take place the statement said.
Federal NDP Leader Avi Lewis said the federal government is moving too fast to embrace the technology and he wants to see a national moratorium on new data centre builds.
“Across North America, governments and communities — from across the political spectrum — are beginning to recognize that we cannot rush into an unregulated experiment with AI without first putting the right guardrails in place to protect people,” Damn it Lewis, you know damned well AI cannot be done in any way to protect people. There are no possible guard rails. The entire goal of the tech billionaires is to harm people – that’s how they make their billions. Lewis said in an emailed statement.
The Conservatives recently saw some apparent disagreement in their ranks over a new hyperscale data centre Meta is proposing to build in Alberta.
“After eleven years of failing to build the energy infrastructure Canada needs, the government must explain whether this project is truly viable and who will ultimately own, control, and benefit from the infrastructure if it proceeds,” the party’s newly named AI critic Leslyn Lewis said in a social media post.
After longtime Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner chimed in to say the project was a “great investment,” Lewis said she welcomed Alberta’s success in attracting the project.
In an emailed statement, Lewis said the Liberals “should remove unnecessary barriers, allow projects to move forward, attract private capital, and help Canada compete in the global economy.”aka, massively deregulate to let AI rape and abuse and steal from Canadians, notably stupid Albertans
Haggart said while it’s the federal government that sets AI policy for the country, it’s local politicians responsible for zoning who feel most of the heat over data centre proposals.
He said it’s ironic that those at the federal level who are the biggest proponents of AI, like Prime Minister Mark Carney and Solomon, “are the ones who least have to answer for the things that are really upsetting local residents.”
Colette, the idiot, or Nazi AI enabler said he believes data centres could become a big political issue in the near future. He noted Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia are set to hold municipal elections this fall.
But Andrew Enns, Leger’s executive vice-president for Central Canada, said the results of a recent poll indicate Canadians are divided on the issue — which means it’s not necessarily a political “slam-dunk either way.”
Just under half, 46 per cent, told Leger building the facilities to back Canadian-based AI services would be a good thing, while 37 per cent said it would be a bad thing.“Canadian-based” AMERICAN AI, FFS.
Enns said while data centres have the potential to become a major political issue, it’s “still a little early yet to see how this will shake out in a political environment.”
The debate in the United States — which began earlier than the one in Canada — could be a harbinger.
On Wednesday, New York became the first state to order a moratorium on new large data centres. In Hamilton city councillors rejected a proposal for moratorium Thursday. Had it passed, Hamilton would have become the first city in Canada to implement a pause on data centres.Canadian politicians, other than Wab Kinew, are fucking cowards. They don’t have the pants to ban AI, or say no to Nazi Fucking Carney.
Colettothe idiot or AI enabler, or both said that as Canadians consume “media coming out of the United States, the debates in the U.S. are going to inform our thinking about this.”No! The debates will not affect Canadians, they might affect perhaps Carney and his evil fraudsters, and Smith who badly needs to be voted out onto her corrupt traitorous ass. The harmed American people and their stories will inform our thinking about American Fucking AI, and the bursting bubble. AI does not make money and there is only so much more money that ordinary Canadians can withstand being stolen from them by Carney.
“And so, I think right now opposition is more likely to increase than decrease because of the momentum that this issue has in that direction,” he said.Duh! Of course opposition will increase, the more communities get poisoned by the lies and pollution and driven insane by the noise, opposition will only grow. Not because of American media (most of which just lies like Trump Carney and Smith).
Pasek noted there can be a surprising bipartisan consensus on opposition to data centres.
“If you’re a libertarian, you think that there shouldn’t be this kind of imposition of government forces conspiring to subsidize electricity or something of that nature for a data centre,” she said.BULLSHIT! Danielle Smith, Alberta’s madly deregulating separatist super liar premier, is a fucking libertarian and shes giving the American AI douche fuckers whatever the hell they want to lure them in because forcing more frac’d gas (toxic) makes billions more dollars for her American oil and gas companies! JFC, this is a piece of shit article
“If you’re a hippie environmentalist like me, then you’re going to be quite hawkish on the question of the climate impact of these systems. There’s something in the buffet for everyone.”

EPA says power for data centers can sidestep pollution laws by Tim McLaughlin, July 27, 2026, Reuters
July 27 (Reuters) – Power sources providing electricity only to data centers and not the public grid may not be subject to federal pollution laws, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said on Monday.
The EPA said if the power plants are not supplying electricity to the grid then they would not be subject to the federal Clean Air Act’s Acid Rain Program, which has been key to the dramatic reduction of smog and soot pollution from industrial facilities.
“The EPA believes that, considering the plain text of these definitions, the Acid Rain Program does not apply to power generation facilities that are not connected in any way to the larger electricity grid,” EPA Assistant Administrator Aaron Szabo wrote in a July 16 letter.
The agency said its interpretation of federal pollution laws would speed the development of artificial intelligence infrastructure while reducing strain on regional electric grids.bullshit, strain on grids is already happening because of data centres, the last thing Americans need, is their faster development. It’s fucking greed bubble.
