I still don't get why we can't just consolidate these government IDs down to one document that get endorsements for different licenses or other applications. With smart cards, it would be fairly easy to do and could be done quite securely if done right (which is, of course, a bit of a trick for the current government in this province :rolleyes:).

Well, for one thing, some of us are not able to drive.
 
Well - this is the LAST time I will tolerate this sort of weather without complaint.
It is - freezin' 43C.
I shall complain bitterly to anyone who will listen if it is this cold again tomorrow - or EVER!

Feel free to complain - you've earned it. Brrrrrrrr
 
Here in BC we have the option of a combined BC Care card-(Health number) and on the other side-our drivers liscense. One less piece of plastic to carry

and for those who don't drive they can just get a care card.
 
So back to Scotland for a moment. I have an elderly (and admittedly distant) relative who's actually a well known Scottish comedian named Stanley Baxter. He's done all sorts of stuff on the BBC and was even on a Bing Crosby Christmas special in the States back in the early 70's. I remember watching it on TV with my family. He was (actually is, because he's still alive I believe, and in his 90's) my grandmother's second cousin or something. She also was a Baxter. I never met the man, but from family lore I'm told he was quite a pleasant and funny man but his only visits to Canada that I know of were before I was born and the only time I was ever in the UK I wasn't in Scotland to try to make contact. Not that he would have known who I was anyway. It's admittedly, as I said, a pretty distant relationship.

I'm confused as to the purpose of a health care card. I know my number. One has to show picture ID often at hospitals. AFAIK my name pops up with my number - so what's the point of showing the card which doesn't provide any extra level of security?

Here in Ontario, someone decided long ago that the best way to confirm one's eligibility for health care funding is to have an account accessed by a ten digit account number on a piece of plastic. Later, they added a photo and security features to fight fraud. The fact is that it now looks almost identical to a driver's license save in colour and generally expires at the same time (expiry is another security measure by forcing them to check your eligibility, address, etc. regularly). Which is why I think we could go down to just one card.

Yet isn't duplicity an expectation in this world where a singularly virtue is difficult to find less open (thus a closed and covenanted thought)? That about wraps up that questionable mystery ... or does it as the lie goes on ... as laid out by-gods!

One should pick up on such shadowy domains as forte night ... strong darkness that holds the fore gotten and yet denied ... excluding Sundays tho' ... when it all comes to light! Never on Sunday ... ???????? Is that about prostituting something else?

Okay... but we'd have to do something like what @Tabitha has shared BC does, as there are those of us who don't drive.
 
I'm going to be LAST to go outside this morning. It is still incredibly cold. My partner is preparing to take our furbaby for a walk to 'do his thing', get it picked up and thrown in the garbage. I confess to finding that a bit odd - dog poop pollutes less in the garbage can than it does getting ground up and spread around by vehicles? Yesterday the poor dog tried to walk without putting his wee paws on the ground. Apparently he was only partly successful.
