Ongoing Agenda
Canada and countries worldwide already lifted most of the Covid 19 restrictions and mandates. People are enjoying traveling, and social and cultural gatherings. Back to dance parties, gyms, and cinemas. We enjoyed Halloween, celebrated Remembrance Day, waiting for Black Friday sales and we are slowly getting ready for Christmas. Soccer World Cup already started, NHL, NBA, MBL, and many others are in full progress. Not a lot of people think about the pandemic anymore, or the agenda behind it. But politicians and others officials in the hands of the ruling classes are not hesitant. There are moving forward to achieve the goals of their agenda.

Political leaders of the group twenty G20 {an international forum of 19 countries and the European Union, Canada including, which focus on the major issue as the global economy, climate change, and sustainable development} met in November 2022 in Bali, where issued a joint declaration promoting a global standard on proof of vaccination for international travel and calling for the establishment of “global digital health networks” that build on existing digital COVID-19 vaccine passport schemes. Declaration was proposed by the Bali health minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin who said: “Let’s have a digital health certificate acknowledged by WHO—if you have been vaccinated or tested properly—then you can move around.” The benefits of a global WHO-standardized vaccine passport would be to facilitate international travel, he added.
UK government brought a new program: Digital identity certification for the right to work, right to rent, and criminal record checks. Employers and landlords should use certified digital service providers {IDSPs} to carry out identity checks for British and Irish citizens. This guidance sets how IDSPs can become certified to complete digital identity checks for the Right to Work, Right to Rent, and DBS schemes respectively, in line with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s (DCMS) UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (the trust framework). The Right to Work, Right to Rent, and DBS initiatives form part of DCMS’s trust framework’s testing process, and learnings will help to further refine its development.
The Canadian government is not behind because they extended Medical assistance in dying MAID program in Canada. After March 17, 2023, people with a mental illness as their sole underlying medical condition will have access to MAID if they meet all of the eligibility requirements and the practitioners fulfill the safeguards that are put in place for this group of people. Minister of Health Jean- Yves Duclos said: “Our government is working on implementing the Expert Panel on MAID and Mental Illness’ recommendations to ensure that MAID practice reflects the evolving needs of persons who pursue MAID while supporting the autonomy, equity and safety of anyone who considers or ultimately chooses MAID. I would like to acknowledge the hard work of the Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Practitioners and its dedicated clinicians who are committed to developing a MAID training program of exceptional caliber.”
MAID was introduced in Canada in 2016 when the liberal Parliament of Canada passed federal legislation that allows eligible Canadian adults to request medical assistance in dying.
Vancouver officials did not hesitate either. Vancouver credit union VANCITY officially introduced a new credit card that counts customers’ carbon footprint. Starting in the new year 2023, every Vancity Visa credit card holder will be able to track the estimated carbon emissions of their credit card purchases. Members will be able to see how their monthly tally compares to the national average, or which credit card purchases have the highest environmental cost. “We know many Vancity members are looking for ways to reduce the impact they have on the environment, particularly when it comes to the emissions that cause climate change,” said Jonathan Fowlie, Vancity’s Chief External Relations Officer who oversees the credit union’s impact and climate efforts.
Looks like people are too busy with common life, or after the pandemic and lockdowns too tired to watch what’s going on. Meanwhile, behind the nice words of political and other leaders Agenda 2030 and the plan of the World Economic Forum WEF are silently crawling into our lives without any attention from the majority.
