- The government unveiled a new passport design, which features animals (bears, narwhals and owls) and natural scenes, such as children jumping into a lake. Some critics have questioned why historical Canadian figures, monuments and buildings are no longer featured.

The passport looks like a brochure for renting a cottage
Lol, yeah, and made in a kindergarten classroom.
LITERALLY!
Owned by the Trudeau family!
@@BRENDANTHERED exactly. those pages look straight out of a children's colouring book 🤮
So... visiting Canada?
The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history. ― George Orwell
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a bunch of cliche quote spewing by you. Most people don’t even flip through their passports. They just hand it over to border patrol and move on. Y’all are crying over something that has no significant effect on anyone. It’s hilarious 😂
How much does anyone wanna bet that they spent tens of millions on consultation on it should look.
Of Course and the consultations were made by a public relations company that has personal connections to an MP or 2.
It's what that former Greek Prime minister said
Global south countries have corruption on a personal low level scale.
Developed advanced countries have corruption on an industrial level involving all sort of sophisticated technology, schemes and high tech legal scams.
betting Billions with a B
Who did they consult - any Canadians older than 10?
I mean, Canada spends 2x LESS per person on healthcare compared to Murica, yet its mostly free (IMAGINE if we spent the same). Every liberal idea is 2x better while costing 2x less than what Cons can come up, so probably not much.
@@BenLA5 Spends less money but no-one can access it lol Oh Canada! Wait times for over 12 months. We'll be lucky if America gives us their healthcare
The first statement in this report said “10 years of consultations “. Why are we just hearing about it now?
I believe George Carlin once said it succinctly, it’s a big club and you’re not invited
Because it was probably just an idea floating around...
Yeah they probably consider some conversation they had in private 10 years ago "consultations" if it's anything like the other standards of this clownshow government.
10 years ago: "The passport should get a makeover" ... "yeah maybe someday"
Now:
It's not a secret, governments are constantly updating their passports with better security features. It's a never-ending process. And with 38.25 million Canadians, it's not like they are going to ask each one of us for our personal opinion.
The fact that 2 of the 6 people couldn't unveil a picture at the reveal seems like an appropriate metaphor.
Metaphor for what? That Canadians are short?
Not sure what is unclear. @@AJ-to8lb
K we got weed legalized. We no longer need Trudeau.
I didn't vote Trudeau for the weed. I voted him to kick Harper out and any Conservatives after that, because they're a bunch of racists from Alberta.
10 years of consultations?! Wowwza... someone was making sure they had a job.
Unlike rabbits,you can’t just pull a squirrel out of a hat
10 years of consultations of doing absolutely nothing, and then on the last day decided to change it around to make it look worse.
We honour our veterans by removing their images from the passport. Makes perfect sense... 😔😔😔
Why should we honor the veterans? They're just doing their job, nothing honorable about a soldier
I’m a veteran & I remember our great leader saying to a brother “We don’t have anymore to give.” Every veteran knows what he’s all about.
@@martinsmith5520 Theres also nothing honourable about you watching your wife get screwed by other men.
@@martinsmith5520 i know your liberal never done honest job in your life soy boy
We are not in the USA but yes it is the same culture .... english canada is a USA Culture
Children jumping into a lake? Or is it a particular child who happens to be Justin? Pathetic reporting.
I am glad our diverse Canadian children will get a new colouring book with animal pictures. Pathetic passport from the outside and inside - makes it look like a joke.
“Squirrel eating a nut” 😂
Inclusion? Rainbow flags in the passport? This sounds like psy ops
"10 years of consultation" Now you know how your money is spent....
Who did they consult? That's what gets me. "Consultation" could mean anything. It could mean they asked Trudeau ten times over the course of ten years ton provide one image for one page.
Why do you even need a consultation?
What about a poppy page? If we are going towards a more natural look, poppies are nature and a symbol of our veterans.
They want to erase history not glorify it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed
A fox page, we'll just call the fox Terry. Terry the Fox.
They have to change the images because of counterfeit reasons? Ok... so there's only one image they could ever use of Terry Fox and the other current images?
good argument but doesn't change what beurocrats look at unfortunately
@@alpearson9158 It's a transparent excuses not a credible reason.
