E-petition
Initiated by Laurie Pangman from Sutton West, Ontario
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- Canadian passports are an important reflection of our national identity, culture, and heritage;
- The Liberal government is replacing the current version of the Canadian passport and removing references to important iconic Canadian history such as Terry Fox, the Vimy Ridge Memorial, Nellie McClung, the Stanley Cup, and the Fathers of Confederation; and
- This redesign of the Canadian passport has replaced these important depictions of Canadian history and heroes with meaningless images of a squirrel eating a nut, a man raking leaves, and a boy jumping into a lake.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada., call upon the Government of Canada to respect our country’s history by retaining the important references to our Canadian heritage in the updated passport design.
