EZRA LEVANT | Why do they want a digital ID?
I’m worried about a new bill introduced in Canada’s Parliament, to give border guards the right to search and seize information from your phone — including photos; including emails; including documents. It really is modelled after China’s so-called Social Credit system, where everything about you is tracked in a government database — or, more likely, contracted out to a company like Amazon or Google, on behalf of the government. The worst of both worlds. GUEST: National Post columnist Rupa Subramanya on her latest article, 'WHO and the Davos elite leave a lot to be desired'.
