Saskatchewan government undermines democracy and embraces corporate rule with AI data centre scheme
In March, four out of the RM’s seven municipal councillors resigned over alleged ethical concerns, which seem to centre on the proposed land development agreement between the RM and Bell Canada and the construction of an AI data centre. In response to the resignations, the Minister of Government Relations and former RCMP member Eric Schmalz appointed four new members to council, all of them government and resource industry cronies.
Despite calls to hold off on hearing the land development agreement until a new council is elected in November, the agreement was rushed through on April 20 and accepted by the RM council composed of only three elected officials.
