Do you really believe the QR code will only show valid/invalid? Of course it will carry some personal information and I'm sure it will also be used as a form of contact tracing and tracking places you visited.
The vaccination receipt and QR code will include your name, date of birth, the last 4 digit of your health card (not the entire thing), your vaccination status, vaccination date and the organization from where you got the vaccine. Besides the last 4 digits of your health card, not much of anything you don't already give out.
Reception sees so many people walk in and out I highly doubt they have the time or motivation to care or memorize everyone's personal information. The girls are probably not going to bother asking either since you go through the lobby already.
Google/Apple can already track where you visited via the Phones GPS. Your cell provider already triangulated your positions based on the 3 closes cell tower it pings. They don't need a QR code to track the places you've been to. Your car's built in GPS does the same thing too. If you don't want to be tracked, don't carry a phone and drive cars without navigation. Otherwise your location is already recorded somewhere.
Exactly this. This is a huge breach of privacy and personal freedoms.
I don't see how that's really a breach of any ones privacy. People who take advantage of birthday specials at MPs already show their Drivers license to the receptionist to prove that it is in fact their birthday. Now you're just showing it to get in. You already have to show your id to get into Casinos or present your passport when you travel outside of Canada, yet we don't claim those are breaching our privacy and freedoms.
I certainly don't see how it's a breach of your personal freedom. You're not forced to get vaccinated, you just won't be able take part in activities that requires it. Just the same as you're not forced to get a Drivers license, you just won't be able to legally own and operate a motor vehicle until you get your Drivers License.
Or own a gun without gun permit
or practice law without a license
or operate a body rub parlor without a license.
or be a MP without a license.
How is this any different. No one is forcing you to do anything, just make sure you also accept the potential consequences of your decision.
what if you have a phone that cant read qr code or no phone at all is there a plastic card
You go to the government website to retrieve the vaccination receipt which you can then download it directly onto your phone or print it out. You don't need a phone to read the QR code. That's up to the person letting you in to where ever you are going to scan. There's no plastic, you can print it on any piece of paper and keep it in your wallet.
These are just my opinion. The alternative is another lockdown and I doubt anyone wants that.
