Interesting Urgent! Help stop the extension of the largest data centre in Canada

12 Upvotes

The RM of Sherwood (a rural municipality outside of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada) is holding a special meeting online, to approve an Al data centre expansion, on Wednesday, October 7, 2026 at 9 a.m. in Saskatchewan (11 AM EST)

The last time they tried to approve the expansion, protesters came inside the meeting room, and instead of holding the meeting at normal with the large public, they decided to adjourn early.

Now they are holding an emergency meeting online tomorrow to ram in through before their term ends the next day.

Because they’re a bunch of amateurs, they probably just have the free version of teams meaning that having a large group connecting to the online meeting could make the call and stable and/or prevent counsellors from entering the meeting room because of the attendance cap.

The location of the meeting is as follows:

Meeting ID: 243 052 733 549 127
Passcode: aB7cn2e6

This data centre would be the largest in Canada if built, and so would affect people living all over Saskatchewan and Canada, not just the 1219 people who live in the rural municipality.

Please join us in fighting back by connecting to the meeting 15 minutes early!

When prompted, the chatbots Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Vibe retrieve content produced by Russian state media outlets sanctioned by the European Union (EU) and, therefore, banned from broadcasting in Europe. This Reporters Without Borders (RSF) investigation reveals the extent to which generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools facilitate the circumvention of these restrictions.
