Alberta is more conservative than the other provinces, and has a weird relationship with the rest of the country. The rest of the country often blocks oil pipeline projects Alberta has, and Alberta essentially pays transfer payments to the less wealthy provinces, which makes people in Alberta bitter. So when the rest of the country wants one thing, Alberta tends to want the opposite.
Alberta also just has a bunch of cheap power it could use for the data centers.
What’s different about Alberta?
For one Alberta has been a strong trade partner with the US for energy (and also seems to entertain separatism more seriously than other provinces)
