"Where is Canada going to get a nuke?"

Presumably "we" refers to the West collectively as in 'we intend to eradicate the Taliban in Afghanistan'.

Plainly, only the U.S. and likely the UK possess the technology to remove the threat of Iranian Islamofascism once and for all.

You can put Canada in the"abandoned" column. In the 1950s we had American-produced nukes on the Bomarc surface-to-air missiles but they were returned to the USA. We do have the capability to produce a nuke in fairly short order but all of our technology is currently used for civilian production of electricity and medical radioisotopes (that's the official story, anyway).

Topic drift- IIRC Canada is the world's no. 1 producer of radioisotopes.
