Join us on Tuesday, April 15, at 10 AM (Mountain Time) to learn about central bank digital currencies and chat with the authors about how they threaten your rights and freedoms.
On March 17 the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms released a new report that explores how a Canadian Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) could undermine Canadians’ rights and freedoms.
The report, “Central Bank Digital Currency? What it is and how it could impact your privacy, security, and autonomy,” reveals that, while politicians promise greater innovation, convenience, access, and security for Canadians, this is only half the story.
A Canadian CBDC will undermine your privacy, autonomy, security, equality, and access to economic participation.
But what does this mean for you? How soon could Canadians see a CBDC implemented? What can Canadians do about it?
Register now to hear from the author, Benjamin Klassen, and privacy expert and contributor to the report, Sharon Polsky MAPP (President of the Privacy & Access Council of Canada), themselves.
Q & A included for all registered guests!
When: Tuesday, April 15, 10 AM MDT
Where: On Zoom
Cost: $4.99
Our new report is Canada’s most comprehensive analysis of CBDCs and how they threaten your privacy, autonomy, security, and ability to participate in the economy.
Our report frames the Bank of Canada’s exploration of CBDCs within a global context, applying lessons learned from Nigeria, the Caribbean, and other jurisdictions. It measures the negative outcomes of “going cashless” in Australia, Sweden, Finland, Norway, and other jurisdictions.
Our report warns Canadians that promises of heightened security, access, and profitability are, upon closer inspection, misleading. Indeed, a Canadian CBDC will undermine your freedom and human dignity more severely than any other law or policy.
