Telus Advancing New AI Data-Centre Cluster in British Columbia

By

Telus (T.TO) is advancing a proposed artificial-intelligence data-center cluster in British Columbia, the company said on Monday.

Telus is expanding its existing Kamloops data center and developing two new Vancouver facilities with Westbank and its partners. The Kamloops AI Factory will come online later this year; the M3 facility in Vancouver's Mount Pleasant neighborhood will open at the end of 2026 and scale through 2028; and the 150 West Georgia facility will come online in 2029, with the cluster's total capacity scaling to over 150 MW by 2032, a statement said.

Once fully scaled, this cluster is expected to deliver $9 billion in economic value to British Columbia, create more than 1,000 construction jobs and hundreds of high-skilled operations roles, Telus added.

The company's first Sovereign AI Factory in Rimouski, Quebec, opened last September, and is sold out.

Telus shares were last seen down $0.08 to $17.38 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

CN Rail Urges STB to Reject Proposed Union Pacific, Northern Southern Amended Merger Application

Canadian National Rail (CNR.TO), down 1.2% on last look, is urging the Surface Transportation Board (STB) to reject the amended merger application submitted by Union Pacific (UP) and Norfolk Southern (NS) as it "still fails to meet the Board's requirements and thus remains incomplete", the company said on Monday.The STB, which rejected the applicants' first application in January, identified three separate deficiencies. CN Rail notes the amended application still fails to provide thorough competition analyses and consistent market share information. The application also does not accurately identify the points that would "go from two Class I options to one, or from three Class I options to two", CN points out.CN also flagged the insufficiency of the applicants' proposed committed gateway pricing (CGP) program which applies to less than one percent of U.S. rail traffic. CN said many shippers would face increased rail shipping costs due to the CGP program.CN Rail shares were last seen down $1.91, to $150.80, on the Toronto Stock Exchange.Price: $150.86, Change: $-1.85, Percent Change: -1.21%
