A Digital Certificate For Every Canadian
thepacketmaster writes "September 27 of this year, the Canadian government took a quiet step into the online world. Called Government Online, this broad project involves giving every Canadian citizen a digital certificate, which will allow citizens to access their personal government records online. So far they only have the Custom & Revenue Agency online with a simple Change of Address, but there are over a hundred more applications from various agencies ready to be put online. Could this be the start of something good, or is this Big Brother? How about voting online?"
It could be the MARK OF THE BEAST.
We all know Canada was inspired by Satan to make us (Americans) look bad. Single payer system (rude gesture)! This just proves it.
The good and new comes from no quarter where it is looked for, and is always something different from what is expected.
Very funny, I don't think they have got it all wrong. Let me tell you slim, our media does not report on all the muggings and crime that goes on in our country. My ex is a nurse and she told me that there is at least 3 mugging related stabbings a week in toronto. If they had a gun, they could protect themselves. Also, in America, if crime is that high wouldn't you want to carry a gun? Also, Americans own property outright, the guns are to protect that land. Canadians always forget that we have less people too, and when we do kill or maim out of malice we use knives, cars, bats, fists. Only in a surface comparison is Canada better than the US, but if you look closely which Canadians never do,(nationalized education), you see simple prejudice. We love to bash rednecks, yanks, southerners.
I'm really embarrased by canucks such as this. They say, we're great because we have no guns. We also have no property rights, a constitution that guarantees nothing and everything that canucks deem good about it is based on the fact that they aren't America.
We brag about about our free health care, even though it's going to the toilet, fast. We don't have access to breakthroughs in medicine, because in order to offer these services our government has to go through years of procedure just to make these breakthroughs available.
Our doctors ARE leaving for the US, so we get our pick of the litter when it comes to third world doctors with sub par certification. Canadians just call these docs and nurses greedy, but it doesn't change the fact that the best talent our country had to offer, is gone, gone, gone.
I think you're rather clueless, you should step outside the Great White Aquarium and see our country for what it really is. Full O' Shit.
Yes, you can bet that if our government is involved in personal information on the web, that they are getting something out of it. I just haven't figured out the angle yet.
