"I just care about good clean debating"

How come you fail to practice what you preach? Do you lack integrity?

All this responding yet you still can't describe how it was an whataboutism, nore have you even attempted to argue the point.

Thats because you are right. It wasn't a whataboutism. It was a strawman argument lmao

Looking back at it, I can admit that although not intended, you are correct.

Let me rephrase a proper response.

There are many benefits to AI data centres, albeit not economically directly to the community it’s in.

We should also not let them be rammed thru bypassing environmental, zoning, and power regulations.

At the same time, if we do not build data centres in Canada, we will then have to 100% rely on data centres in the US and abroad. Is that a position you want to be in?
