00:00:20,704 --> 00:00:21,425
Hi, everybody.
2
00:00:21,425 --> 00:00:24,224
Welcome back to another episode of devil's
advocate trades edition.
3
00:00:24,545 --> 00:00:25,585
Good morning, Michael.
4
00:00:25,585 --> 00:00:27,185
Good morning, Lisa, or afternoon.
5
00:00:28,140 --> 00:00:28,859
Listen.
6
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:33,340
No one has to know when we're ready
7
00:00:33,340 --> 00:00:34,219
do this.
8
00:00:34,299 --> 00:00:35,100
Alright.
9
00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:37,500
Michael's kicking us off.
10
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:38,140
Let's go.
11
00:00:38,299 --> 00:00:38,780
Yeah.
12
00:00:38,780 --> 00:00:43,314
So so Mark Carney has announced that they're
gonna be rolling out working with the provinces
13
00:00:43,314 --> 00:00:46,434
to create digital IDs for trades.
14
00:00:47,155 --> 00:00:53,634
The aim allegedly is to ease mobility between
provinces when you're doing different jobs.
15
00:00:54,034 --> 00:00:55,634
So using the Canada login.
16
00:00:56,850 --> 00:01:01,409
But just doing some digging, there's actually
already some apps on the App Store and have
17
00:01:01,409 --> 00:01:03,009
been there for like six months.
18
00:01:03,250 --> 00:01:06,849
So it's just kind of interesting when they
already said, no, we're not doing digital IDs,
19
00:01:06,849 --> 00:01:10,290
which was only three months ago, and now they
are for spring twenty twenty seven.
20
00:01:10,424 --> 00:01:14,344
So it's just kind of an interesting topic as to
how that's going to work.
21
00:01:15,704 --> 00:01:16,905
So I did notice that.
22
00:01:16,905 --> 00:01:22,105
I did notice that he said one thing in January
and then another a few months later, like July
23
00:01:22,105 --> 00:01:23,145
or whatever the fuck it was.
24
00:01:24,689 --> 00:01:27,009
Or I think it was October and then January.
25
00:01:27,009 --> 00:01:31,090
It was not it was a few months in between where
he said one thing and then redacted and said a
26
00:01:31,090 --> 00:01:31,890
complete other.
27
00:01:33,009 --> 00:01:33,569
Okay.
28
00:01:33,569 --> 00:01:37,969
So let's talk about because you've done the
research on this, and this is your kinda
29
00:01:37,969 --> 00:01:38,769
shtick.
30
00:01:38,769 --> 00:01:44,495
So I my questions to you for those that are
listening would be, what do we need to be aware
31
00:01:44,495 --> 00:01:44,974
of?
32
00:01:45,135 --> 00:01:46,254
Pros and cons.
33
00:01:46,254 --> 00:01:47,935
Do you think this is a good thing or a bad
thing?
34
00:01:47,935 --> 00:01:50,974
And that is 100% opinion based for you.
35
00:01:52,219 --> 00:01:56,459
Well, I think one of one of the things to
really kinda dig into is I mean, we know
36
00:01:56,459 --> 00:01:57,980
digital IDs do exist.
37
00:01:57,980 --> 00:02:00,219
I mean, it's it exists in some countries.
38
00:02:00,219 --> 00:02:02,140
Some are tied to a social credit system.
39
00:02:02,219 --> 00:02:05,260
Some are tied to your ability to work, access
to Internet.
40
00:02:06,055 -->

00:02:09,814
And there's a lot of other laws that are coming
out in Canada that do actually have those
41
00:02:09,814 --> 00:02:10,775
provisos.
42
00:02:11,254 --> 00:02:17,415
So my concern is, say for example, in Ontario,
if you get a Red Seal trade, you can just go to
43
00:02:17,415 --> 00:02:19,014
the portal, log in, and it's right there.
44
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:25,189
So what I think the simple solution would be,
okay, just amalgamate all the provinces to be
45
00:02:25,189 --> 00:02:26,710
the same access point.
46
00:02:27,269 --> 00:02:27,590
Right?
47
00:02:27,590 --> 00:02:29,030
And just create a QR code.
48
00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:30,150
Like, you wanna vet yourself?
49
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:30,389
Perfect.
50
00:02:30,389 --> 00:02:31,349
Here's a QR code.
51
00:02:31,349 --> 00:02:32,229
It shows me.
52
00:02:32,229 --> 00:02:33,510
It shows my information.
53
00:02:33,590 --> 00:02:36,525
It's it's done, and it's just for the purpose
of employers.
54
00:02:36,685 --> 00:02:39,564
And employers can sign up for it, and that's
it.
55
00:02:39,965 --> 00:02:44,604
It doesn't have to be why why jump the shark
and go straight to the employee with all that
56
00:02:44,604 --> 00:02:49,245
level of tracking where some of it is actually
gonna be tied to you could use your bank as a
57
00:02:49,245 --> 00:02:52,439
login, which seems a little shady to me.
58
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:55,800
I didn't know that.
59
00:02:57,719 --> 00:02:59,560
So okay.
60
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:06,074
I hear what you're saying, and it makes sense
to do it kind of a national rollout and to have
61
00:03:06,074 --> 00:03:09,834
employers and employees be part of it because
then you kinda know who's who and then
62
00:03:09,834 --> 00:03:14,634
employers for me, when anything's people
driven, I always get a little bit skeptical in
63
00:03:14,634 --> 00:03:15,275
some ways.
64
00:03:15,275 --> 00:03:19,594
I'm not saying that robots should do it, but
there's really never a bias somewhere.
65
00:03:20,074 --> 00:03:25,979
So you and I so I might have glowing things to
say about you, but I could ask somebody else a
66
00:03:25,979 --> 00:03:28,939
question, and they would have nothing nice to
say about you.
67
00:03:29,019 --> 00:03:34,379
But it doesn't speak to your skill, and people
are so overwhelmed with their own emotions and
68
00:03:34,379 --> 00:03:39,844
their experience that they forget to
acknowledge the skill part of it.
69
00:03:39,925 --> 00:03:42,085
So if somebody like I'll give you an example.
70
00:03:42,564 --> 00:03:44,085
There's a guy that I worked with.
71
00:03:44,164 --> 00:03:45,364
He's a complete asshole.
72
00:03:45,364 --> 00:03:45,764
K?
73
00:03:45,764 --> 00:03:48,564
He fucked me out of $23,000 in my business.
74
00:03:48,805 --> 00:03:53,180
And as far as I'm concerned, a person from a
personal perspective, I I have no use for this
75
00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:53,900
individual.
76
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:59,099
But when people ask me about him, I never say
anything bad in the sense of if you're asking
77
00:03:59,099 --> 00:04:02,860
me on skill, I will 100% respond accordingly.
78
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:05,500
If you ask me on personal, I'll say no no
comment.
79
00:04:06,134 --> 00:04:10,534
Because I'm not gonna run around and talk shit
about somebody to the industry.
80
00:04:10,775 --> 00:04:16,375
What I I will talk shit within as an honest so
if I've got good rapports with certain owners
81
00:04:16,375 --> 00:04:18,855
or certain businesses and they say, can you
tell me about this?
82
00:04:18,855 --> 00:04:20,134
I might give them snippets.
83
00:04:20,750 --> 00:04:21,389
Right?
84
00:04:21,389 --> 00:04:25,870
But when it comes to the person's skill and
capability, I would never lie.
85
00:04:25,870 --> 00:04:30,110
Great person, easy to talk to, has an
impeccable amount of skill, knowledge,
86
00:04:30,110 --> 00:04:32,110
understanding of this, this, this, and this.
87
00:04:32,189 --> 00:04:34,750
100%, I would recommend them if this is what
you're going for.
88
00:04:35,845 --> 00:04:38,884
Their personality has nothing to do with their
skill.
89
00:04:38,884 --> 00:04:40,165
Has to do with their attitude.
90
00:04:40,165 --> 00:04:41,444
Has to do with their character.
91
00:04:41,685 --> 00:04:42,324
Yep.
92
00:04:42,644 --> 00:04:43,524
So That's this is.
93
00:04:43,764 --> 00:04:47,204
Nervous when I'm, like, involving employers and
employees.
94
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,120
Right?
95
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,520
Because the employee is looking for a good
review.
96
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:58,280
If you're a an employee that's late all the
time, well, is are they gonna say, well, I
97
00:04:58,280 --> 00:04:58,680
don't know.
98
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,800
I have no comment.
99
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,319
But it's just that you're late all the time.
100
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:02,360
It doesn't speak to your
101
00:05:03,305 --> 00:05:04,439
speak to your live skill.
102
00:05:04,264 --> 00:05:05,144
Hours of apprentice.
103
00:05:05,305 --> 00:05:06,904
ID is just, hey.
