I was picturing some burly Aussie-Canadian lumberjack called Bruce Power doing all this without breaking a sweat.
"G'day, I'm Bruce Power, eh?"
I totally thought the same thing.
This guy would immediately drink all of our beer
His accent alone would destroy whole planets
He didn't even ask permission. He just started cutting the roof and nobody had the courage to ask him what he was doing.
Hard hat and a white truck, you can do anything you ever wanted.
What the fuck is a US ton...
It's what we call the things Yanks and North Koreans use to measure weight since 'ton' is assumed to be a metric ton for the rest of the world.
(Yes, I've seen the Canadian weights and measures flowchart but this is still a funny jab)
I dunno, like two American football fields?
Ah, so ~0.909091 furlongs if we only count the play area. 1.090909 furlongs if we count the 10 yard infields.
2000 lb
Or 907 kg. So almost a metric ton, which is 1,000 kg (or 1.000 kg for some).
This shit isn't at all confusing /s
2000 lbs
That was more surprising to me than the actual article.
He’s related to Max Power.
Over-hype much? "an operating nuclear station" followed by "then it brought the reactor back online"...
The Ford government loves the idea that we are fast tracking nuclear reactor upgrades "ahead of schedule".
Plot Twist: Bruce Power is the son of Rowsdower and The Kid.
