Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith announced full support for Saskatchewan Premier Moe’s refusal to accept Digital IDs as a condition for federal health care funding.
Last week, Moe wrote a letter to constituents who were concerned about the prospect of being forced to use a digital ID that provides data to the federal government.
On Friday, Smith fully endorsed Moe’s messaging.
“I agree and stand firmly with @PremierScottMoe in protecting Albertans’ private health information. I will ensure that any agreements with the Federal Government do NOT include the sharing of any such personal information with the Feds or third party. #cdnpoli #abpoli,” Smith tweeted.
Many Albertans on social media had wondered if Smith would echo Moe’s statements.
Last week, a letter surfaced that Moe had written to constituents that stated they don’t have to worry about a digital ID.