The EPA said its guidance clarifies that the Acid Rain Program does not apply to so-called “islanded” power generation facilities that operate separately from the broader grid. The agency said the interpretation would give developers greater flexibility in where and how quickly they can build new data centers, which are driving a surge in electricity demand across the United States.
The agency said its action supports President Donald Trump’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge, which was expanded last week and requires participating companies to build, procure or pay for all energy needed to power their facilities and associated infrastructure.Pfffft. I wouldn’t trust a fucking thing Trump promises or signs. He’s a fucking con man who violates contracts regularly.
Under the non-binding pledge, developers, utilities and state regulators are expected to bear the costs associated with new projects rather than passing them on to residential customers.
Pollution from Musk’s unpermitted xAI power project hits hardest in Black communities, Elon Musk’s xAI has installed far more gas turbines without federal permits at its Colossus 2 data center project in Tennessee than it has publicly acknowledged, and the pollution is hitting predominantly Black neighborhoods the hardest, a Reuters analysis found by Disha Raychaudhuri and Valerie Volcovici, July 14, 2026, Reuters
Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI has installed 59 frac’d natural gas turbines for its Colossus 2 data center project in Tennessee without securing federal clean air permits, according to communications between regulators and xAI representatives.
Potential emissions from the turbines are far beyond the threshold that would require a federal permit, and would be released near predominantly Black communities already estimated to be suffering disproportionately high rates of lung disease, according to a Reuters analysis based on government data and information in the correspondence with regulators.
The findings, which have not been previously reported, reflect how exploding electricity demand from AI data centers is driving companies to build off-grid power plants at a pace outstripping environmental oversight, with potentially big risks to public health.
The number of unpermitted turbines identified by Reuters is about double what xAI has publicly acknowledged. The company previously said it was running 27 unpermitted turbines for Colossus 2 as of January and has argued the permits are not required.
At least 57 of the 59 turbines are located in Mississippi, just over the state line from Tennessee where the data center is located.
The xAI turbines are among scores of off-grid power plants for data centers proposed or under construction around the country. Local authorities often fast-track approvals in just weeks or months, without the years of environmental studies and public hearings typically required for such power generation projects that connect to the grid, Reuters has reported.

Mississippi regulators in March issued a permit for permanent turbines for Colossus 2, allowing construction of 41 gas-fired turbines. The approval came three weeks after the state’s only public hearing on the project.
The xAI cluster of temporary turbines in Mississippi is already among the biggest off-grid data center power projects, according to Ben King, an analyst with think tank Rhodium Group, who reviewed the Reuters analysis.
“This looks to be an unprecedented level of behind-the-meter gas being installed in one place,” he said, referring to off-grid natural gas plants serving just one customer.

The communications reviewed by Reuters show xAI, now owned by trillionaire Musk’s SpaceX, has installed 57 off-grid turbines in Southaven, Mississippi, just across the state line from its Colossus 2 data center in Memphis, a facility supporting the Grok chatbot and other AI systems. The records show the company has also installed two other unpermitted turbines for the project on a different site. Reuters could not determine the location.
The communications, obtained through a Reuters public records request, included emails between Trinity Consultants, representing xAI and subsidiary MZX Tech, and the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ).
xAI did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
xAI’s turbines are part of a widening environmental justice battle over whether the AI boom is adding disproportionate pollution burdens to communities of color.
Civil rights groups including the NAACP and the Southern Environmental Law Center sued xAI in April to halt their operations, arguing the turbines produce emissions subject to the federal Clean Air Act and shouldn’t be operated without permits. They contend the turbines are polluting homes, schools and churches in historically Black communities.
“The scale of it is astonishing,” said Patrick Anderson, an attorney with the Southern Environmental Law Center. “This is an absolutely huge Clean Air Act violation that threatens public health.”
Securing a Clean Air Act permit would have exposed xAI’s project to extensive review and public comment, potentially taking years. Mississippi environmental regulators and xAI have argued in court filings that the turbines are exempt because they are “mobile” and intended to operate onsite for less than a year.I bet that’s a big fucking lie.
“MDEQ has determined that portable/temporary turbines do not require an air permit,” the agency said in a statement to Reuters.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said in January 2026 that even temporary turbines exceeding emissions thresholds must obtain permits. The agency, however, told Reuters it’s considering changes allowing “regulatory flexibilities” for portable units while continuing to not protect public health.
xAI, the MDEQ and the EPA did not answer questions from Reuters about pollution impacts on communities of color from power generation to serve data centers.
The U.S. Justice Department weighed in on the lawsuit in a June 15 filing, saying that restricting the turbines could threaten national security interests because xAI’s systems support U.S. military operations, including operations involving Iran.Fucking bullshit. Trump lost in Iran, the moment he began mass murdering Iranian kids serving Israel’s genocide. There are no fucking security concerns with fucking Nazi Musk’s AI data centres, there are however, massive concerns about the sleazy fucker’s Grok mass abusing women and kids for users, which of course the Pedo Trump regime will never investigate or shut down
The outcome of the lawsuit filed by civil rights groups could help define how environmental laws apply to the fast-growing AI sector, where companies are scrambling to bring power supplies online to support energy-intensive computing.
