Some provinces like British Columbia allow people to login to gov't services with their BC ID credentials.
There is limited support using bank creds as a "sign-in partner" to login to some federal gov't services.
Overall, it's pretty disjointed atm...

I’m a fan of the idea of a government digital ID. Some commercial services/apps implement it for a “blue check”-like system. The local classifieds app does to indicate which users are at least real humans for example.
