One thing AI does not do, is make money.
AI is the money-losingest thing the human race have ever done.

Once they pepper the landscape with AI Data Centers Albertans will only have oil to drink
and radioactive frac waste juice
@nigelb.bsky.social:
A very late press release.
Is the UCP rattled?
Four ‘commitments’Which are useless when made by liar Smith and her lying UCP; the shits lie too much, and betray us to the Pedo Trump Regime serving oil, gas, and Nazi AI
(1) Albertans will not pay for these projects,Pfffffft! I don’t believe you Nazi Smith! Carney’s already making us pay by taking money meant for Public Health, agriculture, climate change mitigation and research, wildfire fighting, services for abused women, etc, and giving it to fucking kid and women abusing American AI companies. FFS, get a fucking grip on your evil and corrupt cruelty.
(2) the grid comes first, Liar! If that were true, you would not have killed billions of dollars in investments in solar and wind energy. AI will torch our grid, the frac’ing for it will contaminate communities, air, and drinkig water with masses of mystery chemicals, and you fucking know it, and you fucking don’t care because people suffering are more likely to vote Nazi Con
(3) water use is tightly controlledHa Ha Ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liar! You were in Alberta when Encana/Ovintiv illegally diverted 8,000 litres a day (without the required permit) of drinking water from Rosebud aquifers the company illegally frac’d, contaminating them. The only “control” and “regulation” by the Alberta gov’t, AER and Alberta Environment was to abuse and endlessly lie to the families with water post frac’ing too dangerous to have connected to their homes. Smith, you interviewed me about Encana’s illegal fracs and my contaminated water on your stupid propaganda radio show – with an Encana VP. All your “talk” and questions were intended to make Encana look innocent and saintly, and to try to trip me up, make me look stupid. You failed.
(4) Albertans share in the financial upside …”There is no upside to child and women abusing AI, not even financial except for the tech bros selling their CSAM tools to the masses of shit pedophiles and horrid raping men, many of them cons, out there.
Energy prices? Zip
@mgrasdal.bsky.social:
No mention of climate. These data centres will burn massive amounts of fossil fuel. Furthermore, the government’s own policies discourage the use of renewable energy to supply power to these huge sources of waste heat and noise.
@mgrasdal.bsky.social:
Just as infuriating is the fact that to qualify for the temporary 1.6 GW allocation, data centres must commit to using natural gas for power generation. Renewable sources of electricity and battery storage are excluded.
The UCP cares only about O&Gand Russia, America, Nazis especially the orange painted kid rapist, and billionaires, including kid abusing Zuckerberg, kid abusing Musk, and wanna be water raping Ozzie Gina Rinehart, not voters.
Although the focus is on Meta’s AI data centre, the bigger story might be that Alberta is planning to allocate an additional 1.6 GW from the grid to data centres…temporarily.
And the regulator admitted that it’s going to raise everyone’s costs for electricity.
Facebook needs 1GW of power as soon as possible…AESO is freeing up 1.6GW to data centres that have plans to build their own generation…Just sayin’.
Temporary Grid Power for Data Centres Will Raise Electricity Bills, Alberta Regulator Admits
Demand for natural gas will raise prices, and experts are warning about the impacts of large load data centres on the grid. Read more in my latest for The Energy Mix.
Temporary Grid Power for Data Centres Will Raise Electricity Bills, Alberta Regulator Admits
The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) plans to temporarily more than double the power it had allocated to new, large data centres on the provincial electricity grid, even though it acknowledges
And in Facebook-related news: Officials in Wyoming said a contractor for Mark Zuckerberg’s tech company, Meta, flushed bacteria-contaminated water into public sewers during construction of a controversial new AI datacenter.
Wyoming tightens wastewater rules after Meta datacenter contractor flushed contaminated water
Meta said it was working with officials to be a ‘good neighbor’ and drinking water supplies were not affected yet
Ione Foster @ionef.bsky.social:
He is the face of evil….UCP, Smith especially LOVE evil, especially if it’s rich evil like Trump who is demanding all this fucking evil AI everywhere, in Canada too, which is why Carney is bending over backwards giving evil AI fuckers everything they want, and giving them our tax dollars when they are fucking billionaires — all to make the super polluting law violating health and climate harming oil and gas industry rich richer, because of using frac’d gas for electricity, which Nazi Carney has publicly admitted.
@albertapitbull.bsky.social:
We should all be ready to show up and make the good trouble that is required to make it clear the the the #UCP gig is up.
I don’t believe their BS.

@mondoab.bsky.social:
We know it’s bullshit.
UCP lies.
Saw Rob Anderson’s likes about tens of thousands of jobs and billions in investment. Could be billion, but won’t stop them from privatizing health care. Citizens will get zero benefit, in fact, negative effects only.I’ve lived in Alberta 44 years; I’ve never seen any of the con gov’ts provide any positive effects for citizens. They only serve the rich, preferably American Repuglican or those loving the Repuglicans like Gina Rinehart rich. Worse, Alberta govts take from ordinary families to give to fucking billionaires, most of them foreign.
@dculp.bsky.social:
I agree.
@daraddishman.bsky.social:
Hmm. Where have we seen this kind of stuff before… Oh, right. Education. Healthcare. Sovereignty. Coal. Parks…
What was that Einstein quote about insanity again?
@scribblersemporium.bsky.social:
Elected ministers stumping for private businesses. Again.
@dabxdee.bsky.social:
Data centers will only expedite the depletion of your water supply. The water wars are coming.
Your tax dollars hard at work… Just not for you.

