Renewing Passport

[derekkj 0]

Dear Mr. Minister,

I'm in the process of renewing my passport, and still cannot believe

this. How is it that Radio Shack has my address and telephone number

and knows that I bought a t.v. cable from them back in 1997, and yet,

the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on

what date. For Christ sakes, do you guys do this by hand?

My birth date you have on my social insurance card, and it is on all

the income tax forms I've filed for the past 30 years. It is on my

health insurance card, my driver's license, on the last eight goddamn

passports I've had, on all those stupid customs declaration forms I've

had to fill out before being allowed off the planes over the last 30

years, and all those insufferable census forms that are done at election

times.

Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's

name is Maryanne, my father's name is Robert and I'd be absolutely

astounded if that ever changed between now and when I die!

I apologize, Mr. Minister. I'm really pissed off this morning.

Between you an' me, I've had enough of this bull$sh!t! You send the

application to my house, then you ask me for my @#&in' address.

What is going on? You have a gang of Neanderthals a$$holes workin'

there!

Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I don't want to

dig up Yasser Arafat, for $hit sakes. I just want to go and park my

a$$ on a sandy beach. And would someone please tell me, why would you give a sh!t

whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? If I ever got the

urge to do something weird to a chicken or a goat, believe you me, I'd

sure as hell not want to tell anyone!

Well, I have to go now, 'cause I have to go to the other end of the

city and get another @#%in copy of my birth certificate, to the tune

of $60! Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the

same spot to assist in the issuance of a new passport the same day??

Nooooo, that'd be too damn easy and maybe make sense. You'd rather

have us running all over the @#%in' place like chickens with our

heads cut off, leaving a big carbon footprint,then find some a$$hole

to confirm that it's really me on the goddamn picture - you know, the

one where we're not allowed to smile?! (@#%in morons) Hey, you know

why we can't smile? We're totally pissed off!

Signed - An Irate @#%ing Canadian Citizen.

P.S. Remember what I said above about the picture and getting someone

to confirm that it's me? Well, my family has been in this country

since 1776 when one of my forefathers took up arms against the

Americans. I have served in the military for something over 30 years

and have had security clearances up the yingyang. I was aide de

camp to the lieutenant governor of our province for ten years and I

have been doing volunteer work for the RCMP for about five years.

However, I have to get someone 'important' to verify who I am - you

know, someone like my doctor WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN

COMMUNIST @#%ing CHINA !!!

HAHA that made me laugh out loud. I never did understand that whole Canadian Guarantor thingy, seems silly to me.

It gives the illusion of security, which is very important for Governments
