Top and Bottom Picture: Nukes! Glorious delicious Nuklear power!

Middle Pic; My Dad, Me, my canadian aunt/whoever, Mother, and behind us, Dusty.



Top Pic; clearly this mistake needs to be rectified as soon as possible. LIBERATE CANADA!

Bottom Pic; If this is the present state of the Canadian military, we shall
crush them!

Ah yes, good ol' Darlington NGS. I remember I once spent two days in the operations building waiting for a union technician to come and replace a serial board even though I had a screwdriver and could have done it myself in 5 minutes. Union rules, you know.

Is it just me or do those pictures look like they're from the late 80's?

You're not crazy. They're from the late 80s early 90s.

That last picture:

"One, two, three, four. Up, down, three, four."

"Raise your right huck, aerate."

"Raise you left huck, aerate.

"I want to see more Teddy Roosevelts and less Franklin Roosevelts!"

Ah yes, that's the pre-production batch of our Mk1 robot supersoldiers.
As you can clearly see, they're doing the robot dance.
They also fill in and perform historical re-enactments at variously tourist locations.

Ahh unions. I hope you were on the clock the whole time, union style


And it looks like the Canadian military would be a good match for the Fort Ticonderoga reinactment squad here in upstate New York.

No no, I've got it:



They are reenacting one of those kick-ass Maori Rugby Team war chants!

Out of curiosity, what would have happened if you would have simply fixed the thing yourself as soon as you spotted the problem? What if you had fixed it for the sake of expediency and denied that there was a problem to begin with?

I would have been disciplined for insubordination. I could hardly have covered it up, since the replacement part was supplied by the IT department with full paperwork, and the work order was already put in.

My brother-in-law has experienced something similar while his company was partnered with Boeing on the airborne laser project. Apparently Boeing is heavilly unionized and must have people who's sole job is to go around and screw and unscrew things. I think in my brother-in-law's case he finally just did it himself but he didn't work for Boeing so it didn't sound like he got in trouble for it.

I assume this is also one of those companies that also has an electrician who runs around and plugs/unplugs things for people? Because that's his job, and no one else is aloud to do that, under penalties of insubordination and stuff?

I've always wondered how Ontario Hydro managed to run up over $30 billion in debts....
