Canadian Passport

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 crying out loud, do you guys do this by hand? My birth date, you
have on my social insurance card, is on all the income tax forms I've
filed for the past 30 years, my health insurance card, my driver's licence, on
the last eight bloody 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 off this morning. Between you an' me,I've
had enough! You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my
fu ** in' address. What is going on? You have a gang of Neanderthals
workin' there?! Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden?
I don't want to dig up Yasser Araft, for crying out loud. I just want to go
and park my butt on a sandy beach. And would someone please tell me,
why would you give a ???? 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 fu ** 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 easy and maybe make sense. You'd rather have us running all over
the fu ** in place like chickens with our heads cut off, then find some
asshole to confirm that it's really me on the stupid picture - you know, the
one.

Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're FU ** ING ticked off!

go and have a shower you'll feel a lot better after. Sheesh some people youd think the Gov. does this on purpose. No way they cannot think that intelligently.

scary thought though I have to do the same thing myself soon and last time I was still a Kiwi.But you cannot immagine the hassele my wife has her parents worked for Aus. gov in New Guinea before it was independant so she was in all legal scense a Aus citizen but today, oh no sir brown cow you must be a Papuan New Guinean H@lls B@lls
