Google brings Gemini search and Blackwell Ultra systems to air-gapped clouds

Telus’s BC AI data centre cluster is a sovereign-compute bet, not a finished build
Ottawa and Telus announced a three-site AI data centre cluster in British Columbia: Kamloops, Mount Pleasant, and downtown Vancouver. But the project is still at MOU stage, with no funding committed yet and no public pricing, GPU counts, or power capacity disclosed. For Canadian builders, the real question is whether this becomes usable domestic AI infrastructure — or just a polished policy signal that arrives after the market has already moved on.
