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.

Doesn't this technically already exist with the Social Insurance Numbers, and Health numbers, + Passports and stuff?
@9YKXF762wks2W
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.
@9W9M54X1mo1MO
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.
@9W6Y4BF1mo1MO
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.
@9X97M663wks3W
I think we should on high profile people or people with many complaints but overall have privacy for other people
@9WTF59R4wks4W
No because the odds of that information being given to other countries is pretty high. I’d say yes if I believed Canada could keep the information to itself
@9WSS4QB4wks4W
Yes, only if there is a supervised system to ensure the government does not infringe on individual freedoms. Watch the Watcher.
