#1 warned that organized crime might have infiltrated the transportation ministry

Organized crime may also have infiltrated Citizenship & Immigration Canada because only until recently, Canadian passports were not considered proof of Canadian citizenship in Canada. Meaning, the Canadian government itself did not accept Canadian passports as proof of Canadian citizenship. For example, on an application for a passport renewal, your old, expired passport was unacceptable, but a driver's licence was okay! (backed up by other documents such as birth certificates, of course, which we know are so difficult to forge).

Oh...and, you know that all we need to enter the US is a DL.

#2 your old, expired passport was unacceptable

Hell, even your current, valid passport wasn't acceptable. Most people renew before the expiration, about 6 months prior.

But don't worry. On the application they now ask for TWO references, that is, two citizens that can vouch for you that you are indeed a Canadian citizen. No info on whether those two references have to have someone else vouch for them. I think it works on an honour system. My references have never been checked.

#3 I vouchsafe on Canadian Passport applications for friends and aquaintances frequently. But I am not allowed to charge for this service. No charge. Cash on the other hand....

#5 Isn't the Liberal Party an organized crime syndicate? So everything the canucks do is run by organized crime.

#6 "Nor is there any way to authenticate drivers' licences from places such as China, India, Iran and Sri Lanka, meaning there are thousands of motorists who may be on Ontario roads without adequate training".

Guess I'm more concerned about the ones from Iran that have adequate training. If ya catch my drift Duddley.
