Anthony, I read the first link you gave. It is actually in keeping with other information I have read. Which really could be summed up as Chinese style "social credit system".

Trudeau actually praised China for their "social credit system". He went on to basically say their social credit system is successful because of their authoritarian government.

It certainly appeared to me how Trudeau handled the Trucker's dispute in Ottawa (freezing bank accounts etc..) was what might be called a "dry run of the social credit system." I understand that the World Economic Forum is working on their own form of social credit system.
