This series on Canadian tech is made in partnership with Passage, a left-wing publication in Canada. Passage published an edited transcript of the conversation.

On June 17, 2022, Health Canada decommissioned the COVID Alert app.

In April, Bianca wrote that the government needed to shut down the COVID Alert app because it wasn’t working (if it ever had). She also began writing a series on the app on her Medium blog that month.

In July 2020, Bianca and her colleague Sean Mcdonald were already asking questions about the app and the planning around it.

Other digital contact-tracing apps were launched in many other countries, including Australia, France, and Iceland, with poor results.
