Episode Details

Saskatchewan’s bold new strategy puts Canadian companies front and center in building the province’s future data centers—prioritizing national security, local jobs, and energy independence. With strict rules requiring self-powered facilities and partnerships with Saskatchewan-based teams, the government ensures these critical digital infrastructure projects stay home, under Canadian oversight. Backed by input from industry, unions, and Indigenous groups, the plan is already in motion—with Bell Canada’s Regina site, employing 500 workers and using local steel, serving as a flagship example. This project may also be the last non-Crown facility allowed to tap SaskPower, signaling a major shift toward sovereign control over AI and data infrastructure.
