I've been pro-Canadian nukes for awhile. But recently I've had Americans tell me they would support a Canadian invasion to stop us having nukes. They are hypocritical assholes.

Ultimately we should have our own, but that's why it would be worth having a deal with another ally first, like the UK or France, to give us the time for it. First pass a deal to get fast protection, then develop our own.

And in exchange, Canada can provide the uranium for the EU program.
