It's not like we've made no progress on modernizing things, and a 10 year passport should have enough checks to keep it secure from fraud.


Coming home from Mexico I took a moment to enjoy just how great re-entering Canada is compared to the past. I filed my info in ArriveCan. I have a new phone, and hadn't set it up, but once the plane landed I got data, entered all the info on the taxi in, then went to a machine, did a quick scan and photo(no line despite being mid-plane) and walked on out. No more soul crushing line mazes where you get grilled about returning home. My point is, it's not all garbage.
Its 2025. This should be expected from any 1st world country.

And it has nothing to do with how we should measure ourselves as a country.

What we SHOULD be using is maybe GDP per capita? Or is that the boogyman subject nobody wants to talk about?

1st world country rich with resources getting poorer by the year because of decades of incompetant government stupidity. Both provincial and federal.
