After some quick interneting, apparently we have the technical and industrial capacity to do so, but lack intention, having committed to peaceful, civilian use of the technology through non-proliferation treaties, etc.
I mean, in an ideal world, that’s how it should be.
Sorry I didn’t mean we can’t of course we can given the people we have. I meant that I think we don’t have the benefit of our reactors producing fissile material suitable for weapons. Could be wrong.
We can’t build one now. But we have the capability of doing it very quickly if we needed to.
The issue though, is doing it in secret. If the Yanks WERE to find out that we’re doing it, that would give them enough reason to start military force. I mean, Russia invaded Ukraine for less reason.
What Canada needs is to join the EU. Or at least, form a protective agreement with the EU which ensures military protection.