104
00:05:06,904 --> 00:05:09,384
I've got my license to do x y z.
105
00:05:09,384 --> 00:05:10,344
That's all it is.
106
00:05:10,344 --> 00:05:10,584
Okay.
107
00:05:10,584 --> 00:05:11,384
So try to So nobody
108
00:05:11,384 --> 00:05:12,824
can nobody can comment.
109
00:05:13,865 --> 00:05:14,664
No comment.
110
00:05:14,664 --> 00:05:18,899
So it basically is just an ID that says, I can
do this.
111
00:05:19,060 --> 00:05:19,379
Yep.
112
00:05:19,379 --> 00:05:24,979
So it's it's it's it's a digital diploma
because apparently, it's so hard to take a
113
00:05:24,979 --> 00:05:28,979
picture and send it because no one knows
technology to be able to take a picture and
114
00:05:28,979 --> 00:05:29,539
send something.
115
00:05:30,285 --> 00:05:35,644
But the verification process, okay, well then
amalgamate the red seal traits across
116
00:05:35,644 --> 00:05:36,365
provinces.
117
00:05:36,365 --> 00:05:42,925
And it doesn't have to be this digital ID with
all this I I assume it's gonna come with track
118
00:05:42,925 --> 00:05:45,004
and trace on it because it's gonna be on your
phone.
119
00:05:45,620 --> 00:05:46,020
Right?
120
00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:50,259
And the question is is will you be penalized as
an employee for not having it?
121
00:05:50,740 --> 00:05:51,060
Right?
122
00:05:51,060 --> 00:05:54,660
So, oh, well, you know, it's harder to look up
the information for this person, so I'm not
123
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:58,100
gonna look them up at all because I actually
have to do some legwork to get my employees,
124
00:05:58,705 --> 00:06:00,785
thus taking you out of the system.
125
00:06:00,785 --> 00:06:05,105
What about people who live in areas that don't
have good Internet connections or choose to use
126
00:06:05,105 --> 00:06:06,944
a flip phone instead of a smartphone?
127
00:06:08,064 --> 00:06:11,025
So I'll tell you where I see the pros and cons
in this.
128
00:06:11,550 --> 00:06:12,269
K?
129
00:06:12,509 --> 00:06:19,229
I think the pros and cons in this are pro,
people now have their people now have it
130
00:06:19,229 --> 00:06:23,149
registered somewhere of what their skilled
trade is and their education.
131
00:06:23,805 --> 00:06:25,324
So it can't be argued.
132
00:06:25,485 --> 00:06:25,884
K?
133
00:06:25,884 --> 00:06:26,444
That's one.
134
00:06:26,444 --> 00:06:27,245
That's pro.
135
00:06:27,245 --> 00:06:33,085
The con in this is all of the older trades.
136
00:06:33,404 --> 00:06:36,444
So when I say older, I mean us, we're older.
137
00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:47,670
A lot of people between the ages of 40, not
all, but a lot in 40, want nothing to do with
138
00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:49,990
the government knowing anything about them.
139
00:06:49,990 --> 00:06:54,365
If they really want something, ask me, but I
don't feel that I need I don't feel that the
140
00:06:54,365 --> 00:06:57,564
need to have to give you something to prove who
I am.
141
00:06:57,564 --> 00:06:58,764
I know what I've got.
142
00:06:58,764 --> 00:07:02,764
If my employer requires it, that's between me
and them, not between me and you.
143
00:07:03,580 --> 00:07:07,980
That is something that I have seen a lot in
Alberta, that it is none of your fucking
144
00:07:07,980 --> 00:07:08,620
business.
145
00:07:09,259 --> 00:07:11,340
You wanna know what I do, ask me.
146
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:16,860
But to make it mandatory, it's gonna it's gonna
put a lot of noses in the air.
147
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:23,645
When I think and it opens up the door to, you
know, the federal and provincial debate about
148
00:07:23,645 --> 00:07:25,965
digital IDs for other workplaces.
149
00:07:26,685 --> 00:07:27,004
Right?
150
00:07:27,004 --> 00:07:31,725
And then digital IDs for social systems and
digital IDs for your driver's license and
151
00:07:31,725 --> 00:07:35,379
digital and digital and digital, where we were
always told that's not gonna happen.
152
00:07:35,379 --> 00:07:36,259
That's not gonna happen.
153
00:07:36,259 --> 00:07:40,339
But going into the trades, I mean, it
represents around 2,000,000 people across
154
00:07:40,339 --> 00:07:40,819
Canada.
155
00:07:40,819 --> 00:07:42,180
That's a lot of people
156
00:07:42,500 --> 00:07:42,819
Mhmm.
157
00:07:42,819 --> 00:07:44,579
That this could potentially affect.
158
00:07:45,379 --> 00:07:50,855
Or I don't know how this is gonna weigh out,
but I think it's a slippery slope, and a lot of
159
00:07:50,855 --> 00:07:53,814
people have concerns when it comes to privacy,
number one.
160
00:07:53,814 --> 00:07:56,535
Number two is control mechanisms.
161
00:07:57,495 --> 00:08:00,375
So hey, if you don't comply, we just wipe out
your digital ID.
162
00:08:00,970 --> 00:08:02,730
So Vietnam was it Vietnam?
163
00:08:02,730 --> 00:08:06,330
I think it was Vietnam was a great case where
they had saw that digital ID rollout, and if
164
00:08:06,330 --> 00:08:09,530
you didn't do it, they just debanked you, so
your bank accounts were just deleted.
165
00:08:10,089 --> 00:08:10,810
Right?
166
00:08:11,210 --> 00:08:13,210
So, like, these are things to have real
concerns about.
167
00:08:13,210 --> 00:08:18,104
When you make everything digital, you're giving
away a lot of control rather than, You know
168
00:08:18,104 --> 00:08:18,584
what?
169
00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:20,185
I like the diploma on the wall.
170
00:08:20,185 --> 00:08:21,225
I like that kind of stuff.
171
00:08:21,225 --> 00:08:22,345
I like that paper copy.
172
00:08:22,345 --> 00:08:24,024
I like having my physical ID.
173
00:08:25,225 --> 00:08:29,144
Don't trust me personally, I don't trust the
government enough.
174
00:08:30,029 --> 00:08:35,629
One of the things they talked about for the
Canada login portal is, well, instead of having
175
00:08:35,629 --> 00:08:39,389
to access it through different logins and
different emails and passwords and stuff like
176
00:08:39,389 --> 00:08:41,549
that, oh no, you have to remember passwords.
177
00:08:41,549 --> 00:08:44,990
Like, I don't know, our 18 different social
medias we use, it's not hard.
178
00:08:45,835 --> 00:08:46,235
Right?
179
00:08:46,235 --> 00:08:46,634
Yeah.
180
00:08:46,634 --> 00:08:51,274
But if there's a data leak, one password gives
you access to everything.
181
00:08:52,075 --> 00:08:56,475
So why would you shrink it all down to a single
point of access where actually having multiple
182
00:08:56,475 --> 00:08:58,794
points of access from a security standpoint, I
believe, is better.
183
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:00,440
Agreed.
184
00:09:00,839 --> 00:09:06,600
So I'll tell you where like, this is kind of
like how they're amalgamating all of our IDs in
185
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,399
Alberta.
186
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:08,440
K?
187
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:14,440
So they're putting our our health care and our
passport numbers on our IDs is what they're
188
00:09:14,440 -->
00:09:15,159
moving towards.
189
00:09:15,695 --> 00:09:19,535
Right now, I've only really heard about just
the medical.
190
00:09:19,695 --> 00:09:19,934
K?
191
00:09:19,934 --> 00:09:21,855
Your medical your your health care number.
192
00:09:22,095 --> 00:09:25,215
I'm gonna tell you why I'm so fucking opposed
to this.
193
00:09:25,535 --> 00:09:29,695
Because if you lose your ID, your biggest
concern was that somebody knew where you
194
00:09:29,695 --> 00:09:30,335
fucking lived.
195
00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:31,399
Right.
196
00:09:31,799 --> 00:09:35,000
You lose that ID, and it can be lost for many
reasons.
197
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,519
It just fell out of your purse.
198
00:09:36,759 --> 00:09:37,720
You put something down.
199
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,519
Someone stole it.
200
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:40,679
Someone broke in somewhere and stole whatever.
201
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,039
You lose that ID.
202
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,845
You are now calling every single aspect in your
life so that someone doesn't steal your
203
00:09:46,845 --> 00:09:47,325
identity.
204
00:09:47,325 --> 00:09:51,485
You've just made it easy to steal your identity
off one piece of plastic.
205
00:09:52,125 --> 00:09:52,845
Right.
206
00:09:53,804 --> 00:09:57,004
Identity theft is something that has happened
for a long time.
