The Ontario government is seeking input on its plan to introduce a digital ID program by the end of 2021 that would enable Ontarians to conveniently prove their identity online.
Individuals could use digital ID to prove their identity when:
- checking in for virtual medical appointments
- getting a birth, marriage or death certificate
- applying for government assistance (such as disability support) or benefits (such as CERB or EI)
- updating and showing vaccination records
- opening a bank account
- applying for a tenancy or job
Businesses could use digital ID to verify individuals’ identities when:
- hiring new employees or engaging contractors
- proving their identity/credentials or verifying those of other businesses
- opening business accounts
- applying for loans, grants, tax credits or benefits
- verifying a prospective tenant’s or customer’s identity

Diana Campbell says
Absolutely Not another government ID. Too many already. NO NO NO
Madonna Alade says
I strongly disagree with this plan as it prone to be hacked.
Lorraine Pace says
I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH HAVING DIGITAL ID.
NO WEBSITES ARE 100% PRIVATE AND SECURE. WE SEE THIS ALL THE TIME.
WE HAVE EXAMPLES WITH THE CANADA REVENUE SITE RECENTLY AND BANKS etc. etc.
NO WAY! THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR. WE DON’T HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING ON LINE.
Lorraine Pace says
I STRONGLY DO NOT AGREE WITH DIGITAL ID.
THIS IS TAKING EVERYTHING TOO FAR.
IT IS LIKE PUTTING OUR PERSONAL INFORMATION ON A BILLBOARD OUT TO THE WORLD!
NO WEBSITES ARE 100% SECURE. TAKE A LOOK AT EXAMPLES IN THE PAST i.e. Canada Revenue, Banks etc.
FORGET IT!
ANDRE LINZMEYER says
I DO NOT AGREE ON HAVING DIGITAL ID.
THIS IS THE END OF OUR FREEDOM! CANADA GLORIUS AND FREE ?
WE ARE CREATORS WE LOVE CREATING, WORKING.
THE DESIRE FOR FREEDOM IS PROPER TO THE HUMAN BEING AND GOVERNMENTS WHO ATTEMPT TO END IT WILL SUFFER A BIG LOSS.

I strongly disagree with this idea….Our information will then be very accessible to hackers for access our information

I strongly disagree with this idea….Our information will then be very accessible to hackers for identity tbeft, or whatever. The Government has too much of our info online already

I do not agree on having our ID digital.
