There is only a vague "potential" to receive compensation. It says right on the site that declaration does not guarantee compensation, especially when there is now a pool that could cover less than 2/3's of the already declared firearms - and the 50,000 firearms are a majority of claims from businesses. Individuals will most certainly get nothing but grifted. If anyone has declared and is now having second thoughts, there are instructions on the site to withdraw. You can and should do so while the Supreme Court appeals are being heard. Unsurprisingly, the government hasn't and won't act in good faith.
A smell you may find objectionable isn't an environmental or health hazard if you aren't in an open air or ventilated space. The compounds release pale in comparison to someone who is directly smoking the material and doesn't even compare to the actual discussion at hand about particles and VOC's that entire provinces are subjected to - and are pretty well completely unavoidable. Save your NIMBY-isms for your neighbourhood watch meetings
It's not the size, it's the principle. And if it's "just one", how long is it before just another little data center pops up? How many neighbourhoods do these shills intend on ruining in our lifetime?
You know you can switch your delivery destination to a Canada Post outlet for pickup, right? At least with our local Intelcom drivers, these delivery people ACTUALLY call your house and make the delivery attempt compared to other supposed courier services.
That was also 30 years ago. You can't pin more recent problems in this province on that 5 year window and stay blind to the actions of the other parties.
@Alex Weston - he is responsible for the deliberate starvation of Healthcare funding by withholding literal billions of dollars. This drives out hospital staff and increases wait times or gambles with the possibility of even being seen by a GP before having to actually go to a hospital. Through his deliberate starvation, yes, he is responsible.
There is NO benefit to having them, let alone in any community. They poison local water supplies, bear an unnecessary load on our local grid while consuming resources for pennies on the dollar. That's not even taking into account the constant noise and property devaluation of any neighbourhoods that they are built into or near to. These are a blight on our lands and the city should pass an overdue resolution to prohibit the installation of data centers in or near the city
This type of infrastructure should be nationalized instead of having it literally held over us by a private entity - not only from a national security perspective, but what could have been a major point of pride in a country's domestic manufacturing and space programs.