207
00:09:57,245 --> 00:09:59,245
Why do we keep making it easier for people?
208
00:10:01,459 --> 00:10:06,019
So people who work their whole lives have
impeccable credit, have money in the bank, have
209
00:10:06,019 --> 00:10:10,659
mortgages paid off, all of a sudden, a year
goes by because they lost their license one
210
00:10:10,659 --> 00:10:14,419
day, and they, you know, they let everyone know
and everything, but then it doesn't negate the
211
00:10:14,419 --> 00:10:19,345
fact that now somebody's out there in another
country or in another province racking it up,
212
00:10:19,904 --> 00:10:21,105
pretending to be them.
213
00:10:21,424 --> 00:10:23,264
And then how do they fix that?
214
00:10:23,264 --> 00:10:26,705
From what I understand in a lot of identity
cases, you don't get that back.
215
00:10:26,705 --> 00:10:28,945
You don't get that super figured out.
216
00:10:28,945 --> 00:10:30,144
It's like, well, you gotta pay it.
217
00:10:30,144 --> 00:10:30,544
Sorry.
218
00:10:30,544 --> 00:10:31,345
Fuck you.
219
00:10:31,659 --> 00:10:36,299
You might have an insurance that might cover
portions, but it doesn't negate the fact that
220
00:10:36,299 --> 00:10:40,860
you've just worked your whole life to watch one
person completely destroy it.
221
00:10:41,340 --> 00:10:47,504
Because once upon a time, you fucking left your
license at a bar or someone stole your license.
222
00:10:48,625 --> 00:10:49,184
Yep.
223
00:10:49,184 --> 00:10:50,304
I'm not a fan of that.
224
00:10:50,304 --> 00:10:55,345
So when I talk about digital IDs, I get very
fucking nervous about digital there's so many
225
00:10:55,345 --> 00:10:59,504
things being digitized already, like my medical
records, this, and the other thing.
226
00:10:59,504 --> 00:11:01,985
I can go in and access my medical records at
any time.
227
00:11:02,759 --> 00:11:03,159
Right.
228
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:05,159
So that's the other part of it.
229
00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:07,399
Because now there's the Alberta ID.
230
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:09,399
So they want you all to be on an Alberta ID.
231
00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,320
What happens when you're not on Alberta ID?
232
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,839
What happens when I say no to the license?
233
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,919
Does that mean I don't get to drive anymore?
234
00:11:18,105 --> 00:11:19,225
You know what I mean?
235
00:11:19,225 --> 00:11:22,585
Like, does that mean that I now lose access to
a whole bunch of different things because I
236
00:11:22,585 --> 00:11:24,904
don't wanna comply with your stupid ass
government rules?
237
00:11:25,384 --> 00:11:25,945
That's what's coming in.
238
00:11:25,945 --> 00:11:28,184
I mean, that's what's happening in other
countries right now.
239
00:11:28,264 --> 00:11:28,665
Right?
240
00:11:28,665 --> 00:11:29,544
And they're like, yeah.
241
00:11:29,544 --> 00:11:33,759
You don't have to comply, and you can't drive,
and you can't bank, and you can't work, and you
242
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:34,480
can't do this,
243
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:34,639
and you
244
00:11:34,639 --> 00:11:34,799
can't
245
00:11:34,799 --> 00:11:36,000
do But that's my point, Michael.
246
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,440
We're we live in Canada.
247
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,159
People who live in North America, it's supposed
to be they they preach inside of our own
248
00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:46,399
national anthems of freedom.
249
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:48,639
I don't see anything fucking free about what
you guys are doing.
250
00:11:49,654 --> 00:11:50,054
No.
251
00:11:50,054 --> 00:11:51,095
I did the government Doesn't sound
252
00:11:51,095 --> 00:11:52,214
very free to me.
253
00:11:52,214 --> 00:11:53,975
Doesn't sound like freedom of speech.
254
00:11:53,975 --> 00:11:55,894
Doesn't sound like freedom of fucking anything.
255
00:11:55,894 --> 00:11:59,574
It sounds like we wanna know everything, so at
any point in time, we can fucking threaten you
256
00:11:59,574 --> 00:12:03,095
to shut the fuck up and do what you're told
because we have all the things on you that we
257
00:12:03,095 --> 00:12:03,254
need.
258
00:12:03,419 --> 00:12:04,539
That's what that sounds like.
259
00:12:04,539 --> 00:12:08,779
That sounds like backing some having enough
ammunition to back somebody into corner,
260
00:12:08,779 --> 00:12:11,820
whether you're in a trades ID, whether you're
in a medical ID, whether you're putting new
261
00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:12,299
license.
262
00:12:12,299 --> 00:12:17,100
It sounds like you are taking control of that
person and their livelihood in one way, shape,
263
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:20,825
or form so that you can
back them into a corner
at any point you want.
264
00:12:21,144 --> 00:12:21,384
And I
265
00:12:21,384 --> 00:12:22,264
don't think they.
266
00:12:22,264 --> 00:12:25,065
When I say they, so it doesn't sound like I'm
do I'm not doing this.
267
00:12:25,225 --> 00:12:26,105
They are doing this.
268
00:12:26,105 --> 00:12:26,904
I'm just saying.
269
00:12:26,904 --> 00:12:31,960
I'm just I'm hard pressed to believe that, oh
god, I know you're on the same page with me.
270
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,639
Like, you're you're you're always conflicted.
271
00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:35,080
When it comes to digital, you're like, yes.
272
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,960
When it comes to taking over freedoms and
control, you're like, fuck you.
273
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,200
No.
274
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,160
You've always been like that.
275
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,000
You don't like control and freedoms.
276
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,519
You like easier access.
277
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:46,335
You like people to be able to do things that
make more sense, that there's a, work smarter,
278
00:12:46,335 --> 00:12:46,815
not harder.
279
00:12:46,815 --> 00:12:48,095
That's kind of your motto.
280
00:12:48,095 --> 00:12:52,894
But when it starts to infringe on freedoms and
privacy, you're very like, fuck you.
281
00:12:53,215 --> 00:12:56,654
So I don't think you're necessarily on the
other side of this than me.
282
00:12:56,735 --> 00:13:00,414
I like personal and free enterprise to do it
because it's it's a choice to do it.
283
00:13:00,809 --> 00:13:04,570
Rather than a mandate or a law or something
else like that.
284
00:13:04,570 --> 00:13:06,649
And there is a difference between a mandate and
a law.
285
00:13:07,049 --> 00:13:09,929
If you get mandated to do it, doesn't mean you
have to do it.
286
00:13:09,929 --> 00:13:13,690
A mandate requires a mandateee and a mandator,
so an acceptance of it.
287
00:13:13,690 --> 00:13:15,450
So if it's a mandate, you do not have to do it.
288
00:13:15,804 --> 00:13:19,965
But will you lose capabilities because you
chose not to do it?
289
00:13:19,965 --> 00:13:20,524
Possibly.
290
00:13:21,085 --> 00:13:25,404
So but my doing research on this is I was
really concerned because there's a bunch of
291
00:13:25,404 --> 00:13:25,884
different things.
292
00:13:25,884 --> 00:13:27,804
You have GC wallet.
293
00:13:27,804 --> 00:13:29,085
You have GC verify.
294
00:13:29,450 --> 00:13:30,730
You have browser logins.
295
00:13:30,730 --> 00:13:31,769
You have phone apps.
296
00:13:31,769 --> 00:13:32,970
You have Canada login.
297
00:13:32,970 --> 00:13:35,769
You have a GC Key and other identity providers.
298
00:13:35,929 --> 00:13:40,490
You have credential you have credential issuers
websites that you can go log in to.
299
00:13:40,490 --> 00:13:41,929
Then you have the provincial registries.
300
00:13:41,929 --> 00:13:43,529
Then you have a new employer software.
301
00:13:44,024 --> 00:13:50,184
And I mean, the amount of potential to open
this up and have issues by making it a single
302
00:13:50,184 --> 00:13:55,144
access point just seems so absolutely crazy to
me.
303
00:13:55,785 --> 00:13:56,024
Right?
304
00:13:56,024 --> 00:14:00,919
I mean, like, if you if you have if say for
example, for trades, perfect example, it's a
305
00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:01,639
diploma.
306
00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:05,319
It's a diploma you can have on your wall, take
a picture and send it.
307
00:14:05,319 --> 00:14:09,319
If the employer wants to check into it, it's
their due diligence to check into it, pushing
308
00:14:09,319 --> 00:14:16,085
it to the employee that's gonna be probably on
your phone, and it's going to have location
309
00:14:16,085 --> 00:14:18,004
based services required.
310
00:14:19,684 --> 00:14:25,125
I guarantee I would put money on it that it's
gonna have location based services required,
311
00:14:25,125 --> 00:14:26,644
which means they know where you are at all
times.
