Trudeau government to roll out another digital border crossing app by 2026

By 2026, Canadians driving to the United States will be asked to pre-submit photos, license plate numbers and other information to the Canada Border Services Agency through a mobile application as part of its ‘traveller modernization’ plan.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government has introduced their plan to implement a new ArriveCAN style border crossing application by 2026. 

According to a federal report obtained November 14 by Blacklock’s Reporter, by 2026 Canadians driving to the United States will be asked to pre-submit photos and license plate numbers to the Canada Border Services Agency through a mobile application as part of its “traveller modernization” plan. 

“Travellers will use a redesigned advance declaration mobile application to submit their digital photo, advance declaration and license plate information in advance of arrival,” wrote the Agency.   

The report noted that the new plan is separate from the notorious ArriveCAN app which monitored and collected information from Canadians leaving or entering the country during the COVID “pandemic,” however there are some notable similarities.     

Under the forthcoming regime, Canadians will “provide their biographic, biometric declaration and other border-related information prior to arriving at the port of entry,” and officers “will be given smartphones to access the digital referrals and process them,” which the government says is “expected to save time.”  

It remains unknown if the program will be mandatory like the ArriveCAN app once was, or what will happen to Canadians who refuse to register. During the ArriveCAN system, which was described as “tyranny” by a Canadian Border Agent, those who failed to comply with the mandate were subjected to hefty fines. 

When the app was mandated, all travelers entering Canada had to use it to submit their travel and contact information as well as any COVID vaccination details before crossing the border or boarding a flight.   

At the time, top constitutional lawyers argued that ArriveCAN violated an individual’s constitutional rights.

In addition to tracking the 60 million people crossing land borders each year, the new program outlined similar electronic tracking for marine passengers and air passengers to be introduced in 2027 and 2028 respectively.  

The proposed system comes after the ArriveCAN app was ultimately scrapped following a number of scandals. Among the scandals was the app’s $54 million price tag, $8.9 million of which was given to an obscure company called GC Strategies which was operated by a two-man team out of an Ontario home.

The app and its creation has been under investigation since November 2022 after the House of Commons voted 173-149 for a full audit.  

Of particular interest to the auditors is getting to the bottom of how and why various companies such as Dalian, Coaradix, and GC Strategies received millions in taxpayer dollar contracts to develop the program.

LifeSiteNews last year reported about two tech entrepreneurs who testified before the House of Commons’ investigative committee that during the development of the app they saw federal managers firsthand engage in “extortion,” “corruption,” and “ghost contracting,” all at the expense of taxpayers.

Liberal Leadership Launch…

Published on

We are one day away from Trump being inaugurated, the country may be thrown into 25% tariffs, in the hundreds of Executive Orders that Trump will be signing on his first days back in office as the 47th President of the United States…

And it’s hard to not notice that the Left Leaners are more focused on Premier Smith, not signing a retaliatory declaration on the United States – working to protect the economy and job base of Albertans…instead of continuing on with the actual issues that need be resolved:

  1. Border Security;
  2. Reducing Drug Trafficking.

This is what got us here in the first place…but legacy media only seemingly want to fade Justin Trudeau and the Liberal decade of failure, into the background.

If we had a government that wasn’t currently Prorogued, or that caused this through reckless policies in the first place…because of the Liberal Party collapsing due to a non-confidence vote being imminent…the Premiers of every province wouldn’t have had to try and unite…wouldn’t have had to try and put 26% (the largest portion) of the Alberta GDP, up as a lamb to be slaughtered.

“TEAM CANADA”, they screech…

“Smith has committed Treason”, they relent…

And in certain circles…this rage fest, is seemingly getting traction.

A part of this is all due to the Liberal Friendly, Legacy Media…some even due to censorship, where we full well know that through Bill C-63 – The Online Harms Act, throwing you in jail for mean tweets, or having you strapped with an ankle monitor if somebody even believes you are going to shit-post online.

Mark Carney…first to throw his official launch into the melee.

Parachutes into Alberta…where apparently, him and George “The Porch Pirate” Chahal, Thelma and Louised a City of Calgary vehicle, and headed into Redmonton for their Launch Event:

Where…they did invite legacy and alternate media to the event…

And then, through the protection of Edmonton Police Services…selected a few friends to be allowed into the event…while trespassing others off of the property.

Isn’t Edmonton rife enough with Crime that their Police should be focused on, over playing private security, for a Liberal Party Launch…kicking out invited guests?

And then…let’s hop into how incredibly moronic Team Carney is…in botching not only one Logo, but also breaching copyright laws on a second…in 2 days.

Instead of just using the Liberal Party Logo…

Or, are we just supposed to forget that he’s running for Liberal Leadership?

Rightfully, Mark is being ruthlessly mocked online for his Copy Right infringements and lack of creativity…

Image

Freeland…not doing a whole lot better.

Thinking that if she changed her social media profile picture to be more Liberal Red, she’d come off more appealing…and ended up with this:

Dear Lord…this is Nightmare Fuel!

Even more so knowing that she could be the next Prime Minister of Canada, given her absolutely horrific track-record as an MP and deputy PM.

Where it’s only now, that he job is on the line…that she has taken to Axing the Tax, that everybody knows, does not give 8/10 Canadians more back than they contribute:

Image

Both her and Mark have made statements about this…

But they both seemingly allude to the idea, just like the previous last ditch efforts to keep the tax in place but make it more popular by rebranding it, around a year ago…

It’s a bullshit tax…

That will never actually achieve anything close to fixing the weather…

Because planetary temperatures and regional weather are completely dynamic…and are controlled by that large ball of fire in the sky, we refer to as, ‘The Sun’.

It’s hard to believe that there are still some people out there who don’t recognize that when the sun is up, the temperature outside is WARMER and at night time, it’s COOLER…but yet want to blame Soccer Mom’s in their SUVs for heating up the planet.

We could talk about the other no-name failures that haven’t got the traction to even compete in this spud race…

Frank Baylis – Liberal Supporter who got the contract for ventilators that were never approved for use in Canada, that were bought for thousands and sold of as scrap metal.

Chandra Arya – who claims to be fluent in French and English, while cannot speak a word in French and can barely communicate in English…

Karina Gould – who announce her intent to run, in a Tweet on X…and then blocked comments…

But, really…why bother?

Their leadership run is as much of a catastrophe as their rein over Canada, for the last decade.

It’s so terrible, you’d almost think that they are deliberately sabotaging their own chances at winning…where at least 24 Liberal MPs have already decided that they’re going to take some time off of politics, “to spend more time with their families”.

Jasper rebuilding delayed as province waits for federal and local government approvals

From Jason Nixon, MLA for Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre and Alberta’s Minister of Seniors, Community and Social Services on X

Alberta’s government immediately took action to support those who lost their homes in the Jasper wildfire. We were on track to deliver 250 homes, but Alberta cannot do this without land. It’s been radio silence from Ottawa since Premier Danielle Smith sent a letter to the Prime Minister nearly a month ago. Read my full statement
