“””You have to produce an ID to vote in Canada... No ifs, ends, or buts.”””
Let me draw you to this portion of the BBC story. It might change your conclusion.
“””In 2014, the Conservatives introduced the Fair Elections Act that barred Elections Canada from encouraging people to vote - it was only allowed to inform people how and when to vote and eliminated the vouching system, which let voters with proper identification vouch for the identities of others in the same polling location.
At the time, the chief electoral officer expressed concern this would disenfranchise voters, and opposition parties accused the Conservatives of voter suppression. Many of the act’s provisions were repealed when the Liberals came into power.”””
You nailed it.
Let me introduce you to this... The official online election instructions to Canadians.

Because the Canadian liberal has a lock on every single election. They can afford to lose one or two elections on occasion.
If you don’t have ID, you can still vote if you declare your identity and address in writing and have someone who knows you and who is assigned to your polling station vouch for you.
Yes... And that person needs proper ID to vouch for you.
