Alberta’s current data centre policy means Alberta’s first hyper-scale centre risks adding $267-$462/year to household electricity bills.
Our analysis found electricity costs are on track to rise 15%-25% every year for the next five years. #abpoli

With ample wind and solar resources, Saskatchewan is well positioned to support the growth of AI infrastructure while modernizing its electricity system.
Instead, the Bell AI Fabric expansion risks locking in higher emissions & costs by relying on large-scale natural gas.💰📉

The oil and gas sector is Canada's largest source of emissions, responsible for 30%.
With new oilsands and pipeline projects on the table, emissions could keep growing.

A break at the pump is welcome relief, but the gas tax pause won’t shield Canadians from volatile global oil prices forever.
Long-term relief means helping Canadians avoid that exposure by accelerating the shift to EVs.

New modelling from @climateinstitute.bsky.social shows Canada would be lucky to hit its 2030 emissions target by 2050.
The data shows many climate policies were working. But the Carney government has weakened, delayed, and rolled back key measures, putting years of progress at risk.
