Meta’s $9B Alberta gambit tilts the AI infra map east of the 49th: it secures 1 GW of capacity for Llama and cuts trans-border latency to Can-econ hubs, but the move exposes them to Alberta’s power-cost volatility (avg. industrial tariff ~$75/MWh vs. ~$45/MWh in the U.S. Midwest) and to Ottawa’s evolving digital sovereignty rhetoric—contract language isn’t public, so sovereign-access risk remains unquantified.
