The generators are worysome though any good #datacenter has backup generators. Generators to provide regular electricity could be a problem.

Does Bell Canada have a partnership with AI companies? Is this just a datacenter rebranded? Are the Epic/BellMTS datacenter (now Equinix) on Waverley and the Videon one (now Rogers) still underused? Is there a chance that the many Crypto datacenters in MB can be converted? #Winnipeg #Manitoba #MBPoli #MBPol

Regulating youth instead of regulating social media companies. Providing social media companies with more data to harvest, and easier targeting.

This means social media companies will target individuals and data brokers will have more detailed information. Regulating harmful practices would be better.
Australia saw “U shaped” results meaning some youth got more isolated and had worse mental health after their ban.

Why is the #Winnipeg water treatment plant $3B CAD and a similar sized US plant going to be $0.59B USD? Maybe I missed something, but the biggest thing I’m missing is why it’s costing $3B. I suspect it’s the combined sewers. Maybe there’s a plan to treat storm water, but it’s hard to find out.

https://legacy.winnipeg.ca/waterandwaste/sewage/treatmentPlant/default.stm says it serves 404k people.

https://aucgroup.net/water-treatment-plant-costs/ says 400k in Wichita and links to costs ballooning to $0.57B USD.

Today in 1890, Manitoba Premier Thomas Greenway halts all funding to Catholic schools in the province.
This will grow to become the Manitoba Schools Question & the issue will bring down the federal Conservative Party in the 1896 federal election.
