Nearly 200 people gathered at the provincial legislature in Regina Saturday to protest Bell Canada’s planned AI data centre and the lack of community consultation for the project.
“If this is truly a wonderful opportunity for our area, then there’s nothing to lose by slowing things down,” said Regina Ward 8 Coun. Shanon Zachidniak.
Zachidniak said she attended the rally because it was her opportunity to share her concerns around the planned 300MW facility on the outskirts of Regina, in the rural municipality of Sherwood.
The development agreement for the project, which is set to be Canada’s largest AI data centre, will be considered by the RM of Sherwood’s seven-member council on Monday.
Regina mentioned ‼️ I was there at the protests! Was a lot of energy there, I think they basically ran out of petition papers for people to sign. Not a surprise though, the whole process for the data centre getting approved is blatantly and nakedly corrupt.
Daily reminder: fuck the Sask party, Scott Moe murdered someone and is a drunk driver.
(edit: we don’t know that he was drunk right when he killed Joanne Balog.)
Those are two separate incidents.

Fair correction to make. But in my opinion, that doesn’t make it better that he’s had multiple incidents.
You’re right, it doesn’t make it better. It simply gets the facts straight.
