Passport Delays Are So Bad Even the Bloc are Expressing Their Concern to the Liberals in the HOC. The Federal fiasco is becoming dangerous.

“The Federal fiasco is becoming dangerous. At this point, the police have had to intervene in lineups at passport offices.”

 

“At every hour in every riding, and I’m sure it’s true in all 338 ridings, citizens are desperate and they’re calling us about passports again over the weekend, a nurse had to take time off instead of going to take care of sick people and is waiting in line to have access to passports and Laval police officers had to be sent to calm the discontent of citizens.”

According to the federal government, a fraction of the passports that are normally filed in a year were filed over two years of COVID-19, so during the pandemic, passport staff were given other work. Now, Service Canada is trying to shift that workload elsewhere, hire more staff and open more access points, but has no idea when the backlogs will be resolved.

So what’s behind all of the passport delays?

According to Blacklock’s Reporter many of Service Canada’s employees are still working from home:
“Of 26,136 Service Canada’s employees that handles passport applications, a total 18,362 are working from home.”

Passport offices have been experiencing staffing shortages.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter the agency that runs passport offices suspended hundreds of staff under vaccinate mandates.

“To get a passport, people have to bring their tent and spend the night on the sidewalk that’s happening here in Canada, a G7 country.”

 

Citizens spent the weekend seeing for themselves that no one from the federal government was there at work to help.

“Citizens I camped out all weekend in front of Service Canada offices to try to get a passport. In spite of the wind and the rain, they stayed outside all weekend trying to access this service.”

But for those who produce food on any of the tens of thousands of Canadian farms, they’re feeling the pinch, too, with fertilizer and diesel prices skyrocketing in recent months.

Farmers were among the first to see the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Because those two nations are among the world’s largest wheat producers, the shock to the markets was felt in Canada, with high demand and high prices for Canadian grain.

The anger over the Trudeau government’s plan to have farmers use less fertilizer hasn’t boiled over in this country like it has across the Netherlands, but it’s getting there.

Leslyn Lewis said in the House of Commons today that Canadian farmers keep getting attached by this Liberal Government. “Canadian farmers have been feeding us for generations. They deserve our things, but instead they keep getting attacked by this liberal government.”
