Impossible to get Basic ID

Hi, I've tried everything I can to get basic photo ID in Ontario but unable to because of the strict requirements. Therefore I'm denied many public services. I feel like im being denied my rights.

I keep getting rerouted to different places. I email them, they tell me to phone them, then they tell me to go to the service center. I go to the service center and they say i don't have the right documents etc. I try to explain to them my situation but nope they tell me to go somewhere else or give me the guarantor paper. The problem is I can't get a guarantor, I don't know anyone.

All I have is a canadian citizenship card, all of my other documents are expired.

I cannot get a guarantor because i don't know anyone for more than 2 years

I don't understand why Proof of canadian citizenship isn't enough to get basic photo ID? The requirements are too strict.

Please explain WHY and the specifics of these security measures so i can understand.

I am now thinking of leaving Ontario to get better service this is ridiculous.
