Description
🤖 Anthropic just signed a 20-year lease in Cape Breton, and the real story isn't the $10 BILLION. It's who set the terms.
On Friday, EverWind Fuels announced the largest private investment in Nova Scotia's history, with an unnamed "frontier AI developer" as its tenant. By evening, the name was out: Anthropic, the company behind Claude. Most headlines called it a tech story. It's actually a story about Canadian power, in both senses of the word. Ottawa wrote the rules in September, and in October an AI giant signed on.
