The Bully south of the Border and the Republican Party. We look/are weak without them. Why doesn't Canada have Nukes?

Project strength. Less likely to get bullied. Trudeau can tell Trumpty Dumpty to go fuck himself that will carry more weight.

Nukes = strength?
News to me.
If you're worried about Trump, don't be. No way he would ever nuke Canada. And Russia would probably have a big problem being polar neighbours with the good ol' US of A. Orrrr... it might make the piss orgies a little more convenient. Could go either way I suppose.

Canada is the second largest miner of uranium in the world, only Kazakhstan has a greater volume. America is the 12th largest miner and Russia is 6th.

I would say: Get a few nukes as insurance.

Make peace with Denmark over Hans Island and start a Joint Venture with Denmark (Niels Bohr Institute) to develop a dozen small nukes. Enough to take out New York and Washington.

Despite it's name, you DO realize that island is ours, right?
You can visit it all you want though!

I am with you on that, maybe enough nukes to take out a Southern State as well for good measure -lol

Enough to get some respect. Se how Trump talks about Canada compared to North Korea.

It might require some research but the Government's reasoning at the time is available. The U.S. would certainly have helped Canada even as it did the U.K.

Do you really think Canada will accept anything less than complete victory in something called the Beer War?

I think we should take out the moon first to show the world that we are nuts.

Dolgert: Here's why Canada should get nuclear weapons​


Please consider inaugurating a nuclear armament program. Please begin this process now.

I never imagined writing something like this. American by birth, but now also a Canadian citizen, I’ve always regarded the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a stain on my birth nation’s honour. But the time has come to face reality, and the foreign minister’s June speech reasserting Canadian sovereignty is only the beginning of the reckoning.

We are in many ways living through a replay of the 1930s: a world struggling in the wake of economic cataclysm, fascists rising across Europe and an authoritarian in power (this time in the United States) cultivates support from the radical right.

Tyranny is on the march, and there is no clear end-point in sight. We can no longer assume that our country’s safety is assured, and even proposals for anti-missile defence don’t go far enough because they assume a democratic U.S. – the very thing that is now in question.


Alarmist? Maybe. But the consequences of a misstep now — the 21st-century equivalent of 1933, the year of Hitler’s ascendance — are dire, and we can’t regain later the time that we lose now. Nuclear programs take time to initiate, and in order to be prepared for our version of 1939 (the start of the Second World War), we cannot allow these to be “the locust years,” as Winston Churchill described the time wasted between 1933 and 1939.

So this is 1933. Start the countdown.

America is on a quest to demonize Muslims, round up Mexican immigrants, restrict trade, break up NATO and help Vladimir Putin divvy up the world. If you want to understand Donald Trump’s foreign policy, think “Mafia Protection Racket.” Just change the little shop-owners, forced to pay up, into little nations across the globe.


Canada is a small shopkeeper not so well-positioned to resist this new racket.

To understand what it’s like being beside a bully in today’s world, look at Ukraine. Perhaps the greatest mistake that country made after the breakup of the USSR was to get rid of its nuclear weapons. The consequences? Russia seizes Crimea and effectively invades eastern Ukraine by arming Russian secessionists there. This could also happen to Latvia and the Baltic states.


Could it happen here? For more than a century, Canadian policy could assume that, while the U.S. might be an 800-lbs gorilla on our doorstep, at least the gorilla played by the rules. But Trump has said the old rules won’t apply, and his selection of white nationalists and conspiracy theorists to powerful roles in his administration indicates he is not kidding.

I think you’re being facetious as it serves no purpose given our strategic and historic alliance with the US, particularly in NORAD. Just as the US nuking Toronto because they think our softwood lumber is too cheap would be idiotic, so would us nuking any major US city except maybe Miami because their cheese is too cheap. Fallout would unquestionably harm us, just as fallout would harm them.

You used the term bully. Let’s take the analogy to a school yard. Kid 1 gets bullied by Kid 2. It would seem like your suggestion to Kid 1 is to strap on enough C4 to kill the two of you and then some. A finger on the bomb trigger might stop the bullying, or might inspire Kid 2 to take actions that will ensure Kid 1 never gets a chance to pull that trigger.

How do you think the US will respond to the act of its closest neighbour acquiring nuclear weapons for the purpose of “not looking weak” to our American allies? I’m not sure how dotard or whoever is President next could see that as anything but a threat to national security. Do you recall the Cuban Missile Crisis? How are/were US relations with countries opposed to US policies or enemies of our allies while they developed their nuclear weapons programs? Particularly the Soviet Union, Iran, and North Korea? Pakistan has nukes, it never stopped the US from operating drones on kill missions within their borders.

Plus, nukes aren’t cheap. To create a program to build them, it would take decades and 10’s if not 100’s of billions. All for what? We’d be decimated by abject poverty when we lose all of our trade partners to international sanctions before any program approached completion of a device, and then what? The old “my button is bigger than your button” conversation probably shouldn’t be an end-goal. Then we’ll look weak every time we ‘don’t’ use our weapons.

Anyways, I’ve wasted too many keystrokes.

Your thinking on this is asinine.

We need to get Nukes ASAP. I wish we had politicians with Balls.

I don't know if you are Canadian, but I don't like being bullied around. We don't have politicians with balls to get it done covertly.

Really, Canada with nukes is a really bad idea. It doesn't take balls to get them, it takes a complete lack of brains. When I first saw this thread I thought you may have been joking. Unfortunately, you seem to be serious.
