🇨🇦 Bell's $12B AI Data Centre Gets Rammed Through by Appointed Council After Elected Officials Mysteriously Resign

Notice the sequence: the entire RM of Sherwood council abruptly resigns in March, the province appoints replacements, and now that hand-picked council is rushing to approve Bell Canada's massive AI data centre before November elections. No public consultation allowed. Residents can't even register to speak. A 300MW power-draining facility that will create exactly 80 permanent jobs after construction wraps is being sold as economic salvation. Meanwhile, Bell promises $12 billion in benefits while the province inflates job numbers by a factor of twenty to manufacture consent.

This is how sovereignty gets auctioned off. Unelected bureaucrats greenlight foreign corporate infrastructure before the public can ask basic questions about water use, grid load, or who actually benefits. Nearly 200 people protested at the legislature because they understand what's happening: their community is being turned into server farm real estate without their input.
