I agree, 20% is a lot. That’s why the issues raised by the separatist side need to be addressed, and not just dismissed. Justin Trudeau wouldn’t give Alberta the time of day. Hopefully, Carney will be better.

I’ll wait for the official announcement, but looks to me like this fund will financed with debt. So another $25B on top of the $75B already.

There’s a statement based on nothing.

You do something that creates a return on investment.

Are you disagreeing with municipal bylaws? They seem reasonable to me.

Read the story in your newspaper then.

I can guarantee you data centers like this aren’t built for dummies on the internet. They are used to increase professionals productivity, not write emails or wedding speeches.

You won’t say what they are, so being deliberately obtuse is telling.

I agree with all that. I haven’t been paying too much attention. Has separatist feeling been increasing? My feeling (based on nothing) was that it was static around 20%.

From the story:

The property must connect to the City of Regina’s water main for “essential” potable water to meet fire safety regulations. The cooling system for the centre’s databanks will otherwise be a closed-loop system, filled separately, according to the report.

Some background info:

Bell’s report states the company plans to use an “independent” servicing strategy to ensure the data centre “remains self-sufficient and poses zero risk or cost” to municipal infrastructure or neighbouring landowners. Article content Wastewater is to be managed privately while Bell also plans to build its own on-site power substation, natural gas plant and “renewable energy system,” though no further details were provided.

Ah, so policies you don’t agree with then.

I don’t know what that means. Define conservative.

Are you asking which provinces are liberal, or are you asking which provinces are communist?

If that’s true, why is our dollar so weak with oil at $130+?

Youth (15-29) unemployment rates have skyrocketed.

“Beginning in 2023, slowing growth in labour demand and rapid population growth contributed to declining employment rates, and unemployment started to trend up, particularly for youth. For youth aged 15 to 29 years, the employment rate declined by 2.7 percentage points from March 2023 to March 2024, to 62.9%. While their participation rate remained relatively steady, their unemployment rate increased by 2.9 percentage points to 10.9% over this time.”

I’m also the only one that actually bothered to include my source. There’s always multiple ways to compare. I would say both Canada and USA have a debt problem. Freeland resigned because the budget came in with a $50+BILLION dollar deficit, Carney’s last number was over $70B. (I didn’t look it up, the numbers may be a bit off)

Whether you agree with this or not, considering it’s already in place in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and Quebec there is no way the Lieutenant Governor would refuse to sign the bill.

If you lookup debt as a percentage of gdp

USA - 88.454%

Canada - 136%

If you compare debt by capita:

USA - $75.8K per person

Canada - $76.4K per person

I’m using numbers from here:

Which source is telling you USA debt is 30 times greater?

Why on earth would this stress you out?
