Question Gord Grantz vs George Minakakis ?

After researching, I realized that these are the best candidates. But I am torn between Gord and George. What convinced you of either of them? I would like to know your opinion.

It's a 1 year ban that he voted against.

Mississauga, Oakville, Toronto, etc -- they've all passed the exact same 1 year pause.

I'm ok with not having a 1 year pause. I'd rather the council make decisions on a case by case application. Not all "data centres" are the same.

The pause is because any decision on data centers is based on incomplete research now. The effects are just now being seen. Why not wait and see what those effects are?

It's very very reasonable.

Because I'd fully support a traditional data centre. AI datacentre likely not at this time. Why limit our options though?

The motion says "AI data centres"

AI data centers are not bad, if they ensure that utility costs do not go up for the rest of us.

Not sure why everything is ZERO or 100 with people in this country.

What's wrong with data centers if the company that wants it covers the utility costs and extra costs - to ensure the utility prices of residents don't go up?