312
00:14:26,759 --> 00:14:28,440
That's not something I wanna share.
313
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,799
That's not something I wanna share with my
friends, let alone the government.
314
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,600
And it's not to hide anything because people
are like, what do you got to hide?
315
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,559
It's not about hiding something.
316
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:36,519
It's just right to privacy.
317
00:14:39,095 --> 00:14:40,615
I hear you.
318
00:14:40,615 --> 00:14:44,855
I'm just in the I'm like, my brain is going
into a headspace of, wow, you guys really wanna
319
00:14:44,855 --> 00:14:49,175
put all this money into a tracking system for
trades when you should be putting into a
320
00:14:49,175 --> 00:14:51,254
tracking system of pedophiles.
321
00:14:52,295 --> 00:14:53,335
Kinda kinda interesting.
322
00:14:53,335 --> 00:14:53,415
Right?
323
00:14:53,610 --> 00:14:54,169
Yeah.
324
00:14:54,169 --> 00:14:54,809
It is.
325
00:14:54,809 --> 00:14:55,129
It is.
326
00:14:55,129 --> 00:14:58,490
We don't we don't have a pedophile registry
that you can access to make sure you're moving
327
00:14:58,490 --> 00:14:59,529
into a safe neighborhood.
328
00:14:59,529 --> 00:15:00,250
We don't have that.
329
00:15:00,250 --> 00:15:03,049
But you gotta know where all the trades people
are, especially if they're working inter
330
00:15:03,049 --> 00:15:03,769
provincially.
331
00:15:04,009 --> 00:15:04,490
Right?
332
00:15:05,690 --> 00:15:06,250
Stupid.
333
00:15:06,975 --> 00:15:07,375
Right?
334
00:15:07,375 --> 00:15:12,095
And and the problem is is so some softwares,
when they do updates and they push updates,
335
00:15:12,095 --> 00:15:16,254
firmware updates, hard updates, rules updates,
that type of stuff like that, some don't let
336
00:15:16,254 --> 00:15:16,654
you know.
337
00:15:16,654 --> 00:15:20,654
And I'm worried, like usually happens with the
government, is something will change and they
338
00:15:20,654 --> 00:15:21,294
don't tell you.
339
00:15:21,294 --> 00:15:23,129
It just changes and you're expected to know.
340
00:15:23,129 --> 00:15:25,610
Because ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
341
00:15:26,410 --> 00:15:26,730
Right?
342
00:15:26,730 --> 00:15:31,129
And if it suddenly becomes law that, hey, this
is now required, right, which it could
343
00:15:31,129 --> 00:15:37,995
eventually be, if not almost immediately,
That's that I think is is is silly.
344
00:15:38,235 --> 00:15:45,674
A silly control mechanism, especially in a
sector where most people love their freedoms.
345
00:15:45,754 --> 00:15:47,674
They love being independent.
346
00:15:47,674 --> 00:15:52,279
They love having that freedom of choice and
don't like generally government oversight.
347
00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:57,799
That's typically when I'm around tradespeople,
that's the types of conversations.
348
00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:00,679
And now you wanna put it in that sector
particularly?
349
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:01,399
Yeah.
350
00:16:02,375 --> 00:16:04,535
Why why that particular sector?
351
00:16:04,855 --> 00:16:05,174
It's a
352
00:16:05,174 --> 00:16:05,335
great point.
353
00:16:05,335 --> 00:16:07,014
Why not all diploma systems?
354
00:16:07,575 --> 00:16:09,254
That's a good point.
355
00:16:09,254 --> 00:16:11,575
Why aren't all diplomas just registered with
the government?
356
00:16:11,575 --> 00:16:15,414
The government hosts it on a website, and if an
employer wants to check it, they go in, they
357
00:16:15,414 --> 00:16:17,735
put the person's information in and their SIN
number.
358
00:16:17,949 --> 00:16:18,589
Done.
359
00:16:19,309 --> 00:16:20,669
No one needs an app.
360
00:16:20,669 --> 00:16:22,110
No one needs anything else.
361
00:16:22,829 --> 00:16:23,950
It's just finished.
362
00:16:24,669 --> 00:16:28,589
It just seems like every time I turn around,
that's what employers are doing already
363
00:16:28,589 --> 00:16:29,149
anyways.
364
00:16:29,149 --> 00:16:29,549
It's like they were
365
00:16:29,549 --> 00:16:30,589
like, oh, we want you
366
00:16:30,589 --> 00:16:32,190
to take this phone so we can track you.
367
00:16:32,190 --> 00:16:32,990
And it's like, fuck off.
368
00:16:33,544 --> 00:16:34,184
Right.
369
00:16:34,184 --> 00:16:35,065
Do you know what I mean?
370
00:16:35,065 --> 00:16:40,825
It's like, where I choose to go is none of your
business.
371
00:16:40,985 --> 00:16:41,625
Right.
372
00:16:41,944 --> 00:16:42,904
Off time.
373
00:16:43,304 --> 00:16:48,620
So you wanna put a GPS in my vehicle, like in
the vehicle you're providing with for me, then
374
00:16:48,620 --> 00:16:52,700
you get to see what I do during the day, and
you get to see that I park at home.
375
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:55,500
After that, it's none of your fucking business
what I'm doing.
376
00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:59,899
And the fact that you want a tracking mechanism
on a phone, you better be supplying the phone
377
00:16:59,899 --> 00:17:01,740
because the phone's sitting in the fucking
truck.
378
00:17:01,820 --> 00:17:02,139
Yep.
379
00:17:03,004 --> 00:17:05,325
Like, to me, it's it's too invasive.
380
00:17:05,325 --> 00:17:05,884
You know?
381
00:17:07,164 --> 00:17:08,924
It's just far too invasive these days.
382
00:17:08,924 --> 00:17:14,125
It's like everybody wants it's like everybody
just wants to know everything as a controlling
383
00:17:14,125 --> 00:17:17,329
mechanism, which is kind of interesting because
this is what's kinda creeped up in my life
384
00:17:17,329 --> 00:17:19,329
lately is the controlling mechanism.
385
00:17:19,329 --> 00:17:19,730
Yep.
386
00:17:19,730 --> 00:17:28,289
And it's like, there is elements of the optics
of control and elements of not, and how you
387
00:17:28,529 --> 00:17:30,769
maneuver those controlling tactics.
388
00:17:30,769 --> 00:17:33,394
Because you and I talked about trust.
389
00:17:33,474 --> 00:17:34,035
Right?
390
00:17:34,355 --> 00:17:38,914
So I think control is a really great topic to
delve into on this side.
391
00:17:38,914 --> 00:17:42,914
Because for me, this topic that you're talking
about, we need more information.
392
00:17:43,650 --> 00:17:45,490
They're just popping off right now.
393
00:17:45,490 --> 00:17:46,609
It's really limited.
394
00:17:46,609 --> 00:17:50,289
Like, Carney's saying, like, launching in
spring of twenty twenty seven, that's not that
395
00:17:50,289 --> 00:17:54,369
far away, and the information is so few and far
between to find.
396
00:17:54,369 --> 00:17:59,345
Like, you know, like, when a check is done, is
that going to log a bunch of information?
397
00:17:59,345 --> 00:17:59,585
Right?
398
00:17:59,585 --> 00:18:05,345
Like, is it gonna is it gonna log the employer,
the verifier, date, time, IP address every time
399
00:18:05,345 --> 00:18:06,465
the credential's checked?
400
00:18:06,465 --> 00:18:12,429
Do you gotta do you need can you can you deny
Bluetooth, camera, or other permissions on that
401
00:18:12,429 --> 00:18:12,909
app?
402
00:18:12,909 --> 00:18:13,710
I don't know.
403
00:18:13,789 --> 00:18:18,909
Are they gonna show the third party validation
and source code for this actual application?
404
00:18:19,069 --> 00:18:20,190
Probably not.
405
00:18:20,429 --> 00:18:24,109
And we know how it worked with the COVID track
and trace app.
406
00:18:24,269 --> 00:18:26,755
That cluster of wasted money, what was it?
407
00:18:26,755 --> 00:18:30,755
$400,000,000, something crazy, and then another
company built in on the weekend with three
408
00:18:30,755 --> 00:18:31,394
guys?
409
00:18:31,795 --> 00:18:34,035
Where's that money gonna go?
410
00:18:34,035 --> 00:18:35,075
Who's it being spent with?
411
00:18:35,075 --> 00:18:36,275
Was it bidded on?
412
00:18:36,275 --> 00:18:37,875
Where was the vote for this?
413
00:18:37,875 --> 00:18:39,795
I don't remember there being a vote for this.
414
00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:41,080
Right?
415
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,160
It's just it's just all kinda happening.
416
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:43,720
Right?
417
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:43,880
Yeah.
