Dozens protested outside Toronto City Hall this morning demanding a 1-year moratorium on AI data centres by passing an Interim Control By-law.
These bit factories drive the climate crisis, waste water and don't offer good jobs and sustainable communities. Two data centre proposals are being debated at Toronto City Council - in Scarborough (STACK Infrastructure) and in Etobicoke (Microsoft) this week.
Over 6,500 comments pushing for the moratorium were submitted through Common Horizon Toronto's link - Toronto residents can keep submitting comments at tinyurl.com/NoAIDataCentresTO
