🇨🇦 One gigawatt for Meta, vague answers for Albertans

A one-gigawatt AI data centre the size of nearly 270,000 square metres gets rolled into Sturgeon County, powered by natural gas, and locals are still begging for basic safeguards. That is the real story reported. The pitch is always the same: trust the experts, trust the process, trust the corporate-state blob that never lives next to the infrastructure it approves.

Meta gets the juice, the land footprint, the political fast-tracking and the usual futuristic PR fog about innovation. Albertans get town halls and bureaucratic throat-clearing. Funny how Ottawa and its provincial managerial class can micromanage your furnace, your truck and your speech, but when a tech giant wants a private power empire, suddenly specifics are hard. This is the globalist model in miniature: Canada as a resource colony for multinational platforms, sovereignty traded for server farms, and citizens treated like an annoying postscript to elite techno-dreams.
