Crypto World News reports that, according to Global News, the Manitoba provincial government in Canada has proposed to impose double electricity rates on cryptocurrency mining companies and data centers, and grants the government the right to cut off power to mining operations at any time during peak electricity usage periods. The reason given is that these businesses consume a large amount of electricity and contribute limited benefits to the local economy. The move has faced strong opposition from mining operators, who say it will lead to the bankruptcy of many compliant companies. In recent years, several Canadian provinces have continued to tighten mining policies; Quebec has already implemented double electricity rates, and British Columbia has directly banned new mining farms from connecting to the grid.