@@hermittmog8697 seems unnecessary
The security changes are separate from the changing of images.
@@hermittmog8697 What do you mean by transparent excuses
Anything that has men attached to it is removed:
1. Parliament's Centre Block
2. Stanley Cup
3. Last spike (Canadian Pacific Railway)
4. Nellie McClung
5. Terry Fox
6. Canadian National Vimy Memorial
there's a page with four boys jumping in a lake as well as two people in a canoe. There's also a page with a barn on it.
@@y0utuberculosis There are differences between representation of men.
The one you mentioned with boys jumping in a lake and men in canoes/barn. It can't get any more generic then that.
But then you have images of historical achievements done by men.
The latter is the reason those 6 were removed.
How does Nellie McClung have men attached to her? A person who dedicated her life to women's rights somehow is related to men being deleted. Wtf are you even talking about
@@Kyle_Reid The modern feminist is opposite of what Nellie McClung did during her time. Modern feminism taught women to hate men, reject motherhood, devalue the roles of wives, prioritize money over family.
Nellie McClung was a maternal feminism. For this reason, many feminists do not see maternal feminism as feminist.
If the images being reused is really a security concern create new images of the SAME subjects. Simple! The most transparent part of this government is their excuses.
or just put in pictures of A MAN RAKING LEAVES........ What were they thinking
Imagine taking the time out of your day to be offended at the art in passports.
@@christophertrenholm9668 Imagine watching your cultural symbols (passport images, statues, street names, school names etc.) slowly being erased and not only not noticing it, but cheering it and even mocking those more observant than yourself.
@@christophertrenholm9668 Moron.
I completely agree with your comment. The whole thing about changing images for security reasons is false. Like other changes this government has made, it appeases certain people that want to change history. The passport should not be a natural science exhibit. It should show the things that made Canada what it is.
Canadian passports are getting a new look, but not everyone is happy,
More like,
Canadian passports are getting a new look, but everyone is not happy
The cover design changed from official document for travel to a souvenir notepad sold in a museum gift shop.
Turning beautiful, historic imagery into dull mediocrity. That is a decline in standards.
This government does not listen to the people anymore. That's how out of touch they are. Most Canadians don't want the changes in design.
How could a Government exclude veterans who have fought for this country and country symbols like Terry Fox.
This is how you know Canada is on the wrong course. This PM does not speak for all Canadians. This is still a minority gov.
I bet you supported the convoy who disgraced his statue in Ottawa
@@ryanradcliffe9756 All real Canadians supported the convoy.
Only leftist authoritarians were against real Canadians standing against tyranny
@@ryanradcliffe9756 They put a Canadian flag in his arm. If that disgraced the statue then it's only because Trudeau and his party of criminal tyrants have disgraced our country.
Now you’re concerned about the veterans? Where were you in 2007 when the Stephen Harper Conservative government reduced veterans lifelong compensation and disability-related expenses by 46%?
Harper Harper Harper....what about John A McDonald, Mckenzie, Diefenbacker etc. All Did some good and some bad. This is on Trudeau's watch. I could care less about previous administration.
Erase history by defunding the cBc
If you're upset about the images being changed, you need to check your priorities in life
This is all they have right now 😂
@J K You know this is something that has been done regularly, right? Passports and money get periodically redesigned.
you need to wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Orwell knew that when the government starts to erase your history Socialism is upon us!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ayo.... Why is trudeau always shouting and screaming lol so much drama just to blurt out his point of view.
I am VERY SURPRISED that trudoo hasn't decided to have a RAINBOW on the front
Trudeau should thinking about how to word his resignation
@@SnowWhite-hr4ho The guy belongs in prison.
What’s wrong with a rainbow? It gives such beauty.
Grow Up you Snowflake!! 🏳️🌈
@@susantang287 going into the comments and unironically fighting everyone to defend the government is wild
We should have a picture of the white house on fire in remembrance of the war of 1812.
I mean, the British did that, not us, but maybe the Battle of Queenston Heights could be good
As long as they don't put drag queens and rainbow flags in the passport, it's all good.
