As every day goes by it gets even scarier going to the states. I know I won’t be going in my lifetime.

    The devil is in the details. The US is just using the border as a development/testing pool of victims that have essential zero rights to protest or object to whatever is done.

    Once perfected, this will be implemented by all US institutions - driving license, automobile registration, health insurance, and eventually every American will have their facial biometric on file. Get caught on any of the billions of surveillance cameras, instant recognition and identification. Post a photo in any social media platform, the government knows who you are. Critical of government policies? There will be no such thing as anonymity.This is truly ‘big brother’.

    So, go across the border into the US? You are identified for life, and your movements can be traced, even in Canada through any social media post with your picture, by US agents. Even from a crowd scene photo.

      I think >80% of US Americans currentlybhave biometrics on file. Anyone who got a photo ID got sucked up years ago.
