Biggest Annoyance in the World in my Opinion

I think the one thing in the world that enrages me more than anything else...and there's plenty out there to be pissed about...is the fact that it's necessary to have an EU passport to work in Europe, or the fact that there are so many ridiculous visa restrictions out there. Anyone who knows me knows why I feel so passionate about this. This past summer I endured the incredible frustration of losing a fabulous job because of a visa hangup. Personally, as a Canadian citizen, I don't understand why I need a visa to work in the United Kingdom. Here's the thing, Canada is still part of the Commonwealth. The Queen is still our sovereign, still on our stamps, our money, has hotels and hospitals named after her, she and her family visit Canada, fuck, she even has representatives in every province and territory in Canada as well as the Governor General of Canada which is her direct rep. I'm getting worked up just thinking about this. When I originally tried to move overseas a couple of years ago, I thought maybe I could get some kind of EU passport based on my lineage. My Mom's family is Dutch and Irish. So the Dutch came to the US back during the revolution and the Irish moved to Canada several generations back. Shit. As for my Dad's family, the Frenchies have been in Canada since they were fur trappers and as for the English side, well, I'm not sure when the arrived, but this was my one ray of hope. My Nana was born in Newfoundland when it was still part of the United Kingdom. It didn't become part of Canada until 1949. I searched online to find out if I qualified for a passport. My Nana does, my Dad could potentially, but I'm too far removed. Dude. This is beyond frustrating. If the Queen can't do anything for us good Canadian citizens, they why the hell is she still such a big part of our country? What the hell good are ya and what have ya done for me lately? I understand people being denied visas for criminal pasts or terror threats, but I'm just a middle class girl from the East coast of Canada. I'm harmless! I had a couple of temp jobs while I was living in Dublin and the topic of my soon to expire working holiday visa was a constant among co-workers. Most people agreed that since Canada (and many other countries) took many, many Irish immigrants years ago, then Ireland should take the same amount back from said country. Plus, I think if someone from your family immigrated from Ireland, then they shouldn't hesitate to take you. Maybe when I own my own country this will happen. Until then...
