There exists a discreet initiative known as the UN Agenda 2030, quietly gaining influence within city councils across Canada under the auspices of “Sustainable Development.” Integral to this agenda is the implementation of S.M.A.R.T city technology, designed to actualize its objectives, as follows:
S – Surveillance M – Monitoring A – Analysis R – Reporting T – Technology
The clandestine nature of this implementation raises legitimate concerns, particularly given the substantial increase in expenditure involved. Examples include the exorbitant allocation of funds toward largely underutilized bike lanes in Mission, amounting to 2.5 million dollars and escalating. Notably, city councils are aligning with United Nations directives without transparent disclosure to citizens or thorough discourse on the repercussions of such profound urban transformations. This is often cloaked in rhetoric promoting “sustainability” and “inclusion,” which effectively serve as euphemisms for exerting comprehensive control over human behaviour.
Climate Change Discourse
Environmental advocates have long sounded alarms over carbon emissions, initially framed within the context of “Global Warming.” Yet, predictions of catastrophic coastal flooding due to melting polar ice caps have failed to materialize. Consequently, the narrative has shifted to encompass all-encompassing “Climate Change,” vilifying carbon—the most abundant element in nature—while sidelining discussions on genuinely harmful atmospheric pollutants. Dubbed “pseudo-science” by many within the scientific community, such narratives and associated directives from organizations like the United Nations and the World Economic Forum are being embraced by non-elected bureaucrats and city council members without adequate scrutiny.
Digitization Initiatives
Drawing inspiration from China’s Social Credit Score system, which intricately monitors and regulates citizens’ lives, initiatives like S.M.A.R.T city technology, Digital ID, and Central Bank Digital Currency are facilitating the digitization of society. Coupled with digital medical records mandating regular inoculations, these efforts signal a concerning trend toward invasive surveillance and control. Moreover, the involvement of private entities, facilitated through Public-Private Partnerships, stands to further exacerbate the erosion of privacy and individual autonomy.
Implementation and Expansion
Examples like the municipality of Iles-de-la-Madeleine in Quebec, where citizens must produce identification to exit town and tourists face entry fees, underscore the accelerating pace of this agenda’s implementation. Edmonton, Alberta, slated to commence this rollout in June 2024, represents another step toward widespread adoption across Canadian cities, towns, and municipalities. Such developments align with the vision articulated by the World Economic Forum, which openly advocates for a future where individuals “own nothing and are happy.”
