CRA is running a public consultation on automatic tax filing. You can fill it out here.

Here's the verbiage about the project

It's unbelievable that Canada makes people with trivial tax needs jump through so many hoops. If someone is elderly and poor, they need to file taxes to receive their full benefits. That's a huge barrier to many people.

Yes they should have auto tax filing for those whom it fits. Also, universal basic income would help to return us to the social cohesion we once had. It would reduce crimes related to being poor or destitute. Hell, this would even result in less wage money going to the police as there is always more peace when there is no financial pressure on the citizenry.
