How many nukes does the Canada have?

Answer 1

Although Canada is not known to have any nukes at the moment, it is widely recognized as having the ability to make them. Canada could be a nuclear power within 120 days of deciding to become one, or perhaps in as little as 90 days.

Despite the fact that Canada has greater potential for hydro-electric power than any other nation, it chose to develop its nuclear power potential, by means of a program it started at Chalk River during WW2. Canada's Candu reactor, unlike other reactors, uses unenriched uranium. It does a good job making electricity, but it is also an excellent plutonium factory.


The reason Canada vigorously pursued this technology is due America's territorial designs on Canada. War Plan Red was America's invasion plan, which was not executed due to the start of the second world war. Once the U.S. learned of Canada's acquisition of nuclear technology, War Plan Red was scrapped. The U.S. has not floated the idea of invading Canada since 1946, because it fears nuclear retaliation.
