I find it interesting how you equate socialism to the loss of freedom.  Examine
the US. Patriot Act obliterates freedoms wholesale,  most of these ideas for
databases come from the US with the one exception, the database on guns.  The
US is trying to pass a law, and likely will that has been referred to as TAI
Total Access to Information.  This law will allow the US gvt to collect in one
place all know info on any person i.e. health information, credit history,
driving records and if available finger prints and DNA.  It won't be long
before they just routinely collect fingerprints from people doing business with
the government.  You can be denied all rights in the US on the mere suspicion
of being an "illegal enemy combatant".  That includes any rights to trial,
lawyer etc. Parts of the Patriot act have been challenged in court, a secret
court that only the gvt can present.   Americans are only free to do what the
gvt believes correct.  Yup it is not far fetched to see the US jack-booting
over Canada, but it won't be because we're socialists, it will be because we
offend them by not toadying well enough.
