It depends on what you become reincarnated as and where. One could be reinarnated as a dog in N. Korea.

   

Canada had a chance and has a chance to build nukes, practicly everybody just hands over the materials for safe keeping like they know we aren't going to use them for anything sinister. It's only the countries who feel threatened or are in war torn areas that feel the need to develop nukes. There is no way Iran is going to pass up the chance to develop nuclear weapons.

   

Why do I keep thinking he's telling the truth, they are not building nukes they all ready have em and just are being very very quiet about it.

   

Just think people that believe in re-incarnation dont need RIP on their headstones they just put BRB.

   

Why should anybody be concerned if Canada wanted to build nukes? Canada is a a modern progressive nation and if she were to bulid nuke would simly store then unless threated by the outside.

Ont all nations are this responsible, I would put N Korea and and Iran in that group. Those nations do not have the same level of responsibility that the western nations and a few others posess.

   

Here's a sane view on the subject:

The real question is, why would Canada want nukes? We don't need them at all.

The Yanks have them because they invented them and used them first. Plus it makes them feel really powerful.

The Russians have them to piss off the Yanks.

China, see above.

The Brits have them because they were once a super power and they don't trust the Yanks enough not to keep them. The French have them because the Brits do, so there!

India has them because it makes them feel like a super power. Pakistan has them because they hate India and having them really pisses India off.

Israel has them as a final option should the Islamic hordes ever organise an army that can actually fight and attack them instead of oppressing their own people.

North Korea has them because China gave them to the N Koreans to piss off the Yanks.

Iran has them to prove they can actually do something beside measure beard lengths and to piss of the Yanks and the Israelis.

There you have the real reasons that we have nukes on planet Earth.

   

When Canada takes it's turn in charge of NATO or NORAD it is, by proxy, a nuclear power.

What I mean is that if the President of the United States authorizes the deployment of nuclear weapons in those circumstances it will be a Canadian who will have the final word on that. Kinda cool, eh?

Canada also turned over it's nukes to the US back in the 1970's (as I recall on the date) with the tacit agreement that if Canada wanted to own nukes again all you folks have to do is ask.

   

Canada may with to do so when the Russians attempt to "Adjust" it claims over Canadian mineral sites". This is one of the few things the Russians understand
-> Brute force.

   

I suppose you can never say never but I can't envisage a situation when Canada would actually want to own nukes.

   

Canada by far is the best country I would trust with nukes, I don't say that simple because I am a Canadian but because the people who would give the orders to launch them are not considered warmongers and IMO are a bunch of pussies (just my opinion). Refering to the Canadian Government. However despite this, I still would not trust Canada with nukes or think Canada should ever develop them. Nuclear warfare is by far the most moronic idea anybody has ever created.

Regular warfare is harsh enough, I mean just look at the damage it can do. Nukes cause way too much damage to be allowed to be used as a weapon. Infact if anything was to end all species on earth, it would have be some nutjob who launched some in retaliation of something or some religious terrorist group got there hands on some and launched them. Al Quada went on record stating if they ever got there hands on any, they would not hesitate to use them. Which is a huge reason why I do not trust nukes in the hands of any middle eastern country, expecially Iran. Iran is known to be a religious extremist government as well as extremly corrupt. Bad combination when you have a seriously messed up terrorist organization clammering to get there hands on a nuke and are nutty enough to use them and probally have more than enough money to bribe the right people in Iran to get them or if any of those middle eastern countries with nukes fall and disorganize which they have a tendency to do. Perfect chance for them to get in there and take them.

If I was in charge of the United Nations, I would send tons of investigators to search every possible location in Iran where they could be building nukes and would keep a very close watch them and send lots of spy satalites to keep track of all the material and make sure they aren't doing anything suspicous with them. If Iran refused, I'd rather take the chance of giving the green light to bombing some factory in Iran than let another country, expcially a country like Iran get there hands on nukes. This world is going to be seriously fucked unless all these superpowers get some balls and take control of all the material used to create nukes, make sure nobody developes them and make sure EVERY single country disbands there current ones. Right now they are only used as show and tell but there was already a incident in history between the US and Russia where they were VERY close to letting lose some on each other. Luckily both leaders came to there sense and were scared of the outcome and just backed off and talked it out. Most likely there will be a simular situation in the future and hopefully both leaders are as rational.

   

Albert Einstein made the comment that WW IV will be fought with sticks and stone if nuclear war ever broke out.

   

I can.

As I've often stated, Canada is always just one US election away from needing a serious military.

That's for one of two reasons:

1. An Administration and Congress comes into power that pursues military action against Canada for whatever reasons. (BS reasons, most likely)

2. An Administration and Congress comes into power that is not willing to hold up the US end of US-Canada defense agreements.

And, I hate to tell you, I think you have #2 right now.

   

I hate to say it but I think you are right. The one nation, our best friend, we should always defend may be wanting.

   

I think you have a point. Canada has got away with having a minimal military for a long time.
