About this episode
There's an AI data centre boom in Canada. Advocates say they're necessary for Canada's sovereignty and prosperity. Critics say they're noisy and terrible for the environment. In one Alberta community, a group of farmers fought an AI data centre and won. We speak to writer and journalist, Luc Rinaldi, who wrote about this fight and one of the farmers at the heart of it.
