i am trying to figure out how canada can increase the power of our passport. Perhaps we can make them out of solar panels.

Canada should have two classes of Passports, one for those born as Canadians and another for those who immigrated to Canada to take advantage of the hard work of those born here.
I don't agree with you often, but I actually could see a benefit to a two-passport system.
One weakness of a national passport is that it really doesn't reveal much more than in what country you popped out of your mother's belly or naturalized. A language passport would be more valuable since you would actually have to pass a language test to acquire it. For example, I could imagine Canada allowing a citizen to choose between a Canadian passport, an English-language passport, or a French-language passport. Canadian citizenship alone would suffice to acquire the Canadian passport, but one would need to pass a high-level language test to acquire the language passport. We could even add practical cultural knowledge to the test too. That way, any border agent in any country that sees a language passport would know that its owner actually knows the language of the passport along with other practical knowledge.
Sorry Durry, I guess the test would shut the door on your chance to acquire a language passport. But no worries, you could still acquire a Canadian passport. After all, you popped out of your mother's womb in Canada, right.
Toughening our laws on narcotics, etc. could help too as a way to gain trust in the Canadian passport. If the world thinks we're potheads, it'll be a little more difficult for it to respect our passport.
