For a lot of computing workloads, including AI inference (and training), the user won't notice the difference if it's being done in a different country.

With the US's '100% tariffs on Taiwanese chips' to be taken 'seriously, but not literally', at some point it makes sense to build additional 'AI' capacity in Canada instead.

I tried to find additional info on the report's 're-allocating a considerable portion of [its] projected international spend to the US', but I am unable to find the original report, to see if there were additional pages.
