Danielle Smith's NEW AI Data Centre Video | What She Didn't Want You To Know

Danielle Smith's NEW AI Data Centre Video | What She Didn't Want You To Know14 aug59 min

<p>Danielle Smith released a video today addressing six questions Albertans have been asking about the Meta AI data centre. What she conveniently left out is where this story actually gets interesting.</p><p><br></p><p>She never mentioned the $70 billion Wonder Valley project — the largest AI data centre in the world, also being built in Alberta. She called the levy &quot;no taxpayer backstop,&quot; but didn&#39;t mention it doesn&#39;t start collecting until December 2026, and companies can offset it entirely through existing tax credits. She touted a 6% drop in your transmission bill — which works out to about $1.80 a month. And she never once mentioned Mark Carney&#39;s AI For All program, the $200 billion federal strategy that explains exactly who these data centres are really being built for.</p><p><br></p><p>Tonight I break down her video question by question — what she said, what the numbers actually mean, and why Alberta becoming the centre of Canada&#39;s AI infrastructure might make separation a lot harder than anyone&#39;s admitting.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>💲This show is 100% listener funded.
