Alberta minister met with jeers at AI data centre town hall

Alberta's technology minister was met with jeering, badgering and boos at a town hall discussing the province's plans for artificial intelligence data centres. Nate Glubish says the province has carefully crafted a strategy to protect local water supplies, electricity bills, and land use, but attendees say they don't trust the Alberta government to regulate the industry's risks.
The call comes after an investigation into a 2023 collision between two Canadian National Railway trains near Wainwright, about 200 kilometres southeast of Edmonton.
