🎯 That's what's not being communicated. The "we're creating jobs" (in construction) is spun to sound good for Canadians who aren't paying attention (no offense to those in construction).

Much of the water is from B.C.

That aside, there is a race for data centres given the influence that info/data/AI will yield. The question, though, at what cost?

@hub

Diverting the water given the current and near-future water security issues is a huge cost. Significant issue.

The value that those in power are looking at is not in the people building the data centres. It's in the data/info/AI that those centres wield -- 🇨🇦 info/data security important, but also potential international influence.

Not saying that this is a good plan, nor that it's a black & white issue with a black & white answer/solution.

What's alarming are the "powers that be" and those who stand to gain financially from this -- at the cost of daily living & health for British Columbians and Canadians.
