    Look, we do need data centres in Canada. I’m tried of only being able to rent servers in the US or Europe. We have a couple, but not enough to meet the demand needed to drop Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.

    However, this is a stupid choice. There are a fuckton of places in Canada with abundant resources/water, lowish population density, and educated people. Pick one of those.

        I think NIMBYism is ok in some situations. I don’t want an airport in my backyard, or a coal powerplant.

        Personally I don’t care if there is a DC near me, but I fully support people’s right to not want it.
