Called Government Online, this broad project involves giving every Canadian citizen a digital certificate, which will allow citizens to access their personal government records online. So far they only have the Custom & Revenue Agency online with a simple Change of Address, but there are over a hundred more applications from various agencies ready to be put online. Could this be the start of something good, or is this Big Brother? How about voting online?"

It could be the MARK OF THE BEAST.

We all know Canada was inspired by Satan to make us (Americans) look bad. Single payer system (rude gesture)! This just proves it.
