Two references who have known you for at least two years plus a guarantor with their own passport is not a high bar.

If Facebook issued a passport.

This looks gaudy

Who’s going to tell them that the order of Canadas Latin motto is a bible verse?

Other than another maple leaf, the Order of Canada's core badge is probably the cleanest swap for the orb-and-cross finial.

Fewer snowflakes present than on the (equally conception) diadem, at least.

Would be cool to see provincial and territorial stones added somewhere.

I agree about the Order of Canada. I don't see anything else that could go there. It's just... I guess it' in need to be accustom to.

It's growing on me

You mean Canada's motto?

 

[Kilted]

Just wait for the government to change to see how much of this gets changed back.

 

[rmc_wannabe]

You mean Canada's motto?

Both

"A Mari Usque Ad Mare" Canada's motto, references Psalm 72:8

"Desiderantes Meliorem Patriam" the motto of the Order of Canada, references Hebrews 11:16.

 

[dapaterson]

Clearly we need a new national motto of "Semper ubi sub ubi".

 

[Booter]

You mean Canada's motto?

No I mean the order of Canada. I actually wasn’t aware of the Psalm connection.

 

[lenaitch]

he was also the last King of Scotland

I thought that was Idi Amin.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

I thought that was Idi Amin.

Nope Idi's self presented title was Conqueror of the British Empire

@mods... motion to rename this thread "Heritage undone" or something like that, because I'd like to talk about the new passport and I don't think a new thread is necessary as it's basically the same topic.

Those images aren't even representative of Canada. They're so generic they could be re-used by just about any country in the northern hemisphere.

You think maybe the current crop of apologists thst are in power had something to do with this?

 

[dangerboy]

To be honest what the inside of a passport looks like doesn't bother me. I don't think I have ever looked beyond the page with my information and picture on it. I could not tell you what was on the other pages.

 

[Good2Golf]

I don’t have any issue with it. Some of the features are actually quite decent IMO.

 

[dapaterson]

The goofiest looking image in your passport will always be your own picture.

 

[Kilted]

The new special edition coins for the Coronation which have the King's Cypher on one side, still have the Queen on the other. I think that this is a pretty good metaphor for government procurement.

Apparently it's been in design for 10 years...so the Harper govt.

On your trip, when you look like your passport picture, its time to come home.

Same.

This old article is once again an example that we go through this sort of thing with the same sort of complaining about the same sort of stuff. Almost as if we are on a 10 year cycle.

The new Canadian passport is a nightmarish tribute to a stultifying past.
