Canadian Provinces Pushing Digital IDs on Citizenry
Greg Zink
In another step towards establishing The World State, Canada is rapidly implementing the infrastructure to become a digital trailblazer for its increasingly surveilled and tiered society.
Ontario (the most populous province holding 40% of the national citizenry) recently announced that it will be introducing a “Digital Identity Program” that alleges to provide a “convenient way to prove who you are that will make accessing online and in-person services simpler, safer and more secure.”
This “eID” verification system was already partially rolled out across Canada amidst the Covid hysteria of 2021.
Government-run verification apps were given to bars, restaurants, event venues, and theatres to discern the vaccinated from the unvaccinated. It ultimately determined who was permitted to participate in Canadian society from September of 2021 until March of 2022.
And now the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario (headed by Premier Doug Ford) wants to make this a permanent fixture of Canadian life where the “show me your papers” mentality could easily become the norm.
If fully implemented, a digital ID would mean the end of medical privacy, precarious citizenship, and a giant leap towards a communist-style social credit system.
Digital ID Explained
Digital identification is being touted by the provincial government as a means to provide electronic versions of “trusted government documents that provide better safety, more security, and stronger privacy than physical identification.”
Drawing on the “safe and effective” language, they insist that it can be stored in smartphone wallet apps and will make accessing government services “easier”. Furthermore, they assert that it will not be held in a centralized government database, but rather, uniquely on your device alone.
