Here's How Cattle Are Tracked in Canada

Find this little known fact amusingly horrifying, as there is a strong parallel to be made between cattle and human beings.

Reading from one of our beef supplier’s website in Alberta…. “All cattle and bison are tagged with a Radio Frequency Identification ear tag and the RFID tag number and birth date information is sent to the 'Canadian Cattle Identification Agency'."

Sounds familiar? Of course it does! Let’s change a few things… “All adults and kids are tagged with a Identification Certificate QR code tag and the QR code and ID information is sent to the “Canadian Health Agency”.

You can read more about cattle identification here. Here’s an interesting bit from their website: “Established by producers in 1998 and incorporated in 2001, Canada’s traceability system is based on three pillars: animal identification, premises identification and animal movement. Led by the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) Canada’s traceability program is designed and developed for the containment and eradication of animal disease. The Canadian Cattle Identification Program is the only national cattle identification program in North America.”

One could tweak it a little bit like that… “Established by the Elites in 2020 and incorporated in 2021, Canada’s traceability system is based on three pillars: human identification, premises identification and human movement. Led by the Canadian Government, Canada’s traceability program is designed and developed for the containment and eradication of human disease. The Canadian Human Identification Program is the only national human identification program in North America.”

UPDATE! IT GETS BETTER! I swear the Elites (the WEF members) are following the Canadian Cattle ID program! Here’s what you can read on their website:
”The main recommendations to accommodate a phased-in approach for a mandatory comprehensive traceability system for beef (or human;) cattle include:

  • In consultation with the beef (or human;) industry, develop national regulations with consistent delivery standards and with direct funding support for technology development and implementation by industry stakeholders.

  • In consultation with the beef (or human;) cattle industry, develop the regulations with a non-punitive, educational approach for a period of time until field studies demonstrate that the technology supports the satisfactory speed of commerce.

  • Premises ID must be completed prior to the implementation of movement reporting. National standards for assigning premises ID are imperative and must be consistent for all provinces. The definition of premises ID for the beef (or human;) cattle industry is the home quarter or headquarters of the registered operator.

  • The implementation of all aspects of traceability is dependent on technology solutions that do not impede the normal business practises of the industry (commerce). Prior to the implementation of movement reporting, software technology required to download the data from the tag readers and have it in a format that is transferable to the CCIA must be readily available to producers nationally.”

It could be on the UN Agenda 2030. Same vibe to it.

Out.
