Bell: We've had job fairs on the site. We want to buy local, not just b/c it's the right thing to do but when you're buying heavy things like concrete, you want to by local. #yqrcc

Dan Rink & Jaethan Reichel from Bell AI Fabric are still taking council questions.

They way they're treating these guys right now is like a donut.

A lot of glazing. #yqrcc

The question to ask these two Bell Canada AI Fabric exes is What will be going on inside that building m? what is that building’s function and purpose inside? How will the Ai be used? Cause it ain’t for creating a business.
#yqrcc 

These two companies are well documented online. Please go read for yourself. CoreWeave & Cerebras have ties to + their clients are the US Department of war and Don Jr. —it’s exhausting. The Bell executives are telling half truths. #yqrcc

These guys are telling us a fairytale. There is no Canadian AI companies that will be using the that AI Hyperscale Data Centre. #yqrcc

Council now on 15min break. I'm going to make a coffee & do a live stream. #yqrcc

Bell: We'll monitor to make sure these facilities don't make significant noise. There's berms, noise attenuating walls, setbacks. The east facing side will remain farm land. #yqrcc

Bell: It's not reality that we're skipping process. We're doing air dispersion, noise monitoring studies thorugh independent constultants, we'll provide that to council. We did pre-monitoring of neighbouring wells even though we're not touching the acquifer. #yqrcc

Bell: We want to do these in a way that is friendly to canadian regulation, friendly to our neighbours, so people will want us to build them. #yqrcc

Bell: We care about being a good neighbour. This isn't the only facility we're going to build. We need the social license to do this. This is a marquee campus that will set the standard. We are building these to the highest standard. #yqrcc

Bell: We're very open to community feedback. This in not a world where there was no consultation. We consulted w/ all of the neighbours. We followed all the regulations. You can talk to the 14 more proximal neighbours, they have my cell phone number. We've taken good care of them. #yqrcc

Bell: We're working w/ the universities, we're working w/ First Nations. We're building a district energy system that'll serve George Gordon & both campuses that'll mitigate carbon & save millions a year in gas-based heating. #yqrcc

We are SO so fucked. #yqrcc

Bell: The purpose of the data centre isn't to be a data centre, their purpose is to serve end users who're turning ideas into businesses & creating & innovating. The demand is there b/c the technology is revolutionary & creating massive efficiencies. #yqrcc

Bell: Beyond Bell, our own customers have their own staff doing technical work w/in these facilities. We're talking about jobs on site, across the economy, bringing AI infrastructure to Canada helps all industries. There's a spinoff effect. #yqrcc

Bell: Nearly 32 different local Sk contrators are involved. Statistically, that's 1 in 20 homes has someone working with this facility. That raises salaries. #yqrcc

Bell: My vision is this becomes the Canadian centre of excellence for this industry. There are the only ones building data centres at great scale. During construction, we expect 1200 jobs. We want those to persist for years. #yqrcc

Froh wants to know what the province can expect in terms of regional economic impacts long term. #yqrcc

Bell: We're aligned. We will supply whatever information the city wants. We will be forthcoming & will continue to be a good partner. #yqrcc