Why so insecure? 😂
@@Raza__12 Now, now. If the passports does have pride flags. All the "Anti-woke" conservatives would burn their passports in "protest", and can't leave Canada.
😂😂😂
@S R They should put one flag in the passport, the Canadian flag.
*virtually no-one is happy
Who was consulted? Certainly not me. I was proud of what the images on the old passport represented about Canada and our history. It could even be a talking point with my friends to the South. Not much to say about random birds and bears, and certainly not about random kids jumping in a lake. Nothing about it says something uniquely Canadian.
I feel like I'm carrying around a kids colouring book now.
The passport cover design makes Canada look like Disneyland. It looks too informal and undignified.
I am surprised the new passport doesn't have the portrait of Justinius Trudous Pontifici Maximum on the cover.
@First Last Thats the new MAID program.
u want Canadians to worship Trudeau like Kim Jong un???
Yes, I'm surprised Chairman Trudeau wasn't featured on every page really
Yeah it does! The page with the kid jumping in the lake that’s him. Doesn’t get any more narcissistic and subliminal than that!
Don’t worry, it’s coming 😉
Oh my God are you freaking worried about a passport what’s inside it silly pictures big deal why don’t you worry about more important things like the homeless the city falling apart taxes taxes taxes put on us that they should be lowered instead of wasting money on complaining about a passport it’s a freaking passport people
I will say im happy i have the terry fox passport. It has to much Canadian history to take out
This is more inclusion? I thought it was gunna be some indigenous history or something, not some animals. Give us our history back
So, we are getting a zoo book instead of piece of ID!😂 This Govt has been a joke...🇨🇦💘💸
Honestly animals are more worth it than us
🤦🏼
Weird how no one called Harper a joke when he released the previous passport which was just a maple leaf on every page.
@@leech3427 Our political leaders💩 and religious leaders💩 whomever they might be have been a joke🤪 and lead us stray! 🇨🇦💘💸
I love nature and animals!
CBC didn’t mention but the children jumping in the water at the lake is a photo of Trudeau himself as a child 😂
New passport cover looks like it was created by Microsoft Paint
Big deal. As long as I can get out of Canada whenever I want.
Make no mistake, this is about taking away all the hallmarks of Canadian national pride, so that the citizenry will not be proud of their nation and culture. It's like telling the Chinese to tear down the Great Wall of China .
They replaced Vimy Ridge with a squirrel eating a nut?
Removing Terry Fox is crazyyy
Stop meat riding another man online
Dont take away Terry Fox 😢
Stop meat riding a man
Is this really necessary it’s just a passport who cares such a waste of money
Who cares what’s in it as long as it gets you in wherever you’re going.
Lol
Well... there it is
To be honest it looks like someone phoned this one in.... Hey that is not the "Snowflake Crown" that is the former Queen's Crown.
Why is money being spent on this? We have homeless people.
Since when do leftists care about the people?
All they care about is power.
So because we have homeless people no one gets passports? Rude and ignorant comment. You failed grade 6.
0:34 WHEN WAS THERE CONSULTATION??????????????????? 10 years of it??? I never got consulted.
Removing Terry Fox’s memory from Canada is about as low as it gets! He was a selfless true Canadian hero struck down in his prime by a horrible disease! And Justin Trudeau wants his efforts and memories erased! Truly unbelievable!
There are more honorable people than Terry Fox ... the problem with Canada in 2023 is the majority of Canadians have USA values and no identity ...
hdtv flags are NOT Canadian culture
The gayest passport everrrrrrr!! Yaaaasssssss!!🎉
Horrible passport the cover is fine the pages looks like a kinder garden school book
I'm surprised Turdeau didn't put his own picture on the cover...He's egotistical enough.
History is washed out. Sad😮
Nice! Kinda like a coloring book but in the form of a passport. Just what we need.
Yes, it is just what we need. More fun, more colour please!
It’s cheap the new passport bends. Fast and screw a up the pages . Great I travel a lot it will be messed up so fast
Inside is a joke, what waste of taxpayers money.
