Digital ID and CBDCs - Inform, Engage!

Modern culture is obsessed with 'hacks' to maximize simplicity, afford ease, provide shortcuts and increase speed. As such, Digital ID and CBDCs are a powerful lure to the masses.

That does not bode well if we want a majority to refuse to comply. Mass refusal is one of the few foreseeable means to avoid being locked in the techno-prison Digital ID and CBDCs will create.

We need to first inform ourselves and then engage those around us. This process must start NOW. Waiting until the Canadian government announces plans to implement is far too late

Here is a short list to get you started. Take some notes, memorize the basics and begin conversations with those around you! Starting these conversations is as easy as asking non-commital questions "Did you hear the UK announced plans for digital ID - what's that all about?"
