      Yes. Yes we do. Passport costs money. Driver’s license costs money. Green card costs money. Getting to any of these places that distribute them costs money and you need like 4-5 different documents to prove who you are (other IDs, bills with your residence, etc).

      All of that is probably the “easy” stuff to get.

        damn, most provinces here in Canada aren’t free either. I did not know that. anywhere from $15-50 for a photo ID that expires every four to five years. I’m disappointed in that.

        the other stuff having a fee makes sense to me, but photo ID (not driver’s license)? at least the health card is free