OMG, such an important issue for Canada. and, I had milk, egg and bread for breakfast. i walked my dog in the park after that.
They needed 10 years to put nature on passports? No wonder the country is a mess.
The current climate of Canada is so bad even I a patriotic Canadian don't feel like I belong here. I want old Canada back.
Why don't they put Trudeau's face in the passport?
I would love that. He is so hot.
I’m surprised the maple leaf outline isn’t a tracing of Trudeau admiring his own greatness.
You mean like when Harpo change Government of Canada to Harper Government? No one outside of the CPC does that grandiose bullshit.
@Paying more will save the planet. Maybe it's just that I don't buy into conspiracy theories or watch made up news.
@@PickledAndFermented pointing out Trudeaus narcissism doesnt remove the issues of previous governments either. 🤦♀️ We voted cons out because they were robbing us. They had to go because they were too corrupt. Liberals need to go for the same reason.
@Paying more will save the planet. It seems you’re permanently in that state. The new updated features were started in 2013.
@@susantang287 Features are different than images. We're talking about images. The images in the new passport are an insult to Canadians.
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for free 6872
The cover looks really awesome, inside… not so much
looks like cheap cheques?
It is the perfect image of our society of Canada being a USA culture ... nice outside but horrible inside
The new passport is a sad statement. Don't want to show our historic past, don't want to show our cultural icons, no Canadian idols (like Terry Fox) all in an effort not to offend. But while not offending, we're also not inspiring anything with that colour book. The only thing it says is that you are a citizen of a weak ideology destined for extinction. This is not the mentality that won WW2.
This is actually smart.
The 'nature' and 'wildlife' depicted will also soon be history.
This. What nature will be left with all the grey concrete towers in the cities no one can afford to live in?
But sure, by all means, change the passports andreprint money to put Charles on our bills 🙄
@@AlexaLikes lol its not about the towers it’s about the fact that we’re burning all the forests and all the glaciers are melting
@qwerty the glaciers melting for the last 50 years should have put 1/2 of our country under water by 2020. The glaciers melting is part of the planets natural process. We have no control over it.

erasing our national image... incredibly sad.
This is what they're arguing about in the house of commons?? I don't flip open my passport to be reminded of Vimy Ridge, the passport pages don't represent anything other than a place to collect your foreign stamps.
Space remains in your brain!
@ what does that mean?
lets waste more taxpayers money
sockboy looks like he's about to laugh/cry at the end of his ridiculous chidish hissyfit!
Seems to me the last passport had a "History / People of Canada" theme. This is a "Nature of Canada" theme from what I can tell.
My fellow Canadians who are complaining about this are complaining about a non issue.
It is a non-issue, just like people pushing to have it changed was a non-issue. My issue is, how much of the Canadian tax dollars was used to go from step 1 to done on these passport changes? Because it seems pointless and when we are in a bad financial state economically, spending and doing stuff like this seems counter productive.
Excellent way to look at this, I love it.

Wasting taxpayer money
Find it very defensive from PM when the concerns is very legitimate in our mind of the Canadian, if you think counterfeit is the main concern, improve your technology, not images 😅
They think STOCK images of scenery are more secure
They can also redraw the images of the same theme of our heritage. Why draw a squirrel ? How does a squirrel represent Canada ? Oh yes, we are squirrels that eats peanuts. Morons.
All this hysteria over the new look when most people weren’t aware of the old look until 3 seconds ago.🤦♂
I have nothing against upgrading the security features but the new design I personally do not like. Can someone check to see if any of Trudeau's pals worked for the firm that designed this new passport ? As for the people asked for their opinion did they all belong to the Liberal faithful? Personally, I think Trudeau has to go. I say this as a person that always voted Liberal but I refuse to vote for the Liberals as long as they have Trudeau as leader. Please get dump Freeland also.
Aw hell naw bro they gave my passport the corporate art design we ain’t never getting patriotic 💀
The passport office gets to work from home? Good work! 👍🏼
Strikes work
Whoever designed this passport phoned it in
Why, tell me why? We need to save money people! Save money!
Who cares. Has anyone spent more than 10 seconds looking at their passport more than twice a year? I'm only worried about the security features.
