I just received a water restriction notice for the #MetroVancouver area.
I am now prohibited from even filling a bird bath yet Mark Carney is currently pushing for water guzzling AI Data Centers in Vancouver.
With climate warming, our community also deals with brownouts every summer. Where are Carney and #Telus going to get the power and water to run these unnecessary, resource heavy monstrosities?
