DAILY Roundup | Smith stands by oil & gas, Churches' COVID challenge dismissed, UN digital ID

Today, we're looking at Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's pledge to stand by the province's oil and gas sector and oppose Ottawa's so-called Just Transition plan to shift to "green" energy.

Plus, seven churches in Manitoba were fighting to have previous COVID-19 health orders declared invalid, only for the Court of Appeal to back a previous decision declaring 2020 and 2021's health orders to be Charter compliant.

And finally, the United Nations is looking to roll out it's own version of a digital ID tied to banking and is eerily reminiscent of similar efforts from the World Economic Forum.
