Blacklocks- Feds Likes Payroll Data Scoop
“The vision of ePayroll in Canada is a service through which Canadian employers can securely send payroll, employment and demographic information to a protected Government of Canada repository,” said the Briefing Binder. “Government departments and agencies could then access the information when they need it.”
“The scope and scale of the ePayroll project are massive,” said the Policy Brief. “It would impact every employer and every worker in Canada.”
“The sheer volume of data would be enormous, roughly equivalent to the amount of information submitted at year-end being received every two weeks,” said the Payroll Institute. “Public buy-in is essential,” it cautioned.
We are private citizens. They are not supposed to know anything about us.
They are public servants. We are supposed to know everything about them.
Well put and correct. The government can stick this idea in whatever orifice they deem appropriate – the answer is “Hell, No!”.
I would also point to the sterling failure of the Phoenix Payroll Project – 100% overbudget, overdue by about 5 years and still another 5 years to go. The government sucks at anything and everything simply because every last civil drudge has to have their say, including the union, and they reduce any meaningful idea to ashes in a very short time. They are not trustworthy and the answer remains “Get lost and the horse that you rode in on”.
“The government sucks at anything and everything…..”
….most importantly because they never pay any price for screwing up.
Just another get rich scheme for friends of the Liberal Party.
Oh, great, a one location stop-and-shop for computer hackers who will then ransom government (taxpayers) to return the information or have every working Canadians personal information sold to identity thieves or other places on the dark web.
Odds that those hackers will have insider knowledge of weak points in the new system? Pretty darn high considering the corruption already uncovered in our current governing party and federal employees.
Does anyone really think that the Trudeau Liberal-NDP government will bother with any kind of buy-in from the public? This same government tried a couple years back to get Canadians banking information on the sly. They promised that the data would be anonymized so no one’s personal information was compromised or privacy rights violated…
…But this same Trudeau Liberal-NDP government froze the bank accounts of freedom convoy protesters and supporters who donated to their cause after unconstitutional use of the Emergency Act.
A government rotten to the core and this new data scoop reeks of future abuse of power by government and government agencies.
The big question is, have we reached the lowest common denominator yet?
Nope. Some regular Canadians and Canadian industries who are not politicians or linked to politicians are still managing to succeed.
This is a precursor to CBDC and an overwhelming social credit system. The totalitarian federal regime wants to reduce you to slaves and this is just another step.
The gov wants to open us up to the massive hacks that will happen,probably by their friends or world bank, etc.
I’d say “Wexit!” here but our city folk would have to take off their masks for that, and that ain’t gonna happen.
I await your personal attacks.
And burn the cities…will be added to the referendum question.
It would be amusing to see how many of our urban comrades would vote to burn their city.
Info is info is info is info.. In the information age.. Just think, Trudeau can CREATE hundreds of new jobs playing with that puppy.. = More government jobs..
We call this growth.. lol
Growth. Like cancerous tumors.
Jeezus, they’re proud of being evil.
Beating the bushes for every darn penny…
Pay adjustments based on skin colour, declared gender, ethnic group, voting behavior, etc.
Just think of all the good things the Liberal Party can do…
20 million people in Canada working, give or take.
How much info is on your payroll slip? Hours, rate, gross pay, CPP, EI, other deductions, income tax, net pay. Can’t be more than 1,000 bytes of data.
20 million x 1,000 bytes = 20 Gbytes of data. That might have been a daunting amount even ten years ago, but the new associative databases like Qlik and Tableau make processing it child’s play. A good data analyst can slice and dice that data to give you any picture that you want.
