Canada Gov confesses to $105M WEF Digital ID contract
As a Canadian, I find what's (
https://bit.ly/3MkA5jq) going on in my
country just insane. The current government prostitutes itself to the
WEF. Canada is no democracy anymore. It has become a dystopian
dictatorship.
The Liberal government has admitted in writing that they have an
ongoing $105.3 million contract with the World Economic Forum
to introduce digital identities for travel to Canada.
Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis published an Inquiry of Ministry
she sent to Transport Minister Omar Alghabra in June.
The Inquiry focuses on the federal government's Known Traveller
Digital Identity (KTDI) program first introduced in 2018.
Lewis demanded that the government provide information on how
many Canadian travellers "have opted into the program, what data
was collected and how much has been spent on the pilot among
other things."
According to KTDI website (
https://bit.ly/3CmxPDz), the Government
of Canada is listed as a pilot partner alongside the WEF, Air Canada,
the Toronto Pearson International AIrport, the Montreal Pierre
Elliott Trudeau International Airport and others.
The project is described as a WEF initiative to enable governments
to "access verifiable claims of a traveller's identity" using a digital
identity prototype.
In response, Alghabra's office was scant on details. The statement
"this information is not available" appeared five different times
in the government's reply.
On the question of how many travellers have opted into the program,
Alghabra wrote: "This information is not available. However, the
volume of participants would be decided by participating air
carriers."
When asked what specific technologies were being used, Alghabra
responded by saying: "This information is not available. However,
prior to the deferral of the pilot, the proposed technologies
to be used included: distributed ledger technology; biometric
technology; and cryptography."
"Transport Canada has to date spent $428,671 on salaries and $220,830
on non-salaries," Alghabra explained. "Budget 2021 proposed $105.3
million over five years, starting in 2021-22."
Lewis has been an outspoken critic of the WEF and the adoption
of digital identity programs by governments. (

"It is incredibly concerning that the same Prime Minister who is
signing our country up for this digital ID experiment also ordered
the freezing of bank accounts of people who bought a t-shirt to support
the freedom protest," tweeted Lewis in April.
