Bloc leader Blanchet criticizes Trudeau for going to Rwanda on your dollar when back at home Canadians are unable to get a passport. If Canadians are unable to get a passport to go on their trip, they lose their money. pic.twitter.com/jhLlItNm41

Blanchet said “There’s nothing there’s something terrible when in a free and democratic country, people are lined up with the new trip tickets and numbers”

“Another week and more chaos at our airports and even if you want it to go anywhere getting a passport is turning into a Canadian made nightmare. “

Don't worry, there are no issues. It's completely normal to send in police to control crowds at passport offices.https://t.co/qHtHm7gncf

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.

“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.”

With headlines like these and trending hashtag’s like this: #TrudeauMustGo, have we seen the end of Trudeau?

Between Covid, vaccine mandates, Canada’s inflation, NDP-Liberal collision, invocation of the Emergencies Act, high gas prices, gun policies, WEF, internet censoring and passport delays to name a few, confidence and trust in the Trudeau Government is at a low.

Candice Bergen calls out: The Liberals are a disaster they can’t get anything right.

“You know it everything these liberals touches a disaster”

Conservatives: It’s Time to End this Spiral of Chaotic Liberal Incompetence.

“who will have the courage to stand up the Prime Minister.”

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.”

“I completely understand the frustration Canadians are facing right now.”

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.

Are passport delays due to employees still working from home?

“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.

People Camping Outside Passport Offices Watched All Weekend and No Workers Came.

“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.”

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.

As many Canadians look to travel abroad, some passport seekers say they’ve been forced to camp outside service centers or reschedule trips because of the bureaucratic bottleneck.

This is the lineup for passports at my local @ServiceCanada_E in Montreal. It’s not isolated – it’s a daily occurrence being repeated all across the country. You think this is acceptable @SeanFraserMP @karinagould? We’re a G7 country, act like it. deserves better. pic.twitter.com/p1qkwRklba

Other travelers complain that Passport Canada online application status tracker is not working and no one is answering passport Canada phone number.

Service Canada announced it had hired 600 new employees to help with processing passport applications, had opened more dedicated passport intake counters in Service Canada locations, had created more processing hubs, and had introduced a new workload management system and processing technology to increase efficiency.

Service Canada continues to hire and train more employees, including the integration of up to 600 new employees over the course of the year and the reassignment of up to 600 employees to passport service delivery.

Minister Karina Gould said “We understand that this situation is difficult and stressful. … The minister has directed officials to work as hard as possible to meet the demand and to examine operations to ensure they’re doing everything they can,”

Canadians continue to have to pay Service Canada for expedited passports, despite the minister assuring this house, that this wouldn’t be the case, half the time they’re not even getting the enhanced service they’re being forced to pay for this directive first came out weeks ago. And yet it’s still not being implemented.
