Olds has a population of just over 9,000 and these people are saying a server farm will employ 11% of the population?
Yeah, no 🙄

I took a course in environmental physics in 19fucking82 where we talked about climate basics. That's 45 years of foot-dragging, denial, obfuscation, LYING and, well, "Conservatives".
Meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry spends ~$700 MILLION/yr on lobbying & propaganda to avoid climate regulation.

“I don't see any plan, any strategy, any end game,” says Pat Parenteau, a professor of environmental law at the University of Vermont. “I don't see anything from this administration, just fuck everything up as much as you can. You can print that.”

Albertans deserve transparency from their government, and these boundary changes have been anything but.