418
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,079
It's a big it's a big change for it to just
happen.
419
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,240
Well, and that's and I think that what you're
asking is are great questions.
420
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:51,559
Right?
421
00:18:51,559 --> 00:18:58,455
Because it's like control says you have to
change, and us responding wanna put boundaries
422
00:18:58,455 --> 00:19:03,095
to say things like, well, I won't participate
under these conditions, which then comes back
423
00:19:03,095 --> 00:19:05,015
to what's the retaliation?
424
00:19:05,015 --> 00:19:05,255
Mhmm.
425
00:19:05,255 --> 00:19:07,654
What's the consequences of us saying no?
426
00:19:09,349 --> 00:19:10,789
That's really what it comes down to.
427
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:15,029
Need more we need more clarity around the whole
system itself.
428
00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:16,470
Like you said, there's not a lot.
429
00:19:16,470 --> 00:19:18,149
There's, like, little tidbits here and there.
430
00:19:18,149 --> 00:19:20,630
They're not really giving you the whole meat
and potatoes.
431
00:19:21,125 --> 00:19:27,045
And I think what fear where the fear lies for
both of us, of the politician in place, because
432
00:19:27,045 --> 00:19:32,404
I'm not looking at the politician, I'm looking
at what's being put forward from a political
433
00:19:32,404 --> 00:19:32,965
standpoint.
434
00:19:32,965 --> 00:19:39,460
And I'm saying to myself, are you going to
release the information prior to dropping this?
435
00:19:39,460 --> 00:19:39,779
Probably not.
436
00:19:40,099 --> 00:19:44,980
If you don't, then what you're what you're
doing is you are strong arming everybody.
437
00:19:44,980 --> 00:19:46,500
You know how many trades have been browbeat?
438
00:19:46,500 --> 00:19:47,619
These guys are all used to it.
439
00:19:47,619 --> 00:19:49,779
So at this point, they're probably gonna tell
you to fuck off.
440
00:19:49,865 --> 00:19:51,945
And there's probably gonna be a lot of them
that don't do it.
441
00:19:51,945 --> 00:19:55,705
And, you know, governments and municipalities
and all levels, I should say, all levels of
442
00:19:55,705 --> 00:19:58,904
government pull this shit where they're like,
we're gonna do this, and you're gonna have to
443
00:19:58,904 --> 00:19:59,464
do this.
444
00:19:59,625 --> 00:20:04,744
And so what comes to my brain right away is
who's policing it?
445
00:20:06,049 --> 00:20:07,970
Well, that's that's where it comes down to.
446
00:20:07,970 --> 00:20:08,210
Right?
447
00:20:08,210 --> 00:20:14,289
So, like, who's responsible when a compromised
verified device or anything exposes the
448
00:20:14,289 --> 00:20:16,609
workers' information, the employer, province?
449
00:20:17,265 --> 00:20:18,865
Is it the federal government?
450
00:20:18,865 --> 00:20:20,144
Is it the province?
451
00:20:20,224 --> 00:20:21,345
Is it the employer?
452
00:20:21,345 --> 00:20:22,544
Is it
the employee?
453
00:20:22,545 --> 00:20:23,664
Is it their phone?
454
00:20:23,984 --> 00:20:25,744
Who's responsible if there's a data breach?
455
00:20:26,464 --> 00:20:30,305
Because if there's a data breach, absolutely, I
mean, people should be able to phish for a
456
00:20:30,305 --> 00:20:30,865
payout.
457
00:20:30,990 --> 00:20:31,390
Right?
458
00:20:31,390 --> 00:20:33,549
Because now that what if you're using the same
password?
459
00:20:33,549 --> 00:20:35,069
Will it be a provided password?
460
00:20:35,309 --> 00:20:35,549
Yeah.
461
00:20:35,549 --> 00:20:36,509
I don't know.
462
00:20:36,509 --> 00:20:40,349
This is all stupid when you could just have an
open database.
463
00:20:40,750 --> 00:20:41,470
Just open.
464
00:20:41,470 --> 00:20:43,710
I mean, it's so different than if you're a
doctor or anything else.
465
00:20:43,710 --> 00:20:43,869
Right?
466
00:20:43,869 --> 00:20:44,589
You get somebody's name.
467
00:20:44,589 --> 00:20:46,269
You can look up to see whether or not they're
an actual doctor.
468
00:20:46,914 --> 00:20:48,994
You can look up to see whether or they actually
have those credentials.
469
00:20:48,994 --> 00:20:51,474
You can already do that with Red Seal Trades in
Ontario.
470
00:20:51,634 --> 00:20:57,394
Places like Saskatchewan, a little bit more
wishy washy, but then force Saskatchewan to
471
00:20:57,394 --> 00:21:00,115
mimic the other provinces where it's a simple
search database.
472
00:21:01,589 --> 00:21:06,470
I can't I'm I'm having a hard time because I
know that there's unions out here for welders
473
00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:10,470
and and I believe electricians and carpentry.
474
00:21:10,630 --> 00:21:13,605
Like, I know that there's there's unions.
475
00:21:13,924 --> 00:21:16,244
So could you not just check with the union?
476
00:21:16,244 --> 00:21:18,884
I don't know what the where their PIPA laws
stand for that.
477
00:21:18,884 --> 00:21:19,445
If they're like, hey.
478
00:21:19,445 --> 00:21:20,085
Just need to check.
479
00:21:20,085 --> 00:21:22,724
Is this person a part of this union?
480
00:21:23,285 --> 00:21:23,525
Yeah.
481
00:21:23,525 --> 00:21:26,005
When you do a union check, you can just check
with the union.
482
00:21:26,005 --> 00:21:30,390
But if you're checking for actual credentials,
like graduated from college, right, as a red
483
00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:30,789
suit You
484
00:21:30,630 --> 00:21:32,549
You can't be part of the union without it.
485
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:33,349
Right.
486
00:21:33,349 --> 00:21:35,910
Well, but did the how's the union vetting it?
487
00:21:35,910 --> 00:21:36,150
Right?
488
00:21:36,150 --> 00:21:41,829
So the the whole idea is to make it easy for
the hirer and the employee, right, employee
489
00:21:41,829 --> 00:21:43,190
employer to moot easier.
490
00:21:44,204 --> 00:21:48,444
When you graduate or you sign up for your first
year, awesome.
491
00:21:48,444 --> 00:21:49,004
Congratulations.
492
00:21:49,085 --> 00:21:51,085
Here's your first year, you're a first year
apprentice.
493
00:21:51,085 --> 00:21:52,204
Here's your QR code.
494
00:21:52,204 --> 00:21:53,964
We'll keep it updated on our end.
495
00:21:53,964 --> 00:21:58,044
Here's your laminated QR code that you can
share with anyone, anytime to prove your
496
00:21:58,044 --> 00:21:58,444
credentials.
497
00:21:58,759 --> 00:22:02,600
Which also means an inspector comes by and you
just go, here.
498
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,240
And they go, boop.
499
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,119
And it goes, awesome.
500
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:04,759
There's your picture.
501
00:22:04,759 --> 00:22:07,880
You update your picture every five years like
you do with your driver's license.
502
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:08,519
There's your picture.
503
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:09,320
There's your credentials.
504
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:09,880
Done.
505
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:10,519
So easy.
506
00:22:11,085 --> 00:22:12,524
It's so easy.
507
00:22:12,845 --> 00:22:14,604
I don't understand what the problem is.
508
00:22:14,924 --> 00:22:19,404
All it is is just name, photo, and what what
credentials they have.
509
00:22:19,404 --> 00:22:19,804
That's it.
510
00:22:19,804 --> 00:22:20,364
Done.
511
00:22:20,605 --> 00:22:20,924
Mhmm.
512
00:22:20,924 --> 00:22:22,764
You don't need a digital ID.
513
00:22:23,005 --> 00:22:30,809
This ID, I guarantee you, is it is bait for
what's going to be happening.
514
00:22:30,809 --> 00:22:34,890
And if the adoption rate is reasonable, they'll
start rolling it out into other sectors, maybe
515
00:22:34,890 --> 00:22:36,329
even nationwide for everything.
516
00:22:36,329 --> 00:22:37,049
All employment.
517
00:22:37,049 --> 00:22:42,205
Maybe all employment gets done that way, Not
just interprovincial I'm
518
00:22:42,205 --> 00:22:42,845
looking it up.
519
00:22:42,845 --> 00:22:43,884
Give me a second.
520
00:22:46,605 --> 00:22:48,125
So it's it's it's a I'm looking
521
00:22:48,125 --> 00:22:51,325
it up for, like well, I'm looking it up for
Alberta, obviously.