LYRICS:
What are we gonna do about the price of eggs?
I’ve got a plan that has some legs!
I’m gonna write a letter to my congressman.
A strongly-worded letter to him!
What are we gonna do about the rising seas?
The flooding and the fires and the poor little bees?

Leading AI Development IrResponsibly Propaganda and Lies by Separatist UCP, Aug 6, 2026
Alberta’s government has launched an online information hub and a series of town halls to provide comprehensive information bullshit on AI data centre development.
On this page:
- How to have your saybut rest assured, we don’t give a damn about your health concerns, or the fucking AI noise and child abuse and pollution and PFAS and water guzzling and contamination with PFAS, heavy metals and biocides, or the fact that for SURE energy prices (gas, electricity) and water costs for ordinary Albertans will sky rocket soon after the first AI data centre invades and starts lying to the world, spewing out more than 50% errors, urging kids and adults to commit suicide, go on shooting sprees, mass surveillance to kill our privacy and peace, and more cruel evil shit that no one in the world needs.
- Quick Lies and Long Slow Lies

As global demand for AI computing continues to growJFC! big fat rude lie. AI demand is not growing; its creepy fucked up billionaires lying about it, forcing the race and bubble, and corrupt politicos like UCP, Smith and Carney are forcing it on us all even though most of us (that don’t sexually abuse kids and women) refuse it. The tech bros have created a massive AI bubble, which is soon to pop, Alberta’s competitive tax environmentya, letting mega money profiting oil and gas companies, most of them American, not pay their taxes or rent to landowners, with happy corrupt assistance from AER, UCP, and the super corrupt Surface Rights JackAss Board, abundant natural gaswhich must be frac’d, permanently removing vital water from the hydrogeological cycle while fossil fuel pollution is killing life on earth, causing global warming which is accelerating, drying continents and insanely powerful devastating forest and community fires burning down entire towns. Frac’d gas is the most insane and irresponsible energy for fucking stupid stolen abusing unwanted useless AI that can’t even turn a profit and skilled workforce position the province as a premier destination in North America for private Nazi Americandata centre investmentwhich the fucking Trump Pedo Nazis will use for mass surveillance of ordinary Alberta families, and send that surveillance data to most evil corp on earth, Palantir. By establishing clear rules, environmental requirements and grid-protection policies ahead of developmentwhich UCP, AESO, AER will for sure let AI companies ignore as soon as the Nazi AI fuckers start building and operating, Alberta is ensuring that major private American abuses investments in AI data centres deliver substantial huge benefits for ICE, the Nazi Trump Regime, Putin, the kid and woman abusing AI fuckers and no benefits for Albertans and protect rape and or destroy (PFAS contamination in drinking water is not fixable) the things that matter: power bills, water, land, the environment and communities.
The lies go on and on. Alberta gov’ts have never given a shit about power bills, water, land, the environment and communities, except for Lougheed and his coal policy which UCP fucking destroyed to intentionally contaminate the drinking water for millions, by a fucking Australian billionaire to rape out more fucking money.
Alberta’s approach to AI data centres rests on four commitments: Albertans will not pay for these projects, the grid comes first, water use is tightly controlled and Albertans share in the financial upside through municipal tax revenues, royalties and a data centre computing equipment levy.
Commitments are not enforceable. They are a waste of words when spewed by UCP, and a triple waste of words when spewed by liar Smith
“Albertans deserve real answers on what these new infrastructure investments mean for them. This website puts the
factsour own
The new website explains what data centres are, why they are being built here, the opportunities they create, how Alberta’s approach differs from other jurisdictions and the safeguards that protect Alberta’s electricity system, water resources, communities and taxpayers. Each answer links to public sources so people can review the information directly.
How to have your say
Albertans have opportunities to provide input. The website explains how residents can participate in municipal discussions, provide input to regulators, and file a statement of concern. Albertans are invited to attend the following town halls on AI data centres in the province:
| Event | Host | Date | Time | Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ponoka Town Hall | Minister Nate Glubish | Aug. 19 | 6 – 7:30 p.m. | In-person |
| Sturgeon County Town Hall | Minister Nate Glubish | Aug. 20 | 6 – 7:30 p.m. | In-person |
| Virtual Town Hall | Premier Danielle Smith and Minister Nate Glubish | Aug. 27 | 6 – 7:00 p.m. | Virtual |
| Grande Prairie Town Hall | Minister Nate Glubish | Sept. 11 | 6 – 7:30 p.m. | In-person |

Quick facts
- The AI economy is expected to contribute up to US$15.7 trillion to the global economy by the 2030s.
- Alberta’s data centre strategy has already attracted approximately $100 to $200 billion in potential private investment.