Whenever the Govt mentions security features it’s not your security they are worried about
right? I like the new pictures, and I thought the old pictures were nice, either sometimes it's fun to show them to people from other countries on my travels but in the grand scheme who cares?
Yeah I don't love the new cover design but it's not like I'm handling the thing every day. This whole story is kind of a nothing burger.
You right I even forgot to sign it and was reminded to sign it not once but twice during my one way trip to Europe and out of Canada for good lol
Hey at least the didn’t add woke stuff
Wait.... there are images on the pages of our passports? Clearly, I've never noticed. But I'm very happy about the new security measures. Long overdue.
The new design is terrible! I will regret the day I have to renew my passport.
"10 years of consultations" for a worse looking passport that removed many culturally significant moments, people and things. The govt spent likely insane amounts of money to do this too. Terrible.
people only watched enough to complain about the picture what about no more going to a service canada office to renew, that is so much better
Soon we can get rid of passport officials working from home.
And you forgot also that with the new passport the King is asking other countries to give us freedom of entry instead of the Queen.
Ugh. We seriously need to ditch the monarchy already.
Ahh yes, who doesn't remember sitting on the classroom floor, gathered around the teacher, as they went through their passport page by page telling the stories behind each image. That's why we need historical imagery in our passports. There is no other way we'd learn about Canada's history.

The beast has already been elected/appointed prime minister.

I have always been proud to hold and present my current Canadian passport when travelling abroad. It is classy to me. I love nature and wildlife, but it is not serious.
This new passport look is as much of a joke as the look of our money. 🤮
It’s a passport redesign, when did people get triggered by a redesign? We only use it when we travel, store it away when we don’t. No issue with it.
The CPC has no policies so they are leaning into culture wars like the Republicans in the US.
2:55 War is not something to be proud of. Besides, armies do not serve the people, they serve the interests of big corporations. But that's just my opinion.
They died to maintain your rights. When Belgium was invaded by the Germans, who committed atrocities, Britain responded to the call, and Canada followed Britain. But since defending your country and democratic values is not something to be proud of I guess we should disband our Armed Forces, withdraw from NATO, and stop supporting Ukraine.
Imagine working on a kids picture book for 10years and still failing..
They say it isn't the Pride Flag, but has 4 of the colors that are in the flag! WHY would they do this NOW?
The Royal Canadian Legion has nothing to complain about when they them selves barred anyone without a jab from entering and participating in functions including the vary veterans that fought to preserve our freedom to do so!
there are effects from not considering others. That is one of them.

When Trudeau took office he did so with a SURPLUS thanks to the Conservative government. The most debt Canada has incurred was $500-BILLION, even in tough times. Thanks to Trudeau Canada has CATASTROPHIC DEBT to the tune of $1.2-TRILLION+ & INTEREST on this debt $1-BILLION owe week. The interest EXCEEDS what we pay for healthcare. THAT IS NOT GOOD!!!
Trudeau has NO education NO work experience & NO life experience to draw from. The ONLY way he knows to solve problems is THROW MONEY at it. Consultants are running this country. None of his people are qualified to handle the portfolios they represent.
Thanks to Trudeau & Singh, Canadians are FORCED into CATASTROPHIC DEBT that MANY generations will be paying for. He has NO INTEREST in balancing the budget or paying down HIS debt.
Pierre is the person who will balance the budget, start paying down the debt & provide a BETTER LIFE for all Canadians & WON’T be relying on consultants to steer the ship. He has the experience, the education & the know how, unlike Trudeau who knows NOTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING.
Unlike you, I, like many Canadians are tired of the INCOMPETENCE, CORRUPTION, SCANDALS & STUPIIDITY. that is Trudeau & his NDP coalition & want them gone so our economy WILL FLOURISH under Pierre’s leadership, no more corruption,scandals, lies, deceit, fraudulent use of taxpayer dollars, less taxes & more money in our pockets!!
With Trudeau & Singh in charge, Canadians will continue to get poorer due to the MASSIVE & UNNECESSARY spending, massive & incompetence, corruption, scandals, lies, deceit, etc.
