Let me mention something. Digital ID has come to Canada. Firstly, by the banks, though it will also include telephone service, health service, and insurance.

If you don't sign up for it (within the next three weeks), you lose most of your banking privileges. As in, no more Internet banking, instant payments or use of any bank cards. For now, you'll still be able to write cheques and withdraw money at a teller window. For now.

So that's an issue. Would you consider bitcoin? I know substack doesn't support it, but I wouldn't mind chipping in a bit when I can, and I'm probably not the only one.

Hi whiskeys, I live in Kanada (BC) and haven’t received any notification from my credit union to sign up into anything... can you share more info? Thanks!

Sure. Here's a salient page from the letter:

There's also the sign up page from TD.

That should give you a pretty good idea. Also, it's possible your bank isn't part of this - all the big ones are though. If you wander around the verified.me site itself, you should see what companies are using it so far.
