A national identification system is a standardized ID system that provides a unique identification number or card to all citizens, which can be used to verify identity and access various services. Proponents argue that it enhances security, streamlines identification processes, and helps prevent identity fraud. Opponents argue that it raises privacy concerns, could lead to increased government surveillance, and may infringe on individual freedoms.

Definitely not. Our security systems are already advanced. With the justice system in place, if you do commit such crime- it would already be easy to stop and prosecute you. It’s not hard to find anybody these days.
@B4WBTNK1wk1W
Don't we already have national identification? I have ID and a passport. Back off with the "enhanced security" what does that even mean?
@B4RTS5HConservative2wks2W
Only if it is fair to Canadian citizens and does not favourite immigrants that where face coverings that get different rules.
@B4Q7WZJ2wks2W
Yes, but specifically for on-line use, as there doesn't seem to be any other way to stop both domestic and foreign misinformation and disinformation
@B4KQL3X3wks3W
Is this not what a social insurance number is? Why do we need more IDs? If that is what this is talking about, then, no, we don't need another one.
@B2BNJSD4mos4MO
While having a standardized ID system could be beneficial to prevent such measures, I find that it compromises the freedom and privacy on oneself. Another problem would be if this would be EVEN successful at all? People could come up with all sort of ways to get around it.
@B4DN32M4wks4W
the government should implement a national identification system to impose proper befifits, and wellfare to citizens
@9W9M54X6mos6MO
Yes however I struggle to see how this could be done without there being invasion of privacy, and this issue should be further discussed before implementing anything.
@9S9R2T49mos9MO
This is a slippery slope. If you want to live like China, do it you want a free system? Wish to use your freedom of speech do not do this.
@9RYSY2B9mos9MO
I believe there should be a identification structure in place for security and safety but have certain regulations in place in order to prevent spying and other un ethical actions.
@9ZBHJJN6mos6MO
Doesn't this technically already exist with the Social Insurance Numbers, and Health numbers, + Passports and stuff?
@9SGZSK78mos8MO
If someone is shown to have done a crime it should be heavily rechecked by HUMANS to make sure they have actually done it and are not falsely accused.
