Since its inception, the Trudeau Liberals' ArriveCAN app has garnered criticism from across the political spectrum. On Sunday, Windsor West NDP MP Brian Masse joined the chorus of Canadians calling on the federal government to do away with the "worthless" app. It’s being used as a back door to permanently track all border crossing. In an interview with the CBC, Masse added that the app was "worthless in terms of public safety," and that it is also "branding [Canada] as an unwelcoming destination." The federal government has defended the app, arguing that it is an "efficient mechanism of verifying vaccine certificates in order to grant exemptions from quarantine."
