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’s 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sh*t!
I apologize, Mr. Minister. I'm really pissed off this morning. Between you
and me, I've had enough of this bullshit! You send the application to my
house, then you ask me for my @#&in' address. What's 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 sh*t 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 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 youme, 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 f*cking 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 f*cking place like chickens with our heads cut off,
then find some asshole to confirm that it's really me on the goddamn picture - you know, the one where we're not allowed to smile?!
(f*cking morons)
Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're totally pissed off!
Signed - An Irate f*cking 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 theAmericans.
I have served in the military for something over 30 years and have had
security clearances up the yingyang. I was aide decamp 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 F*CKING CHINA!!!
