What a waste of money that would be. Why spend on something we're never going to use?

And it won't necessarily get us a UN veto seat either (see India and Pakistan).

Think of it as a status symbol Tracy, much like having a Gucci bag instead of a Walmart purse. It's all about R.E.S.P.E.C.T these days, and I've heard conservatives on more than one occaision complain that Canada doesn't have any respect internationally, anymore. In the long run, it's cheaper than starting a war with someone.

Over time this may change as Canada becomes more Islamic and the USA Hispanic.

do you think then that an hispanic US would be hostile to an islamic canada...
 

I think not

We could keep the cost of the Canadian nukes down by buying previously owned Russian weapons, I'll make some calls.

Maintenance is higher than production, but anyway, make sure you buy the ones that were targeting Canada during the cold war, the warheads might feel more at home.

We dont have the respect a G8 nation ought to have internationally, but its not because we don't have nukes. Its because of our foreign policy which is to mindlessly parade the UN and promote good values....many decision made in the past were attempts to spite the USA as to look as if we are independent internationally (small man syndrome) and make a name for ourselves.

Our foreign policy should be to protect Canadian interests abroad.....that would entail we learn what our interests are. Although I have to say I have much more hope foreign policy will change for the better under the Conservatives...it already has!

Yes, but you can be a rogue criminal state like Pakistan yet get your assed kissed on the international stage.

No. Vice versa.

but islamics arent instrinsically anti--hispanic
at least thats not my impression
but if the US became more-- lets say latinized-- assholes like gonzales aside---
could it be that the US might mellow out a little-----
sit back and sip on some coronas
play a littel guitar nusic
go out dancing more
read pablo neruda and marquez
make do with less
maybe-- be less militaristiic

the chances that the states would become more-- latin --is real
but i dont think canada will ever become significantly more islamic-- at least not to the degree that it changes the central cultural structure of the country
