Given how these are all from the 1980s, I don't see how they could be PD.

If LAC is illegally asserting copyright over PD images, then I agree that we
should ignore them. However, there are clearly uploaders out there who are
under the impression that LAC has grant copyrighted free use, when it has
not.

There definitely are many images from LAC on Wikimedia which are not PD - I&#39;m sure many of them also aren&#39;t tagged with {{LAC}}, or aren&#39;t on Commons, but Canadian history articles are full of LAC images which are too new. <br>
