During the second world war there were only two places known to have Uranium: The Belgian Congo and Northern Saskatchewan.

Germany took over Belgiam and got control of the Congo.

In the mean time, England had started the Manhattan project, but asked the USA to move it there to get it away from bombing.

The then President of the USA got clever, and said he'd pay for it.

The US went to Canada and asked for uranium, whereupon the semi-psycho PM King asked guys at UofT why it was being asked for, and they told him.

King made it a deal that Canada would deliver the uranium at the border in exchange for being in on the secret.

The result was that at the end of WW-II there were three countries with the nuclear secret. England for starting it, the US for paying for it, and Canada for supplying the uranium.

Canada stayed out of it, building the best peaceful applications, but sure enough just like always the MBAs came in to screw everything up on the side of Lucifer.

The "best peaceful applications" of the Atomic Bomb?!

And England didn't start the "Manhatten Project", they had their own program.

Of course they did as well as the French. Why do think the original development in Canada was at the Montreal Labratory & McGill staring around and about 1942.

I think all the projects were started before 1942.

Edit... as far as research. But as Petros said... the idea had been around for some time.

You gotta love a thread titled "You guys don't know about Canada's nuclear history." where the author gets schooled on his lack of knowledge on Canada's nuclear history...

Too funny.

How was Harper involved in all that?

You wouldn't have found too many Germans in the Congo. During WW2, Britain and Belgium controlled the Congo, there were no erman forces anywhere near the Congo basin.

Looks like another one just told Omi a little about Canada's nuclear history that he did not know.

Enrico Fermi - "Upon the discovery of fission, by Hahn and Strassmann early in 1939, he immediately saw the possibility of emission of secondary neutrons and of a chain reaction. He proceeded to work with tremendous enthusiasm, and directed a classical series of experiments which ultimately led to the atomic pile and the first controlled nuclear chain reaction. This took place in Chicago on December 2, 1942 - on a squash court situated beneath Chicago's stadium. He subsequently played an important part in solving the problems connected with the development of the first atomic bomb (He was one of the leaders of the team of physicists on the Manhattan Project for the development of nuclear energy and the atomic bomb.)"
