We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.
The emissions from individual AI text, image, and video queries seem small—until you add up what the industry isn’t tracking and consider where it’s heading next.

What a weird, convoluted response
The Government of Canada is moving with speed and ambition to build the ports, rail, transit, and other infrastructure that will connect Canada and Canadians to the world.
In the Greater Toronto Area, this is part of an integrated strategy that includes the expansion of Toronto Pearson Airport, the construction of Canda's first high-speed rail network, and other major investments in our municipal and regional transit systems.
Billy Bishop Airport is a critical part of Canada's air transportation network located in the heart of Toronto's waterfront community. As we ensure its future as a vital transportation, economic, and tourism nud to toronto, it is important that we do it with and for wanto ans For instance, the airport recently opened a state-of-the-art customs pre-clearance facility. supported by a $30 million federal investment.
At this stage, I can confirm that our focus lies exclusively on the approved safety enhancements, which are currently taking place, and are required to maintain safe operations at the airport. They are expected to be completed in mid-2027. Toronto voices will shape any future plans for Billy Bishop Airport. Through this public consultation, we have listened to feedback on a range of issues, including transportation, economics, environmental protection, noise, housing, and quality of life.
We will always work collaboratively with our partners in studying the region's connectivity needs and protecting the interests of local residents. However, we will not pursue any plans that infringe on treasured public spaces like Little Norway Park or Hanlan's Point Beach, result in elevated noise, have significant environmental impacts, or hinder Toronto's ability
to buid much-needed nousing
As we received more than 87 000 responses, I want to thank my Toronto caucus colleagues and the Canadians wro parcipated in tnis consultation process or teir vital contributions supporting safe, efficient, and sustainable operations at Billy Bishop Toronto City …

A closer read reveals that only Elementary teachers are eligible, and that all supplies need to be ordered through a government website. So, Ford controls what can be bought and how much it will cost - wonder which one of his friends will be benefitting from this scheme?

“A visit last week confirmed its sad shape. The OSC currently occupies two streetfront rooms with a program that is basically an indoor playground, featuring a few fragments of exhibitions from the larger museum.” Arts, science, nature, all degraded by Ford for “entertainment.“

Premier Ford is gutting healthcare by diverting money from hospitals to private agencies. This, along with the news that Shoppers Drug Mart billed $62 million for MedsChecks that were not always necessary, shows why Ontario healthcare is suffering.
