Passport waiting times in Halifax

A friend of mine went in to the passport office in Halifax on Thursday afternoon. As has been reported in the news, there was a waiting room and an overflow waiting room. The total waiting time was 5 to 6 hours.

What's not being reported in the news is that the waiting times are for people that require there passports right away. Fortunately he's not travelling until late May. There is another area in the Maritime Centre, where the Passport Office is located, for those that don't require there passports right away, the total wait time there was just over an hour. Agents at the passport office were directing people to the appropriate spots.

It just proves the points that I've previously made. Those people who are incapable of planning or have lived in a cave over the last few months are the ones complaining about Passport Canada's inability to plan for those incapable of planning for themselves.

I'm glad Passport Canada didn't hire, as has been suggested, I would be quite pissed off if my tax money paid for the stupidity of those who can't or refuse to plan there own affairs (quite frankly I'm surprised most of these people could plan to have a piss let alone plan a vacation).