522
00:22:51,325 --> 00:22:56,180
Alberta journey person certification,
interprovincial red seal, or recognized trade
523
00:22:56,180 --> 00:23:00,259
credential in Alberta from another Canadian
jurisdiction, the military, or specific
524
00:23:00,259 --> 00:23:02,419
international union trading program.
525
00:23:03,220 --> 00:23:08,180
So the so you have to provide your credentials
in order to be part of these unions.
526
00:23:08,755 --> 00:23:13,474
So the Alberta Journeyperson certification
proves completion of the required on the job
527
00:23:13,474 --> 00:23:17,954
hours and technical training, red seal
endorsement, interprovincial standard allowing
528
00:23:17,954 --> 00:23:25,940
certified trades people to participate across
Canada, Trades qualifier program approved out
529
00:23:25,940 --> 00:23:28,179
of province union certification.
530
00:23:31,059 --> 00:23:32,339
So yeah.
531
00:23:32,339 --> 00:23:40,044
Because
they oversee so joining of joining or
forming a trade union, there's so many hoops
532
00:23:40,044 --> 00:23:41,005
you have to get through.
533
00:23:41,005 --> 00:23:44,125
It's not just like, oh, I did this, and here's
my little piece of paper.
534
00:23:44,125 --> 00:23:45,565
It's like they check.
535
00:23:45,724 --> 00:23:46,364
Yeah.
536
00:23:47,244 --> 00:23:48,444
They do their due diligence.
537
00:23:48,444 --> 00:23:49,244
They vet it.
538
00:23:49,484 --> 00:23:53,644
And and there are certain documents that have
to be provided for vetting.
539
00:23:54,190 --> 00:23:54,829
Right.
540
00:23:54,990 --> 00:23:55,630
Right?
541
00:23:55,950 --> 00:24:00,750
So if you're like, oh, I got this diploma
somewhere in, like, a college unknown.
542
00:24:00,750 --> 00:24:01,869
They're like, mm-mm.
543
00:24:02,830 --> 00:24:07,070
So they have prerequisite colleges and
university and trade schools that they
544
00:24:07,070 --> 00:24:07,630
acknowledge.
545
00:24:08,125 --> 00:24:08,525
Right.
546
00:24:08,525 --> 00:24:13,244
So if you worked in a trade school that's not
listed in an international database that
547
00:24:13,244 --> 00:24:19,004
actually has, like, a a rating system for the
trades, they don't recognize you.
548
00:24:19,164 --> 00:24:21,244
But this is all trade schools in Canada.
549
00:24:21,244 --> 00:24:22,284
It's not international.
550
00:24:22,284 --> 00:24:23,325
This is strictly different
551
00:24:23,325 --> 00:24:23,964
for in Canada.
552
00:24:24,419 --> 00:24:24,740
Fair.
553
00:24:24,740 --> 00:24:28,500
But there's lots of trade schools in Canada
that don't have the same recognition because
554
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:30,259
they might not have the same output.
555
00:24:31,379 --> 00:24:32,259
I don't know.
556
00:24:32,259 --> 00:24:32,980
I couldn't tell you.
557
00:24:32,980 --> 00:24:34,099
I'm just I'm just saying.
558
00:24:34,099 --> 00:24:38,484
There's lots of educational and training
schools out there.
559
00:24:38,565 --> 00:24:44,484
But if they're not recognized or accredited or
certified as an actual trade school, they don't
560
00:24:44,484 --> 00:24:45,525
get recognized.
561
00:24:46,005 --> 00:24:48,805
So when you go to a union, they're like, who's
that?
562
00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:51,720
Gonna need to see all your logs.
563
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,400
I'm gonna need to look into this this college,
allegedly.
564
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,559
And maybe they look into the college and it's a
good college, but no one's ever come out of it.
565
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:00,359
Right.
566
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:01,480
They might deny you.
567
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,559
They might get the college to jump through
hoops.
568
00:25:04,865 --> 00:25:05,664
I don't know.
569
00:25:06,945 --> 00:25:07,585
I I don't know.
570
00:25:07,585 --> 00:25:12,625
But what I'm saying to you is that at the end
of the day, there is a process for you to be
571
00:25:12,625 --> 00:25:13,825
part of these unions.
572
00:25:13,825 --> 00:25:16,384
And I don't know if I agree with this digital
ID.
573
00:25:16,384 --> 00:25:20,089
I don't know if I think this is a tabs to keep
track of people that are moving through the
574
00:25:20,089 --> 00:25:20,809
provinces.
575
00:25:21,210 --> 00:25:26,410
I think this is also a bit of an effort to and
I'm just gonna throw it out there because it's
576
00:25:26,410 --> 00:25:29,289
my opinion because, you know, there's always a
correlation of things.
577
00:25:29,690 --> 00:25:35,825
There's a lot of new immigration into Canada,
and I think they wanna keep tabs of where
578
00:25:35,825 --> 00:25:37,105
they're spanning across.
579
00:25:37,345 --> 00:25:39,424
I don't I don't know if that's true because I
mean
580
00:25:39,505 --> 00:25:39,825
I do.
581
00:25:39,825 --> 00:25:42,304
I think they wanna stay at 300,000.
582
00:25:42,305 --> 00:25:46,065
Now I might get in trouble according to c nine
by saying this, the new law.
583
00:25:46,619 --> 00:25:51,019
But there's like 300,000 people who didn't show
up to their deportation hearings.
584
00:25:51,420 --> 00:25:52,779
Do you think they're looking for them?
585
00:25:52,779 --> 00:25:54,619
Do you think they're doing anything about it?
586
00:25:55,339 --> 00:25:56,299
Nothing I've Deep
587
00:25:57,579 --> 00:25:59,660
down inside my little liberal heart hopes so.
588
00:26:01,015 --> 00:26:02,214
I don't think so.
589
00:26:03,894 --> 00:26:08,455
And and while they're on deportation status,
they're still receiving everything that they
590
00:26:08,455 --> 00:26:08,855
were receiving.
591
00:26:08,934 --> 00:26:10,455
On deportation status?
592
00:26:10,455 --> 00:26:11,335
Let's start there.
593
00:26:11,335 --> 00:26:11,815
Do you know?
594
00:26:11,815 --> 00:26:13,654
I there could be a million different reasons.
595
00:26:13,654 --> 00:26:13,815
K.
596
00:26:14,190 --> 00:26:19,069
I wanna believe that Canada is not as frivolous
to think, well, they're on deportation status.
597
00:26:19,069 --> 00:26:20,749
That in itself is important.
598
00:26:20,990 --> 00:26:23,549
But what's more important is why.
599
00:26:23,549 --> 00:26:25,710
Did have they just overstayed their visa?
600
00:26:25,710 --> 00:26:28,029
Have they decided that they're gonna start
working when they shouldn't be?
601
00:26:28,325 --> 00:26:30,085
Or are they a fucking criminal?
602
00:26:30,325 --> 00:26:31,684
That's what I'm gonna pay attention to.
603
00:26:31,684 --> 00:26:36,724
If someone worked in Canada when they shouldn't
have, nay nay, you gotta go back home.
604
00:26:36,964 --> 00:26:39,684
I'm not I'm gonna tend to kinda be like, man,
they gotta make a living.
605
00:26:39,684 --> 00:26:40,724
They've here for a while.
606
00:26:40,724 --> 00:26:41,365
They wanted to try.
607
00:26:41,365 --> 00:26:41,684
Still a crime.
608
00:26:42,079 --> 00:26:46,319
They tried to fucking sneak through and and and
see if anybody fucking noticed.
609
00:26:46,319 --> 00:26:47,039
You
know I mean?
610
00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:50,079
It's kind of one of those things where I'm
like, is it bad?
611
00:26:50,079 --> 00:26:50,400
Sure.
612
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:50,799
It's bad.
613
00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:52,880
Am am I gonna chastise somebody for it?
614
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:53,039
No.
615
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:53,680
Not bad.
616
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,480
It's not bad.
617
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,039
It's a crime.
618
00:26:55,545 --> 00:26:57,384
So you said if they're criminals, they should
be gone.
619
00:26:57,384 --> 00:26:58,184
That's a crime.
620
00:26:58,184 --> 00:26:59,785
I'm talking about heinous crimes.
621
00:26:59,785 --> 00:27:00,664
Are they killing people?
622
00:27:00,664 --> 00:27:01,785
Are they raping people?
623
00:27:01,785 --> 00:27:02,664
Are they stealing from people?
624
00:27:02,664 --> 00:27:03,944
Are they stealing IDs?
625
00:27:04,184 --> 00:27:06,825
I don't look at someone working as stealing
from people.
626
00:27:06,825 --> 00:27:07,705
Maybe I'm crazy.
627
00:27:07,705 --> 00:27:08,265
They are stealing.
628
00:27:08,265 --> 00:27:11,910
They're they're stealing money that otherwise
somebody else could have been hired for that
629
00:27:11,910 --> 00:27:12,309
position.
