Alberta’s new digital wallet, launched to replace paper health cards and store government documents, has sparked privacy concerns among Canadians wary of potential government overreach and digital ID systems.
In an August 29 press release, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced the “Alberta Wallet,” a digital wallet that will allow Albertans to store government-issued documents and identification on their phone.
“Albertans deserve better, faster and smarter services,” Smith said. “That’s why we’re launching this optional tool to supplement Albertans’ existing paper health cards. If you choose to use the new Alberta Wallet, you remain in control of your personal information, which will stay private and only accessible to you.”
