This is just a beginning.
There will be more datacenters. Three is barely acceptable.
This will bring technology companies here. Latency still matters - a lot - and the speed of light ain't changing anytime soon. I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of HQs set up here as other Canadian regions are in poor power reliability areas and/or earthquake zones (I'd never use services based on the west coast - ever).
For Toronto especially, a lot of the Azure and AWS datacenters are actually contracted out to 3rd party providers which is why they have a good presence there. Calgary has basically no spare datacenter capacity, mostly because Telus has done nothing significant in the datacenter space for about 30 years.
