The companies currently lining up for AI data centers are pretty well all American techno-fascists. Those techno fascist corporations will have zero issue using whatever datacenters offer the cheapest rates, and the easiest regulations – and as they’re all making moves to establish ‘freedom cities’ where there are no government regulations curtailing their activities, those are the most likely places these datacenters will eventually go. Even the existing batches of datacenters are largely moving to areas with government incentives for the construction.

Without a healthy AI market/industry in Canada, with the benefits going to Canadians, the case for spending a shitload of resources on the infrastructure the Americans want isn’t really prudent. Especially as we can clearly see at the moment, how committed the Americans are to friendly trade relations.
