Dr.Merkwurdigeliebe writes "'Enhanced' driver's licences such as those to be issued in B.C. will lay the groundwork for a national identity card, federal privacy commissioner Jennifer Stoddart said yesterday.

I wish our Canadian journalists would've gotten it right — it's "REAL ID". How embarrassing." Link to Original Source
