Nova Scotia's premier says future data centre support depends on energy supply and safety, noting no active proposals and willingness to discuss only when energy projects are operational.

• Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston states his government is not pursuing data centre projects unless the province can fully supply the necessary energy.
• Houston mentions that any potential data centre must not pose risks to residents or the provincial grid.
• Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew previously rejected a large AI data centre due to concerns over energy use and community impact.
