Summary
Canadians are divided on AI data centers—concerns over rising electricity costs and environmental impact dominate, but 46% support keeping data centers on Canadian soil for greater control. While 62% recognize these facilities, 58% believe provinces or power companies should pay for the energy. Expansion efforts, especially in Alberta using natural gas, face public resistance, including a major project halted in Manitoba—highlighting a growing tension between tech progress and public accountability.