630
00:27:12,309 --> 00:27:12,710
Oh my god.
631
00:27:12,710 --> 00:27:15,749
You sound Caucasian right now.
632
00:27:15,829 --> 00:27:16,869
It's not Caucasian.
633
00:27:16,869 --> 00:27:17,509
It's anybody.
634
00:27:17,509 --> 00:27:17,750
Look.
635
00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:19,349
I'm first generation Canadian.
636
00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:21,909
You're first generation?
637
00:27:22,069 --> 00:27:22,390
Yep.
638
00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:23,429
First generation Canadian.
639
00:27:23,835 --> 00:27:24,234
Yeah.
640
00:27:24,234 --> 00:27:25,835
But there's a white privilege where,
641
00:27:25,835 --> 00:27:27,515
you know White privilege.
642
00:27:27,515 --> 00:27:32,794
I don't I'm like I'm like my my so on my dad's
side, I'm first gen.
643
00:27:32,794 --> 00:27:33,914
On my mom's side, fuck.
644
00:27:33,914 --> 00:27:34,554
Who knows?
645
00:27:35,115 --> 00:27:37,275
Like, we've here a long time on my mom's side.
646
00:27:37,275 --> 00:27:39,349
So it's like it it's like it cancels it out.
647
00:27:39,349 --> 00:27:40,389
I'll just say six.
648
00:27:40,549 --> 00:27:40,950
Right.
649
00:27:40,950 --> 00:27:48,069
My point is I'm giving you a hard time, but my
point in this situation is that you're saying
650
00:27:48,069 --> 00:27:48,710
it's a crime.
651
00:27:48,710 --> 00:27:52,710
I'm not gonna sit here and deny that it's a
crime, but to me, there are more heinous crimes
652
00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:56,604
out there that are worth searching for these
people.
653
00:27:56,684 --> 00:27:58,204
I don't believe that they're stealing from us.
654
00:27:58,204 --> 00:27:59,164
They're still paying taxes.
655
00:27:59,164 --> 00:28:00,204
They're still getting income tax.
656
00:28:00,204 --> 00:28:02,524
They're still doing all that unless they're
working under the table.
657
00:28:02,524 --> 00:28:06,204
And then it comes back to the same old question
of, oh, they're taking jobs from people.
658
00:28:06,204 --> 00:28:09,809
Well, if you were out there and had motivation,
they would have never been able to get that
659
00:28:09,809 --> 00:28:10,289
job.
660
00:28:10,450 --> 00:28:10,929
Wait.
661
00:28:10,929 --> 00:28:17,970
If you're not a Canadian citizen, right, and
you're here illegally, you can't pay tax.
662
00:28:17,970 --> 00:28:19,009
You can't pay income tax.
663
00:28:19,065 --> 00:28:22,744
You're only paying sales tax like whatever you
buy and sell, but you're not paying income tax.
664
00:28:22,904 --> 00:28:28,504
That could be anywhere between a 20 and a 50%
difference on what the government should be
665
00:28:28,504 --> 00:28:29,144
receiving.
666
00:28:29,224 --> 00:28:30,424
That's a huge amount of money.
667
00:28:30,744 --> 00:28:35,769
All while you're still receiving free
healthcare, dental, optical.
668
00:28:35,849 --> 00:28:39,769
So when they go in for those appointments,
shouldn't they be like, Hey, boop boop, red
669
00:28:39,769 --> 00:28:40,650
flag here.
670
00:28:40,809 --> 00:28:42,890
Well, yeah, because you have to get a
healthcare card.
671
00:28:42,970 --> 00:28:45,210
They don't get free healthcare without a
healthcare card.
672
00:28:45,690 --> 00:28:47,609
I'm telling you, Lisa, you gotta look it up.
673
00:28:47,609 --> 00:28:48,330
You gotta look it up.
674
00:28:48,795 --> 00:28:52,475
Somebody comes in here as asylum seeking, even
temporary and stuff like that, they get
675
00:28:52,475 --> 00:28:53,994
different benefits than we do.
676
00:28:53,994 --> 00:28:57,755
And if they overstay their time and they're
welcome, or they commit a crime and are
677
00:28:57,755 --> 00:29:01,434
supposed to be deported and don't show up,
right, because they're given leave, they still
678
00:29:01,434 --> 00:29:04,315
receive all those benefits, including the money
going into their bank account.
679
00:29:04,930 --> 00:29:06,369
It's ridiculous.
680
00:29:06,769 --> 00:29:11,170
I I don't think it's good for any problem
anybody any country.
681
00:29:11,170 --> 00:29:12,130
Something to.
682
00:29:12,529 --> 00:29:14,929
You're so passionate, Michael.
683
00:29:15,170 --> 00:29:17,009
Well, I just I just think fucking money.
684
00:29:18,434 --> 00:29:19,315
I just think They
685
00:29:19,154 --> 00:29:22,194
They were taking our money the minute they came
in on asylum.
686
00:29:22,515 --> 00:29:23,234
Yeah.
687
00:29:23,315 --> 00:29:23,634
Yeah.
688
00:29:23,634 --> 00:29:27,634
So if they've overstayed their welcome and the
government hasn't tracked them down and said,
689
00:29:27,634 --> 00:29:27,955
hey.
690
00:29:27,955 --> 00:29:29,795
It's been swelled, but the swelling's gone
down.
691
00:29:29,795 --> 00:29:30,674
Time to go home.
692
00:29:31,660 --> 00:29:35,740
They're here on asylum, so can the government
even send them back home when we start the
693
00:29:35,740 --> 00:29:36,940
process to PR?
694
00:29:37,099 --> 00:29:38,539
I'm not just talking about asylum.
695
00:29:38,539 --> 00:29:39,740
There's there's asylum.
696
00:29:39,740 --> 00:29:43,019
There's there's well, I mean, we're seeing it
now with the protest from people who came over
697
00:29:43,019 --> 00:29:45,660
here on education permit, and now they want the
right to work.
698
00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:46,140
You're like, no.
699
00:29:46,140 --> 00:29:46,940
You came here for education.
700
00:29:47,234 --> 00:29:48,115
Go back home.
701
00:29:48,115 --> 00:29:50,035
Reapply to come over here as a citizen.
702
00:29:50,035 --> 00:29:50,755
No problem.
703
00:29:50,755 --> 00:29:51,315
Yeah.
704
00:29:52,275 --> 00:29:56,595
And that's I've been through this where I had
an employee that went through this.
705
00:29:56,595 --> 00:29:57,075
Okay?
706
00:29:57,234 --> 00:30:03,089
And I had to tell him to get on a plane and go
home so we could sort it out because his his
707
00:30:03,490 --> 00:30:05,009
work visa had lapsed.
708
00:30:05,089 --> 00:30:07,170
And I'd said that to him.
709
00:30:07,170 --> 00:30:07,970
I said, go home.
710
00:30:07,970 --> 00:30:08,609
We'll call you.
711
00:30:08,609 --> 00:30:11,649
Now he wasn't from any crazy place in my
opinion.
712
00:30:13,089 --> 00:30:15,169
It was Europe, but it wasn't anything crazy.
713
00:30:15,569 --> 00:30:19,855
And he was really upset because he had made
Canada his home for five years, he'd been we
714
00:30:19,855 --> 00:30:21,614
kept renewing his work visa.
715
00:30:21,855 --> 00:30:24,734
And this time, the government fucking choked us
up.
716
00:30:24,815 --> 00:30:25,454
Right.
717
00:30:25,694 --> 00:30:30,894
And I was like, what and I said and I remember
going to my immigration lawyer and asking him.
718
00:30:30,894 --> 00:30:31,855
And I said, hey, bud.
719
00:30:32,549 --> 00:30:33,269
What do we do?
720
00:30:33,269 --> 00:30:37,989
And he said, now, because everything's up in
the air, he fucking lifts a tool.
721
00:30:37,990 --> 00:30:39,349
Everybody's fined.
722
00:30:39,349 --> 00:30:39,909
Mhmm.
723
00:30:40,149 --> 00:30:44,710
He said, tell him he said, put him on a plane
back home right now till we can get this shit
724
00:30:44,710 --> 00:30:47,355
sorted out because it's in him.
725
00:30:47,355 --> 00:30:50,154
He he's like, he's already proven that he's a
valuable worker.
726
00:30:50,154 --> 00:30:51,195
He's already a foreman.
727
00:30:51,195 --> 00:30:51,674
He does this.
728
00:30:51,674 --> 00:30:52,394
He does that.
729
00:30:52,394 --> 00:30:53,434
He goes above and beyond.
730
00:30:53,434 --> 00:30:54,474
He takes pride in his work.
731
00:30:54,474 --> 00:30:57,515
There's no fucking way he can sit and wait and
do nothing.
