Also, ArriveCan was frequently mentioned by many in the protests around covid.

From my end: I dislike near-mandatory apps by governments, but I felt like Covid was an exceptional time and at least it is non-mandatory now at the boarder.

ArriveCAN was quite stupid, but at least it was fairly simple and the mobile app was just a convenient wrapper around the web app. It could have been so much worse.
Honestly, as a former government contractor at a couple different places, this is pretty good bang for the buck. The planning meetings alone were probably $12m.
