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.

Maybe but it would take lots of resources and would need a lot of money and work to do before it's complete, and there could be mistakes, it could get broken which would need repair, and ect.
@9ZQ63PS2wks2W
Yes a national security system should be implemented so long as it’s not singing like chipping everyone but the facial recognition is fine.
@9ZPKL9L2wks2W
This depends on the ways that they would want to implement the identification. I don't think they should take away privacy and stalk people by using facial recognition. But, if it is a safe and sane way to prevent fraud, and other things of the like, I think it might be a good idea.
@9ZBHJJN4wks4W
Doesn't this technically already exist with the Social Insurance Numbers, and Health numbers, + Passports and stuff?
@9YKXF764wks4W
as long as its only used on people who have had their identity grabbed and has strict limits to who and when its used
@9W9YG5K1mo1MO
Leave it to the provinces, and allow each resident to choose the level of security of their ID. Give several options and decentralize, as this is safer.
@9W9M54X2mos2MO
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.
@9W6Y4BF2mos2MO
I believe it could be good in high-security places however this can also lead to some serious problems if these data files are ever hacked.
