From the Horses Mouth:
To vote at the federal election you have to prove your identity and address. There are three ways to do this:
Option 1: Show one of these pieces of ID
- any other card issued by a Canadian government (federal, provincial/territorial or local) with your photo, name and current address
Option 2: Show two pieces of ID
Both must have your name and at least one must have your current address.
Examples:
- voter information card and bank statement
- utility bill and student ID card
Option 3: If you don't have ID
You can still vote if you declare your identity and address in writing and have someone who knows you and who is assigned to your polling station vouch for you.
The voucher must be able to prove their identity and address. A person can vouch for only one person (except in long-term care institutions).

So, you're only technically right, in that you don't need an "official voter ID card", but you do need "Some form of identification" in order to vote. So that, on it's face, would essentially be "needing an ID to vote". Seems pretty racist to me based on what the democrats have been saying.
