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.

@B2GG52P6mos6MO
We already have a national identity system. Residents and Citizens of Canada have SIN numbers to identify themselves with the government.
@B2ST4SY6mos6MO
we already have a standardized ID in ontario it is our social inssurance number or the SIN card. this does not stope someone from stealing your identaty as all they would need is that number and they have all of your information from the time your born to when it was taken. I do not bielve this is a good idea as all it would do is give another way for identaties to be stolen
@B2H5CG66mos6MO
No, because often times identification systems are used to reinforce inequality and we already have ways of identifying ourselves
@9PDLKNJ1yr1Y
That already exists. It's called a social insurance number.

national ID systems will lead to further spying and security paranoia, leading to larger civil unrest. a further enforced justice system will make this better
@B639X8L1wk1W
No need to implement a new document, we already have a driving licence, a Passport, and a health card.

A national ID system can help prevent identity fraud, streamline access to services, and enhance security.
