Jazz, while Canada is nuclear power producing nation, we are nuke weapon free. While I suppose Canada could build the weapons if we wanted, it would not escape the notice of our neighbours to the south (or the rest of the world).
Host: just for clarity... there is an aspect of Canada's wealth that you have lef t out. Indeed we are getting wealthier off of our oil and gas exports, and to a lesser extent our raw materials. Two things spring to mind: one, the oil and gas can't last forever and two, we ship raw materials out and pay more to bring them back as finsihed goods. Our manufacturing sector is in the shits. If we could process our own resources and sell them finished, at higher prices... that would be golden.
Otherwise I don't disagree with your assesment of the econmomic situation (just the need to bomb the world's other nuclear powers).
