Prominent Canadian psychologist and author Dr. Jordan Peterson said past COVID-19 restrictions could usher in a worldwide social credit system similar to the one in China. .“They wouldn’t notice it,” said Peterson in an interview on Sky News Australia. .“You can’t believe how much people don’t know these things.” .Peterson spoke with members of the House of Lords in the United Kingdom six months ago. He said the "most astute lord" had become aware about wokeness 18 months before. .The psychologist went on to say he “cannot believe how much this is not on people’s radar.” He added people would not question digital passports, as they are convenient. .Peterson said people will come to support a centralized government which is woke oriented and knows what they spend money on. People will not think about the consequences. .According to him, there are signs of this movement everywhere. There are a number of automated barriers where people can show their passports at airports. .Automated barriers can block people from going through. He said this is the situation in China. .Peterson continued by saying this situation is worse than what author Franz Kafka imagined. At least with Kafka, there were bureaucrats who had human feelings. .Once the machines can lock people out, Peterson said “you are in such trouble.” .“And we’re speeding towards that with an immense lack of care,” he said. .The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) released a report about the growing threat of digital ID technologies in Canada in August. .READ MORE: Justice Centre warns about dangers of digital IDs in Canada.“What Canadians need today is not more unmitigated government access to private information, but instead a renewed commitment to Charter rights and freedoms,” said JCCF President John Carpay. .“We are on the road to Beijing, and Canadians should be apprehensive.”
