The Ontario legislature this morning passed Bill 85, facilitating the creation of an "enhanced drivers' licence" that uses RFID. I wrote about the bill yesterday.
Update: Media coverage from Canwest.

Already I’ve seen bouncers “swipe” driver’s licenses here, and I’ve actually called them out on PIPEDA, and that they need to disclose when they are recording your information otherwise what they are doing is illegal. They seem to think that they are in *full right* to be collecting people’s information off of their driver’s license, and not telling them.
It’s not a far stretch to imagine a RFID detector when you remove your ID to show the bouncer. Think they’ll give you the option of having your data collected?
