A letter to the editor today from GPM Policy Chair regarding AI development in Manitoba.

I read with interest about Wab Kinew’s AI Ojibwa translator (Forging a Future with AI, Free Press, Dec 22, 2025). This is a great example of how AI tools can be used in positive ways, alongside other helpful uses such as in cancer care, immunology, agriculture, and in finding creative ways to deal with the climate emergency. I also appreciate the importance of building at-home AI solutions to protect Canada’s sovereignty and to keep our personal data out of the hands of American oligarchs.
However, I think it is important to point out the contrast between this project and the proposed plans for an AI Data Centre in Île des Chênes. That plan, which is to be funded by American equity firm Blue Owl, includes using six gas-fired turbines to generate electricity and most likely will require massive amounts of ground water for cooling. It seems to me that increasing our emissions and putting our water resources at risk at a time when we stand on the precipice of unprecedented environmental dangers shouldn’t even be on the table.
As the Policy Chair for the Green Party of Manitoba, I encourage all of us, and, in particular, Mr Kinew, to think carefully about how, why, and at what cost each and every AI project is built.
They are not all created equal.

From the @winnipegfreepress.com Sept 17, 2025. IEA says we need to spend $540B per year to ensure the climate crisis and environmental degradation gets far worse through 2050. We must do better. #EndFossilFuels

The Green Party of Manitoba will not run a candidate in the Transcona byelection, out of respect for the recent passing of Transcona MLA and Minister Altomare.
