Why everything seems so hard now especially in obtaining documents such as ID, PASSPORT, and other paraphernalia, certification, etc. YOU KNOW WHY? Because of HIGH TECH. Everything is digitalized.
Long time ago, ten years ago when you can just apply PHILIPPINE PASSPORT by filling up the forms, include the most important documents with notarization from local NOTARY PUBLIC or LAWYER and you sent it by mail and in three weeks you can receive it. NOW? You have to book an appointment to get into the main office in Vancouver for the biometrics, etc. This is great if you live walking distance to the Philippine Consulate but if you live thousand miles from the Mainland this is a pain and double pain if you have medical condition wherein long travel is crucial. Is there exception to the rule?
I think some people think that everything is easy and all the people have the luxury of having loads and tons of money. Every move, every action here in Canada requires lots of money!
How about getting an ID? It is EASY TO GET AN ID if you are WHITE CANADIANS. It was too easy for me before but with the latest technology and new rules that upset everyone. Sometimes please use some LOGIC and be as humane as possible. If you can trust a big dog not to bite you, you could also trust a human when they are in need of new ID such as BC CARD.
BC CARD is not for sale. IT IS FREE! You don't pay for it in British Columbia so why hard on some people who needs a new ID? Its not your name on that ID it's the applicant's name and photo.
Then those politicians begging for your votes, your validation of being your representatives in the Government... THEY ARE BEGGING FOR YOUR VOTES! So that they can have a place in the Government TO SERVE. That's what it is to serve with a purpose to HELP THE PEOPLE. If that's not your purpose then its a lost cause.
Just the same that those Government Employees should know their job, job category and why they are at the front desk serving people while they are PAID. You guys are paid to work why is it hard for you to do the work? THE GOVERNMENT IS FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, OF THE PEOPLE!
