Michael Byers makes a good case that Canada's military procurement is like a Monty Python movie, akin to "a knight riding a make-believe horse while knocking two coconuts together."
Also rather like the dead parrot sketch but he missed the most obvious Python Holy Grail allusion of all - that DND is building
CSEC a massive new $1B home they've nicknamed Camelot.
The Camelot sketch from Holy Grail is one of my all time faves so here it is with updated Camelot Security Establishment lyrics below. Sing 'em loud!
Knights, I bid you welcome to your new home - let us ride to
Camelot.
We're Knights of the CSEC Table
We hack whene'er we're
able
We snoop emails and "Search" details
On fibre optic cable.
We dine well here in Camelot
Coz a billion bucks buys quite a lot.
We're Knights of the CSEC
Table
Our building's formidable,
Catching Pierre Poutine is not our scene
That case is unbreakable.
Brazil is mad at Camelot
Coz we sing to NSA a lot.
As spooks we're tough and able
Quite
indefatigable.
But Greenwald's leaks on our techniques
Have made things
quite unstable.
It's a busy life in Camelot
Appeasing Uncle Sam a lot
.
