At the CSA, the ‘c’ stands for “Club”;
The CSA tends to locate their offices beside golf courses. In Tennessee, they’re located beside the Bluegrass Yacht and Country Club. RestoreCSA isn’t familiar with yacht clubs either, but it seems that CSA picked a nice one. The Bluegrass Yacht club has “one of the most prestigious marinas” and “the best in fine dining” for an “exemplary experience in an elegant setting.” The place is “a cherished Member haven.” […]
[In Chicago] the CSA office is 3 minutes from the Hinsdale Golf Club. What is Hinsdale?
Well, Hinsdale is a very prestigious, and very old, private golf and country club. Its nice, its rated 4 stars by Golf Digest. “Founded in 1898, the Club’s amenities include a traditional 18-hole golf course, a swimming pool, clay tennis courts, a new paddle tennis facility, skeet shooting in the winter and a stately Tudor-style clubhouse.”
Obviously, “the standardization of engineering materials” can only really happen in a “Tudor-style clubhouse.”

The CSA claims that their offices are required for ‘certifying foreign manufacturing processes,’ yet their offices are rarely located near manufacturing.
Rather, they are located near recreation centers;

Canadian Standards Association – I’ve written Gordon, he’ll be updating to clarify. Thanks!
Just follow the links. Read all about it.
It would be even more delicious if the CE, UL etc offices were nowhere near the CSA offices. If they are nearby, it just means the foreigners are scammers too.
Apparently they feel entiltled to their entitlements…what a bunch of incredibly deaf and stupid bureaucratic a–holes…all to make Canada a safer place. (sarc)
Yepper! Cheers;
The first step to changing the system is to expose these overpaid bureaucrats as the self serving career leaches they are and this
article is an excellent start. Time for the Canadian public to
understand how corrupt big bureaucracies can be.
Not unheard of.
