They may be gathering for the most important G7 in years, but Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau couldn’t help but compare the sizes of their official jets.

They met on the margins of the G7 Summit in Germany and began by discussing their aircrafts.  Boris said that he spotted “Canada Force One” on the Tarmac at Munich Airport when he touched down this morning.

“Can Force One”, as the plane is known, is an Airbus A310 categorized as a CC-150 Polaris.


Trudeau joked Boris’ Airbus A321 plane was bigger, to which the British PM insisted that his jet is “very modest”.

‘Canada Force One’ stretches to 153ft in length compared to Mr Johnson’s 146ft plane.

Are Passport Delays a Result of Staff Still Working from Home and Staff Shortages Due to Vaccine Mandates? https://canadianriley.com/are-passport-delays-a-result-of-staff-still-working-from-home-and-staff-shortages-due-to-vaccine-mandates/ https://canadianriley.com/are-passport-delays-a-result-of-staff-still-working-from-home-and-staff-shortages-due-to-vaccine-mandates/?noamp=mobile#respond Tue, 21 Jun 2022 18:54:59 +0000 https://canadianriley.com/?p=748 Unprecedented demand for Canadian passports has led to delays in processing times, putting eager travelers in limbo ahead of the summer travel season.

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.

Passport Delays Are So Bad The Provincial Police are Having to Clean Up The Liberal Federal Government’s Mess

Passport Delays Are So Bad Even the Bloc are Expressing Their Concern to the Liberals in the HOC. The Federal fiasco is becoming dangerous. At this point, the police have had to intervene in lineups at passport offices, and they’re not just managing people’s anger. They’re answering questions on behalf of federal employees.

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

“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.”
