Lovely thesis, weird title.

[Canada Post]'s large physical infrastructure and entrenched history in Canadian life could make Canada Post an ideal host for server farms.

Same could be said for almost every other government owned company? BoC and CBC would have been less weird examples, at least pick a company that is obviously linked to digital infrastructure.

Could it? I can't think of any reason why the BoC or CBC would have large physical infrastructure (i.e. warehouses), especially ones seeing less and less use, ripe to be turned into data centres.

Canada Post probably has some of the more interesting digital infrastructure of all the crown corps. The technology that is able to read the chicken scratches on envelopes and figure out where they need to go continues to amaze.
