Trudeau Liberals Splurge $105.3 Million on Digital ID with WEF

In the latest episode of “Government Shenanigans,” the Trudeau administration has struck a deal worth a staggering $105.3 million to cozy up with the World Economic Forum (WEF) and conjure up a Known Traveler Digital ID. Move aside, conspiracy theorists — reality just got a whole lot stranger.

The Startling Revelation

Leslyn Lewis, the Conservative dynamo with a knack for uncovering bureaucratic secrets, stumbled upon a gem buried deep within an Order Paper question signed by none other than Transportation Minister Omar Alghabra. Lo and behold, the WEF, known for its elite connections and lavish soirées, has joined hands with our dear government to birth this digital monstrosity.

A Match Made in Bureaucratic Heaven

Transport Canada, bless their hearts, confirmed the WEF’s involvement as one of the masterminds behind the Known Traveler Digital Identity (KTDI) Project. But wait, there’s more — it’s not just a one-night stand. Alongside the WEF, we have a motley crew including the governments of Canada and the Netherlands, the heavy hitters like Air Canada and Royal Dutch Airlines, and even airports like Toronto Pearson, Montréal-Trudeau, and Schiphol International. It’s like a who’s who of digital identification, with a side of bureaucratic flair.

A Budgetary Bonanza

Curious where all that taxpayer moolah is going? Wonder no more. Budget 2021 waltzed in with a check for $105.3 million over five years, earmarked specifically for this digital odyssey. Because, you know, who needs roads and schools when you can have cutting-edge digital IDs?

Piloting Into Uncharted Territory

But fret not, dear citizens, for the WEF and its cronies assure us they’re not just twiddling their thumbs with our hard-earned cash. Oh no, they’re diving headfirst into “piloting components of the KTDI concept in a real-life, cross-border context.” Translation: they’re playing digital guinea pigs with our travel data to see what sticks. And if that’s not enough, they’re also busy hobnobbing with international regulatory bodies and industry titans to develop those ever-elusive best practices and standards. Because who doesn’t love a good standard?

Stay Tuned for the Digital Drama

As with any good soap opera, this saga is far from over. Keep your eyes glued for updates, plot twists, and government shenanigans in this riveting tale of bureaucratic largesse and techno-utopian fantasies. After all, in the world of digital IDs, the only thing certain is uncertainty.
