- 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?
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
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
"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.
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 😂
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
“Squirrel eating a nut” 😂
Based on how the Liberals handled the spending for ArriveScan app, I’m sure they’ve blown millions in consultations for something that is not a priority.
Why don’t they show the same passion to fix the crucial issues like housing, crime etc !!!
They made the difficult choice between Canadian veterans and squirrels that eat nuts
That's because they're nuts.
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 😉
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.
*virtually no-one is happy
Turning beautiful, historic imagery into dull mediocrity. That is a decline in standards.
Should include swastikas, hammer and sickle, Chinese flags...inherently Canadian.
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 gayest passport everrrrrrr!! Yaaaasssssss!!🎉
Inclusion? Rainbow flags in the passport? This sounds like psy ops
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
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
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.

erasing our national image... incredibly sad.
Who cares what’s in it as long as it gets you in wherever you’re going.
Lol
Well... there it is
One step closer to the beast system.
Yeah it began with the "inclusion" symbolism…
The beast has already been elected/appointed prime minister.
lets waste more taxpayers money
10 years?! I want that job…
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
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.
They needed 10 years to put nature on passports? No wonder the country is a mess.
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.
The passport office gets to work from home? Good work! 👍🏼
Strikes work
Whoever designed this passport phoned it in
Is this really necessary it’s just a passport who cares such a waste of money
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 current climate of Canada is so bad even I a patriotic Canadian don't feel like I belong here. I want old Canada back.
I'm surprised Turdeau didn't put his own picture on the cover...He's egotistical enough.
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.
No Terry Fox, broooooo, he was an important figure of canada imo
I am shocked that the Government funded CBC is allowing comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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 ...
If you're upset about the images being changed, you need to check your priorities in life
This is all they have right now 😂
Could be worse, you could be the one obsessing over them being ‘required’ to be changed.
@@Dont_have_to_agree 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!!!!!!!!!!!!
hdtv flags are NOT Canadian culture
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.
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?
This new passport look is as much of a joke as the look of our money. 🤮
Big deal. As long as I can get out of Canada whenever I want.
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.
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.
the images look like they're from a Porter airline ad, that's what 10 years of consultation got?
I will say im happy i have the terry fox passport. It has to much Canadian history to take out
narwhals are the jedi of the sea
New passport cover looks like it was created by Microsoft Paint
Inside is a joke, what waste of taxpayers money.
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.
I am VERY SURPRISED that trudoo hasn't decided to have a RAINBOW on the front

@@susantang287 going into the comments and unironically fighting everyone to defend the government is wild
"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.
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.
The passport cover design makes Canada look like Disneyland. It looks too informal and undignified.
10 years of consultations? It looks like it was designed by a bunch of 4th graders....
Yes narwal's the 1st thing I think of when I hear the word Canada.

Pierre Poilievre is so offensive (unpleasant and unnecessary)

PEEPEE Is a fascist CLOWN.
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.
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.
looks like something a 2 yr old put together
All this hysteria over the new look when most people weren’t aware of the old look until 3 seconds ago.🤦♂
Looks like a prompt from a Monty Phyton's film staff.

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

who has been consulted here by the government for this change ?children jumping to a lake represents more canada than the parliament building ???. why don't put Canabis ?
The new inside is fine, the cover looks like it was designed at an elementary school and something that might cause immigration officers to chuckle. The current cover design is more stately.
I agree, I despise the new front cover. Sad I had to get one this year.
Can we make it a pop-up book ??? Please
It will take another ten years. We can't afford these consultations.
CBC didn’t mention but the children jumping in the water at the lake is a photo of Trudeau himself as a child 😂
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.
I’m surprised the maple leaf outline isn’t a tracing of Trudeau admiring his own greatness.

The worst Prime Minister ever. The fact is that they could have kept some of the themes but redesigned them. A happy balance. Well at least they didn’t put a sickle and hammer on the front.
I would assume something bigger is changing based on the fact that we are all focused on the pretty pictures.
One step closer to Socialism when they start erasing history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a bigger picture here people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a complete overhaul, redesigned from the ground up including many new security features. The conservatives criticize the changes because it's the opposition's job to complain at all times. The complaints about non-issues tell you that it's normal business and you can ignore it. No one will care about the passport design until next time it gets redesigned.

Government bureaucracy at its best. Ten years of wasted taxpayers' money. Erase history. Pathetic
10 yrs to design a passport?!? That's where our tax money goes?!?
I love the 'nature' idea, but it doesnt take 10yrs to get to that...
10 years of consultation, wow simple wow!! That is our hard earned tax dollars down the pipe.
This took 10 years of consultations, could they go the library one afternoon and look in the nature section for this photographs.
Aw hell naw bro they gave my passport the corporate art design we ain’t never getting patriotic 💀
Can't they work on / debate on more important issues than passport design? After all we're paying for these guys...

It's actual;ly not childish at all it's because Canadian's don't trust this government.
