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 f***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 s*** 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 s**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 f***kin' 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***kin' place like chickens with our
heads cut off, 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?!

(f**** morons)

Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're totally pissed off!

Signed - An Irate f***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
f***ing China!!!!

Poster's note: Not hard to see why there was the 'Gun registry' fiasco
and cost overrun. Overrun! Wow it more like a financial disaster, more
than a billion dollars. Eh?
