Rex Murphy: Tried to get a passport from your government lately? Canadian citizens are camping out overnight just to get a spot in a line to some offices.
Canada is a wealthy, 21st-century, high-tech country with a vast, heavily qualified, highly paid civil service. Yet people find themselves having to camp out to get the most fundamental document of their very citizenship — the passport.
Do not think however that the Jagmeet Singh-Justin Trudeau government is without feeling on this terrible issue. And how do we know that?
We know it because the same government issued a tender call late last week to buy 801 chairs (535 armrest-free and 266 with armrests) for people standing in line, for delivery to two locations in Montreal.