“This sets up scenarios where the government can create sacrifice zones and tell communities they have to breathe illegal air pollution,” said Mary Rock, a senior attorney for Earthjustice which is representing the NAACP and SELC.
This is a massive amount of turbines and an unfathomable amount of air pollution.
Southaven resident Shannon Samsa
The dispute echoes the findings of a 2022 study by researchers from UCLA and Columbia University and published in the Nature Energy journal that found that previously redlined communities – where banks historically discriminated against Black mortgage applicants – now face disproportionately high exposure to pollutants from fossil fuel facilities.
“Air pollution from these and other sources contributes to systemic racial disparities in chronic disease and ultimately shorter lives,” Lara Cushing, a UCLA public health professor who co-authored the study, told Reuters.Musk is a nasty racist. Does he choose his AI sites intentionally to kill persons of colour?
BIG EMISSIONS
The emails reviewed by Reuters included the manufacturer emissions profiles for 32 of the 59 turbines, including 30 at the Southaven site.
A Reuters analysis based on that information found that those 30 turbines alone could emit nearly 2,500 short tons of nitrogen oxide, 4,000 short tons of carbon monoxide and 22 short tons of formaldehyde annually, assuming they operate continuously at 80% of capacity. According to the EPA, gas turbines are typically operated at loads of 80% or more to achieve efficiency.
Nitrogen oxides contribute to smog and respiratory inflammation, according to the American Lung Association. Carbon monoxide deprives the body of oxygen, and formaldehyde is a carcinogen.
The xAI site’s potential emissions far exceed a Clean Air Act threshold that requires permitting for facilities capable of more than 100 short tons annually of pollutants such as nitrogen oxide.
“This is a massive amount of turbines and an unfathomable amount of air pollution,” Southaven resident Shannon Samsa said in an interview.
“It’s not a hypothetical,” she said, “that air pollution is bad for you.”
Director of the Safe and Sound Coalition, Shannon Samsa, poses for a portrait as xAI security drives past in Southaven, Mississippi, U.S., May 30, 2026. REUTERS/Kevin Wurm
The nitrogen oxide emissions calculated by Reuters for about half the plant’s turbines would put the facility “up there with some of the heaviest polluting natural gas power plants across the entire country,” said Nicholas Mailloux, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who studies air quality and health benefits of the clean-energy transition.
He said the facility would be on par with the top 25 U.S. gas plants for nitrogen oxide emissions, citing EPA data for actual emissions.
THE PEOPLE AFFECTED
In the Colonial Hills neighborhood of Southaven, the turbines serving Colossus 2 can be heard around the clock, often firing off noisy bursts that residents compare to jet engines.
Ervin Laws, a Colonial Hills resident in his 20s, said the noise wakes him up at night. “I can’t do anything about it, because he’s got more money than me,” he said, referring to Musk.
The turbines were installed in communities already estimated to be facing relatively high respiratory disease burdens, according to a Reuters analysis of CDC data.
In 27 of 28 census tracts within five miles of the site – spanning both Mississippi and Tennessee – the estimated asthma rates were higher than their respective countywide figures. In 24 tracts, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease rates were also higher.
Five miles is a distance commonly used in environmental health research to capture populations likely to be exposed to air pollution from a stationary source.
A separate Reuters analysis of Census Bureau data found that the residents living near the facility are disproportionately Black. Because the five-mile radius crosses state lines, Reuters compared each side against its own county baseline.
Within five miles of the facility in DeSoto county, Mississippi – where the turbines are located – about 46% of residents are Black, compared with 33% countywide, according to census data.

Across the state line in Tennessee, where residents have no say in Mississippi’s permitting process, about 94% of residents within five miles of the facility are Black, compared to 52% in surrounding Shelby County.
Jayajit Chakraborty, a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, said the Reuters analysis was consistent with research that shows communities of color face higher exposure to fossil fuel pollution.
Shelby County and portions of DeSoto County have also previously failed to meet federal ozone standards and remain subject to EPA-approved plans to ensure they do not slip back into violation, according to regulatory documents. Nitrogen oxide is a key precursor to ozone formation, which the EPA says can harm respiratory health.
“Given this community struggles with high asthma rates, additional NOx exposure at such high rates could exacerbate public health issues in a community that is already seeing more than its fair share of exposure to toxic air pollution,” said Victoria Nelson, an independent environmental engineer, formerly at EPA.
Sarah Gladney, 72, has watched the rapid expansion of xAI’s Memphis-area presence from her home in the historically Black neighborhood of Boxtown, a few miles from where the company built its Colossus 1 data center in 2024.
“Once they got their foot in the door in Memphis, I feel like it’s going to be a continuous movement of xAI into these other communities,” she said. “It’s all about the money, and it’s not about the health or wellness of the people that live in or near these communities.”
