1. Confirmé An Angus Reid poll found a strong majority of Canadians not interested in data centres, when asked whether their province should encourage or limit them. Angus Reid found 64% want their provincial government to limit large data centres, and fewer than one in five (18%) would encourage more. Data Centre Doubts: Two-thirds want them limited
2. Introuvable Albertans were among both the biggest proponents and the biggest opponents of data centre construction at the same time. The Angus Reid page I opened shows 64% of Albertans want development limited, the same as the national figure and below Saskatchewan's 70%. I did not see a breakdown showing Alberta also has among the highest support. Data Centre Doubts: Two-thirds want them limited
3. Confirmé A Calgary city councillor is trying to stop approvals for large-scale data centres until policy gaps are addressed. A motion would pause new land-use applications for large data centres while the city develops rules. It is sponsored by four councillors and the mayor, so it is more than one councillor. Calgary city councillors propose temporary pause on data centres · Council to debate temporary pause on data centre development
4. Confirmé Opponents have raised concerns about power use, electricity rates and local water supplies. The Calgary motion cites water use and electricity demand. The federal principles say data centres should not shift electricity costs onto households and should minimize freshwater use. Council to debate temporary pause on data centre development · Data Centre Doubts: Two-thirds want them limited
