WHAT IS THIS? A PASSPORT FOR BLUE WHALES??

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They somehow never watched Idiocracy

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

That clip is from Zoolander though

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

probably for giant aliens when they land in toronto for the first time.

I'm no Canadian passport connoisseur but when were they red? My old one from 10 years ago is blue so I'm not sure what that's about?

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 74 points 1 day ago (3 children)

They are, but only if you're a diplomat

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The White Power Ranger one is badass.

It's also expensive and very shortlived, so it has at least that going for it. Source: found out my passport had expired 24 hours before boarding a flight; Also, austrian temp passports are also white

You probably left the EU or something.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No one ever said it was red.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

But they said it wasn't red. So one would question when they were.

I think I get it. They are expecting the passport to be red like the flag.

I think their point is that there would be no reason to saying that it's not red if there was also no assumption of it being red in the first place

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I'm not a racist, but seven doesn't feel like a prime number.

They are correct. That is way too big.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

At that size of a passport, in an international emergency, you could use your passport as a shelter or flotation device .... is it also bullet proof?

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

The U.S. bulletproof model was proposed for school children. Sadly, Republicans successfully fought against it, because it "Would give the kids an unfair advantage over the school shooters."

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Never thought of it before but they could make sections of this new enormous passport edible .... pages 14 to 16 could be used as an emergency ration if you get caught in a war zone.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It doubles as a riot shield, just in case.

I'm case you have a layover in US?

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Why blue? White with red trimming would be nicer.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Iirc, you can only choose red, blue, black, and green. Maybe other colors are possible, but not preferred (I can see a white passport looking pretty rough after a couple years, if you’re a heavy traveler). No idea why they wouldn’t stick with red though.

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

You can see the text on the front of them for what they are for. Blue are regular passports for casual travel. Red are diplomatic passports for high ranking officials. Green are special passports for senators, MPs or government workers on official business. White temporary passports are usually issued abroad where a Canadian citizen has an urgent requirement to travel but doesn't have a passport for whatever reason.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago

Also not new. Mine already looks like this one.

[–] Twitches@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You guyses don't think that might be a bit large for travel /s

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I gotta say, it's the perfect size for huge trips!

You can’t see the forest for the r’s

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

i think 2 Rs would be a mistake, 3 or more intentional

[–] weird@sub.wetshaving.social 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I made a mistake initially but you know, mistakes are just happy little accidents
