AI needs massive data centers to operate. And Canada just became the most attractive place in the world to build them.

Here's why that should concern every Canadian.

AI data centers consume 5 to 100 times more energy than traditional data centers. A single rack can draw enough power to run dozens of suburban homes simultaneously. The largest facilities being built today require their own dedicated power plants.

So why Canada?

• Alberta's natural gas is 40 to 50% cheaper than in the US because it's essentially trapped locally

• Canadian winters eliminate up to 50% of cooling costs — the freezing air does the work for free

• Tech giants can bypass public grid fees entirely with Alberta's Bring Your Own Power program

• American companies get even more value because their dollar goes further in Canada

America is running out of power. So Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Meta are bringing their AI infrastructure here instead.

And Kevin O'Leary is already spearheading Wonder Valley — billed as the world's largest AI data center industrial park — a 70 billion dollar, 9 gigawatt facility in northern Alberta that was just exempted from provincial environmental review.

Nobody asked Canadians if they were okay with this.
