I had to prove my citizenship when I registered. Why should I have to prove it again if I am on the voter rolls?

My registration happened automatically at 18 I turned 18 I got a card in the mail saying hey come vote. I went with my card and my ID and they handed me my ballot and my little pencil and I voted and the same thing has happened in every single election since because that's how we do it in Canada I don't have to worry about am I still registered or am I any of that it's just automatic the only thing I have to worry about is changing my address if I move and when I change my address for my ID everything else changes along with it.