732
00:30:57,515 --> 00:31:00,795
He's gonna try and find cash jobs, and he's
gonna screw everybody over because he's
733
00:31:00,795 --> 00:31:01,515
attached to
you guys.
734
00:31:02,330 --> 00:31:04,250
And I was like, okay.
735
00:31:04,330 --> 00:31:06,490
So I stuck him on a plane, send him back.
736
00:31:06,490 --> 00:31:09,930
Two months later, I called and said, you can
come back to Canada if you wish because we got
737
00:31:09,930 --> 00:31:10,890
it all straightened out.
738
00:31:10,890 --> 00:31:12,009
But that's two months.
739
00:31:12,089 --> 00:31:16,964
And that sucks because if someone is doing
something where the momentum of their life is
740
00:31:16,964 --> 00:31:22,404
progressing into a certain situation, but for
whatever I mean, lawyers are expensive.
741
00:31:22,404 --> 00:31:23,204
We know this.
742
00:31:23,365 --> 00:31:26,565
And so it's hard to to start your process.
743
00:31:26,565 --> 00:31:28,805
I don't think it's I don't know how much it is,
if I'm being honest.
744
00:31:28,805 --> 00:31:32,580
Like, I've had people that have come over from
The States, from England, from all different
745
00:31:32,580 --> 00:31:37,619
walks of life, but ones that are kind of closer
to home in the sense of, like, know, because
746
00:31:37,619 --> 00:31:39,779
States is just to the south of us.
747
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:44,274
And England, I mean, you know, we were part of
a British colony at one point.
748
00:31:44,274 --> 00:31:44,674
You know what I mean?
749
00:31:44,674 --> 00:31:47,394
So it's kinda one of those things where I'm
always like, why?
750
00:31:47,394 --> 00:31:50,994
Like, why do we need why do they need to jump
through hoops and be called immigrants?
751
00:31:50,994 --> 00:31:52,514
But it's like, well, they are from other
countries.
752
00:31:52,514 --> 00:31:54,034
And I'm like, but are they?
753
00:31:54,034 --> 00:31:56,674
Like, we have a land border.
754
00:31:56,674 --> 00:31:57,075
Yeah.
755
00:31:57,474 --> 00:31:58,034
The yes.
756
00:31:58,410 --> 00:31:59,210
The answer is yes.
757
00:31:59,210 --> 00:31:59,369
They
758
00:31:59,369 --> 00:32:03,369
are one of it's one of those things where I
just kinda giggle about it because it's like
759
00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:06,009
like, that's okay.
760
00:32:06,009 --> 00:32:13,450
Maybe it sounds incredibly prejudicial, but for
me, I'm like, if you're from The UK or you're
761
00:32:13,450 --> 00:32:19,984
from, like, The Commonwealth or, like, The
States, like, why do they have the same
762
00:32:19,984 --> 00:32:20,944
rigmarole?
763
00:32:22,545 --> 00:32:23,664
Kind of my question.
764
00:32:23,585 --> 00:32:24,545
The run-in there is a point
765
00:32:24,785 --> 00:32:26,784
unfair, I just don't understand.
766
00:32:26,785 --> 00:32:28,065
I'm like, to me, it's like
767
00:32:29,549 --> 00:32:30,190
Well, there's a
768
00:32:30,190 --> 00:32:30,830
point system.
769
00:32:30,830 --> 00:32:35,470
Think of is when the adult comes in the room
and says, well, it's like that for everybody or
770
00:32:35,470 --> 00:32:36,350
nobody gets it.
771
00:32:36,350 --> 00:32:37,309
Do know what I mean?
772
00:32:37,789 --> 00:32:38,910
That's why the point system.
773
00:32:38,910 --> 00:32:40,990
Like I was saying to say, it's it's the point
system.
774
00:32:41,150 --> 00:32:43,304
So can you can you support yourself?
775
00:32:43,304 --> 00:32:44,424
Do you have enough finances?
776
00:32:44,424 --> 00:32:45,384
Do you have any degrees?
777
00:32:45,384 --> 00:32:46,424
Do you have any backgrounds?
778
00:32:46,585 --> 00:32:50,825
We used to have a really great system for
immigration, and it was fantastic.
779
00:32:50,984 --> 00:32:52,505
It worked really, really well.
780
00:32:52,505 --> 00:32:54,505
The numbers were on par.
781
00:32:54,505 --> 00:32:55,544
There were people coming in.
782
00:32:55,544 --> 00:32:58,759
They were part of Canada, right?
783
00:32:58,759 --> 00:33:00,279
Even living their own way.
784
00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:02,440
Like even living in their own communities,
creating their own communities.
785
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,159
That's awesome.
786
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:09,319
But when you just I believe that the numbers
are too large for that point system to the
787
00:33:09,319 --> 00:33:12,725
point that even one of the Indian guys was
talking about it.
788
00:33:12,725 --> 00:33:13,924
I'm not picking on India.
789
00:33:13,924 --> 00:33:17,445
This just happens to be a guy I was watching
the other day, where he's one of the
790
00:33:17,445 --> 00:33:22,644
international representations I know that's I'm
brain farting the word.
791
00:33:23,125 --> 00:33:24,485
He's a representative from India.
792
00:33:25,940 --> 00:33:28,500
Talking about this and he said the point system
was really good.
793
00:33:28,580 --> 00:33:32,339
Whereas right now, it doesn't make any sense.
794
00:33:32,900 --> 00:33:39,394
He was talking about the educational people to
come over and get an education and then wanting
795
00:33:39,394 --> 00:33:39,795
to work.
796
00:33:39,795 --> 00:33:43,075
You're like, you could do that, but you have to
leave and come back.
797
00:33:43,634 --> 00:33:43,875
Right?
798
00:33:43,875 --> 00:33:47,715
Because you're applying for two different
things applying I to don't know if you could
799
00:33:47,715 --> 00:33:49,315
apply to work and education would want.
800
00:33:50,500 --> 00:33:51,859
I I understand.
801
00:33:51,859 --> 00:33:54,900
I'm just saying, in my brain, I'm just kinda
like, I don't know.
802
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:58,819
I'm just one of those people that's like, give
me a reason not to trust you, and then I won't.
803
00:33:59,059 --> 00:34:02,259
But, Dave, if you're gonna do digital IDs for
something Yeah.
804
00:34:02,339 --> 00:34:05,059
This sounds like a perfect spot to do digital
IDs.
805
00:34:05,299 --> 00:34:05,539
Yeah.
806
00:34:05,714 --> 00:34:09,875
So you miss your deportation meeting, all those
IDs get shut down.
807
00:34:09,875 --> 00:34:12,114
Your bank that's connected to it, shut down.
808
00:34:12,114 --> 00:34:13,474
Have no access to anything.
809
00:34:13,795 --> 00:34:14,434
Agree.
810
00:34:15,394 --> 00:34:15,875
That
811
00:34:16,275 --> 00:34:18,434
seems like a good place to put a digital ID.
812
00:34:18,434 --> 00:34:18,914
100%.
813
00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:22,550
So if you're a politician listening to this,
that's where you put it.
814
00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:25,910
Not on the people who live here, not on the
people who just wanna work here or paying their
815
00:34:25,910 --> 00:34:27,750
taxes or building up the country.
816
00:34:27,750 --> 00:34:29,030
We need construction workers.
817
00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:32,070
We wanna hit the trades the most, the people
who wanna build all these houses to fill all
818
00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:35,535
these things, data centers, all the things you
need, infrastructure.
819
00:34:36,094 --> 00:34:37,535
We don't need data centers.
820
00:34:37,775 --> 00:34:39,534
Well, unfortunately, we do need data centers.
821
00:34:39,534 --> 00:34:40,335
We don't.
822
00:34:40,574 --> 00:34:42,015
We we do, actually.
823
00:34:43,375 --> 00:34:46,655
That's that's that could be a conversation for
another day because I have an idea for that.
824
00:34:47,409 --> 00:34:47,969
Okay.
825
00:34:47,969 --> 00:34:51,889
Well, we'll wrap up today because we're already
at thirty four minutes, and we'll go into the
826
00:34:51,889 --> 00:34:52,530
next one.
827
00:34:53,090 --> 00:34:53,730
Then.
828
00:34:53,969 --> 00:34:54,369
K.
829
00:34:54,369 --> 00:34:55,329
You're fantastic.
830
00:34:55,329 --> 00:34:57,969
Thanks everybody for listening to our tangent
back and forth.
831
00:34:58,769 --> 00:35:02,369
Michael tries to keep me off my ADHD path, so
he's doing well at it.
832
00:35:02,369 --> 00:35:07,545
Anyhoo, have a wonderful rest of your week, and
we'll catch you on the flip side, and don't do
833
00:35:07,545 --> 00:35:08,105
anything crazy.
