We literally just want affordable rent and affordable groceries.

The federal government and Telus have announced plans for a large-scale AI data centre project in British Columbia they say will boost Canada's sovereign computing and artificial-intelligence infrastructure. cheknews.ca/telus-and-feds…

Couldn’t really ask for a more succinct portrayal of Canadian identity as nothing but corporate brands

Then stop building you dumb fuck
Mayor Ken Sim@KenSimCity
Vancouver renters are finally getting relief because we’re building more homes and removing the barriers that drive costs up. That’s not by accident; when you make it faster and easier to build, rents stop climbing and start coming down. See my full statement below:

So I’ve lived in Hillsboro, Oregon for 10 years. Drove around today and tonight and shot this myself. This is what the “Data Center Plains” looks like.👇 My town sits at the end of 6 transpacific sea cables connecting the US to Asia. That’s why 30+ data centers landed here. They’re everywhere. Spread across the entire north and west end of the city. Road after road. Building after building. Miles of it. And they keep building. Pushing further west every year into farmland that’s been here for generations. Buying up land, Giving mass amounts of money to home owners to move, Tearing down homes. Tearing down historic sites. $7.2 billion in exempted property taxes. Some of these finished buildings are literally sitting completely dark… PGE told them no power for 3-5 years. They still built them anyway. A power plant is now going up right next to the data centers because they maxed the local grid. There are families still living next to construction zones. Old farmhouses directly across the street from data center walls. Nobody asked the people who already lived here. These are the families who refused to leave, so they said we are just gonna put them up next to your houses anyway. A pioneer homestead from 1865, 190 years of continuous farming is about to be gone, NTT Global Data Centers got that land tax-free until 2051. Signed in a single day at City Hall. Intel, the employer that actually brought thousands of real jobs here is laying off locals at the same time. This sound runs 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. My electricity bill went from $80 to $150. Water rates are set to increase 105% over 5 years, critics say to fund data center infrastructure, not residents. Data centers aren’t a joke. Just wanted to share my first hand experience with them. #datacenters

getting too much “what other city can you get a chopped cheese in a bodega?” content from Vancouverites lately

I love Vancouver because I get both city and nature. I don’t have to pick one or the other

I already know this is bs because in my office they allow AI to be used as long as you don’t put in personal information. However I actually use my brain.
Mayor Ken Sim@KenSimCity
There has been some misinformation and speculation regarding my comments about using AI, so I want to be absolutely clear about the facts. Please see my statement below:

@user5282528262 @melatonn @MikeKlassen @TELUS @EvanLSolomon @PeterMeiszner @KenSimCity If you’re slaving 9 to 5 because of affordability there’s not a lot of opportunities to enjoy nature.

Great to attend today’s announcement at @TELUS Garden alongside Mayor Ken Sim and my ABC Vancouver colleagues.
This major AI infrastructure investment — including new facilities in Vancouver and expansion in Kamloops — positions B.C. at the forefront of sovereign computing and emerging technologies.
I also enjoyed reconnecting with Minister Evan Solomon and reminding him of an exchange we had when he published Shift Magazine nearly 30 years ago. Then and now, we’ve shared optimism about the future technology can help create.
Exciting times ahead for Vancouver’s innovation economy.

I find it so crazy how we are letting billionaires build these data centres that are literally meant to store our personal data so they can exploit us and use our own information against us while simultaneously killing the planet. Like what in the actual fuck.

Instead of building affordable homes, bringing down the costs of groceries, or securing our fresh water as droughts get worse — our government is celebrating a handout to TELUS to build AI data centres in the heart of Vancouver.
I talked w/ CBC about our core concerns👇 #bcpoli

Remember, they’re telling you that you need to let your plants die so that we can put up a big water hungry noise generator in prime real-estate downtown.

There is absolutely no fucking reason a data Center needs to be in the downtown core of a city centre. The sound pollution alone will drive ppl batshit insane. And it’s already crazy enough down there.
Sitka Media@sitkamedia
Telus CEO Darren Entwistle says work is being done to "leverage the rainwater collected by the roof of BC Place" to reduce water consumption at a new downtown Vancouver data to "as close as possible" to zero: "If I'm a Whitecap, I'll stay for that reason alone!"

@Mikesfriend @MikeKlassen @TELUS @EvanLSolomon @PeterMeiszner @KenSimCity Also to say nature is for the rich is the most fucking insane inhumane thing I have ever heard anyone say. I’m convinced you are a bot because no one would ever say that. What the actual fuck.

@melatonn @MikeKlassen @TELUS @EvanLSolomon @PeterMeiszner @KenSimCity the province is poor whats the point of nature if a majority of people cant enjoy it. nature is for the rich.
English
@Mikesfriend @MikeKlassen @TELUS @EvanLSolomon @PeterMeiszner @KenSimCity Data centres are going to RUIN nature, by USING IT ALL UP. what is not clicking in your brain right now
