Sir Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the UK, has said that the UK will be implementing a digital ID by the end of 2029. He says it’s to combat illegal immigration, but critics see it as just another way to control the people and they’re rapidly showing their opposition to the scheme.

One major software company, Palantir, has said it wants no part of it and will not be bidding on its introduction to the public through any software they could supply. Their reason: “It’s unpopular.”

Sir Keir Starmer has become one of Britain’s most unpopular PMs ever, and his aggressive support for digital ID has only soured his reputation further. Even members of his cabinet are warning him that if he continues to push the plan, he may lose support for his Labour Party, which is already tenuous.

What is digital ID, and how would it affect the citizens of the UK? Are there similar plans being hatched in other countries? What about Canada? What are the implications for banking and personal freedoms?

Mairi Allan, writing for Declaration’s Newsletter, says, “Digital ID is not about convenience or modernization, it is the linchpin of a system designed to monitor, restrict, and ultimately control every aspect of our lives.”

Digital ID, in a variety of forms, is being introduced or contemplated in a number of countries. China already has in place a “social credit system,” which ranks citizens and gives them positive or negative ratings based on their financial reliability, their public service, their environmental impact, their cooperation in terms of pandemic protocols and other considerations of behaviours, actions or communications. Depending on an individual’s social credit score, he or she may be denied entrance to a university, access to a loan or permission to board a plane or train. Being blacklisted might mean one is not eligible to receive medical treatment.

In all these potential impacts on one’s opportunity to make decisions, a digital ID, such as that contemplated by the UK, will eventually and necessarily involve CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies). The implementation of a digital currency is a natural byproduct and almost an unavoidable result of a nation’s decision to entrap its citizens with a digital ID. Globalists and those operating in the thin atmosphere of financial controls would love to be able to limit the purchase of certain products or services that undermine their aspirations and to force-feed the products and services that grease the wheels of world government.

If they can control—through the tracking of a person’s digital ID—who receives an education or a government grant, and if they can control—through direct access to that person’s bank account—where he or she may travel, how much gasoline or meat or clothing that person may buy, what shows that person can access, what publications to which that person may subscribe and whether or not that person may comment or advertise on social media, then they can eventually control how that person may vote or even whether that person may vote.

Britain has taken the first step down the road to digital ID, and we hope that citizens there will refuse to comply. As in many situations, unpopular governments can not succeed in achieving their evil purposes if enough people simply say “no!” Compliance with evil or silence in the face of it is itself evil.

The question for us, as Canadians, is: When will our globalist financier, PM, Mark Carney, follow Kier Starmer’s lead and declare a digital ID and a CBDC for us? After all, he has strong ties to the UK and has always been a fan of government control over people. Asked on September 27, 2025, he said, “We don’t have current plans for that…”

Don’t let that fool you. Control freaks like Mark Carney like to deny their intentions just before they launch their blitzkrieg. They said the covid mRNA vaccines were not mandatory just before they made them mandatory. They call the firearms “buyback” program voluntary, but if you don’t cooperate, you’ll be considered a criminal.

In his 2021 book, Value(s), Mark Carney said that the “future of money is a central bank stablecoin, known as a central bank digital currency or CBDC.” A leopard doesn’t change its spots. It hides in the underbrush, stalking its prey.

The Christian Heritage Party of Canada opposes both digital ID and CBDCs. We promote free enterprise and free people living in a sovereign and debt-free country. The current government is taking us in the opposite direction.
