Actual letter to the Canadian Passport office
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 bullshit! You send the
application to my house, then you ask me for my address. What is going
on? You have a gang of Neanderthals assholes workin' there!
Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I don't want to
dig up Yasser Arafat, for shit sakes. I just want to go and park my ass
on a sandy beach.
And would someone please tell me, why would you give a shit 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 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 place like chickens with our heads cut off, then
find some asshole to confirm that it's really
me on the picture - you know, the one where we're not allowed to smile?!
Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're totally pissed off!
Signed - An Irate 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
CHINA!!!
Hamilton, Ontario Canada
