Canadian provinces are torn on implementing digital IDs. Alberta and Ontario have already begun the process while Saskatchewan has recently scrapped its plans.

They, of course, use the sales pitch of convenience to convince the public to relinquish their freedoms.
In February Trudeau revoked his self-granted powers in response to the trucker convoy protests but last week indicated he may invoke the Emergencies Act again in the future.
