I'm no Canadian passport connoisseur but when were they red? My old one from 10 years ago is blue so I'm not sure what that's about?

They are, but only if you're a diplomat
Ah ok that makes sense
You probably left the EU or something.
I do not think they have ever been red
Why blue? White with red trimming would be nicer.
Iirc, you can only choose red, blue, black, and green. Maybe other colors are possible, but not preferred (I can see a white passport looking pretty rough after a couple years, if you’re a heavy traveler). No idea why they wouldn’t stick with red though.
I believe red is usually reserved for diplomatic type passports.
Singapore?
And the EU have burgundy which is red-adjacent
Unless I'm mistaken, that's a Canadian passport pictured and in Canada red (maroon) passports are diplomatic.
White are temporary passports for Canadian citizens outside Canada who require passports but their regular passport application is being processed.
EU passports are red (burgundy)
Not Croatia, but yes, all others it seems.
However, in Canada, the country in question, diplomatic passports (red cover) are issued to high-ranking Government of Canada officials and diplomats, as well as representatives and delegates of the Government of Canada to international governmental organizations and international conferences of a diplomatic nature.
You guyses don't think that might be a bit large for travel /s
I gotta say, it's the perfect size for huge trips!
At that size of a passport, in an international emergency, you could use your passport as a shelter or flotation device .... is it also bullet proof?
It doubles as a riot shield, just in case.
Also not new. Mine already looks like this one.
*Forest
You can’t see the forest for the r’s
i think 2 Rs would be a mistake, 3 or more intentional
we're almost up to a fiverest
I made a mistake initially but you know, mistakes are just happy little accidents
i see, i arived late to the parrty, didn't notice the edit
