Data centers are a problem for Alberta Premier Daniel Smith. I'm Kathleen Petty, host of West of Center, and on this week's show, new polling shows deep disapproval for the government's plan to attract AI investment. As an Albertan, I don't have a lot of faith in the government, and so whatever they tell us about this plant, I'm skeptical. Could a big data push shake up support in conservative strongholds? Join us for a deep dive into the politics of data centers.
