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.

Yes, provided that it cannot be used as a social credit score that limits my rights and freedoms as a Canadian citizen

No, because often times identification systems are used to reinforce inequality and we already have ways of identifying ourselves
@B2H27FG2wks2W
No, we already have health care ID, drivers license ID, shool # ID.Start identify those who are non citizens coming in.
@B2GG52P2wks2W
We already have a national identity system. Residents and Citizens of Canada have SIN numbers to identify themselves with the government.
@B2C6DMV3wks3W
There should be tracking systems for fraud accounts but they should not infringe on any personal info not required
@B2BNJSD3wks3W
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.

Yes, provided it is properly managed, there is strong accountability measures, & there are no loopholes.
