There are correct. That is way too big.
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?
No one ever said it was red.
But they said it wasn't red. So one would question when they were.
I think I get it. They are expecting the passport to be red like the flag.
Admire that you did this. Believe it or not, a lot of people on Lemmy have a hard time pointing out their mistakes. Commendable.
That says it's not red
I think their point is that there would be no reason to saying that it's not red if there was also no assumption of it being red in the first place
I'm not a racist, but seven doesn't feel like a prime number.
Yeah exactly that
They are, but only if you're a diplomat
The White Power Ranger one is badass.
Ah ok that makes sense
You probably left the EU or something.

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.
I'm case you have a layover in US?
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.
You can see the text on the front of them for what they are for. Blue are regular passports for casual travel. Red are diplomatic passports for high ranking officials. Green are special passports for senators, MPs or government workers on official business. White temporary passports are usually issued abroad where a Canadian citizen has an urgent requirement to travel but doesn't have a passport for whatever reason.
I believe red is usually reserved for diplomatic type passports.
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.
Swiss passports are bright red fwiw.
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.

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!
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
