Mike Johnson says opposition to data centers "is a Chinese psyop. I really believe that. That's not a conspiracy theory."

My take on this plan? It risks making life worse for Ontarians by leading to - higher bills - increased reliance on U.S. imported gas -greater air pollution - more severe climate damages Not what we needed, not what we deserve!
