We just had a provincial election. There was no one in front of me in the line, so I didn't even have to wait. Federal elections aren't any different in practice.
You don't need ID to vote in Canada. Where'd you get that idea?

Having a government photo ID is
one way to prove your identity.
You can also have most other IDs and literally anything with your name and address omn it; a bank statement and your voter info card for instance.
You can also have someone who
can provide ID vouch for you.
It's also important to recall that what they call "voter ID laws" in the USA aren't sudden new requirements that you prove your identity; the USA's always had standards like Canada's on this front. It's to
limit the options accepted for ID to just a more-restricted subset of #1, in many cases deliberately limiting it to IDs that Democratic voters are statistically less likely to carry or which have a cost that disincentivizes people acquiring them (and which functionally works as a poll tax".
In many cases, Democrats suggested a State-issued ID given to all citizens for free, and Republican support for Voter ID laws
dried up. The goal of so-called Voter ID laws is to disenfranchise legitimate voters, primarily Democratic voters. It is
not, and has
never been, to protect the vote. Anyone telling you that is lying to your face.
