Dozens of people protest Meta’s plan to build its first Canadian data centre in a county north of Edmonton, according to reports from Winnipeg Free Press and CityNews Toronto. The demonstrations take place in Morinville, with protesters voicing concerns about the project. Details on the specific issues raised are not provided in the available excerpts, but the consistent reporting is that community members are actively opposing Meta’s proposal. The plan is described as a major facility intended to support the company’s technology operations in Canada. Both outlets frame the event as a local protest involving community residents and members of the public rather than a dispute resolved through official channels at the time of reporting. The coverage indicates that the project is significant enough to draw attention beyond corporate planning, prompting organized public action in the region where the data centre would be built. Overall, the sources agree on the location of the protest and the general nature of the project being challenged: Meta’s planned data centre in northern Alberta.
