Big tech billionaires are rolling out behemoth data centres as fast as they can, trampling over local democracy and environmental protections in the process. Right now, we have an opportunity to take back community control and make clear that our land, water, and resources are for us, the public, not U.S. based tech billionaires. The choice for Toronto City Council and Mayor Chow is clear: Back big tech billionaires at the expense of everyday Torontonians—OR— Uphold local democracy, ensure communities are consulted, and minimize environmental impacts by passing a moratorium on AI Data Centres NOW!
