    Alberta has overallocated their watershed. The allocated water simple doesn’t exist, it was based on estimations created decades ago. The province keeps accelerating their pace toward a water calamity. Agriculture, oil industry, urban growth, and now data centres.

      It’s as though they think being a giant piece of shit and offloading your costs onto the community is some genius play no one has ever thought of rather than not done because most people aren’t sociopaths.

      The ultra rich hate everyone. They’re psychopaths* who only care about pumping up the numbers in their bank accounts. Nationality and community is meaningless to them outside of knowing which politicians are susceptable to bribes

      edit: change sociopaths to psychopaths

      Well didn’t OLeary move to the states. He can stay there.

    But there’s a catch: before the sale goes through, the municipality must “act as an agent” for O’Leary’s company by securing provincial water licences that give the facility access to up to 24 million cubic metres of water annually.

    That’s enough water for about 460,000 people over their lifetimes, drawn from a municipality that last year declared an agricultural emergency because of drought.

    Wonder Valley is a pump and dump. There’s not enough east/west internet links from that part of Canada, and you have to cross the rockies to get to the Pacific.
