Its from alot of stuff I assume.
It stems from the 2 parties differing philosophy of what a $70 Canadian Passport means - does it mean that if you go do a place that isnt the safest and something happens that Canada should spend money to come get you - Phillipeans is a good example today, I am sure there are a few non racist Canadians or even South Asians trapped, but I doubt you will see them on the CBC demanding the govt fly them out for free.
They bring out the racist word likely because of what happened in Lebanon a few years ago, and this Toronto woman, who is suing for 12 mil or so because Canada didnt believe who she said she was and also took away her passport and forwarded to Nigerian? authorities for fraud.
Here is a pic from the National Post (apologize for size). One is her passport pic and one is the pic at the Canadian embassy/consulate. From that and a few basic questions like what does TTC stand for, who is or have been Canada's Prime Ministers among others (she had resided in Toronto for 10 years), also she couldnt tell the birth date of her son or name Lake Ontario according to court papers filed today.
She eventually had a DNA match test done with her son in TO at which time Canada gave her passport back and returned her home.
