No country - NATO or otherwise would ever risk the repercussions of selling nuclear weapons to us - and it requires levels of knowledge/training even to store/maintain/secure a nuclear weapon - all things that no Canadian has. Despite our close military ties to The US etc., we have never had access

It's exceedingly unlikely that "no Canadian" knows how to do those things.

Sorry - to clarify - no Canadian military personnel, commanders or political leaders have any training, practical experience or even most likely university level education - degrees in nuclear science, engineering that would make them competent in nuclear weapons handling.

...look Tovarich if you're gonna make stuff up about Canadians, you have to do better than "they don't have degrees in nuclear science and engineering".

JFC dude I ain't reading the rest of your dumb thread after that

If you can direct me to the Can. military units, commands or personnel fine, the only group I'm aware of with any relevant area of expertise is the Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit (CJIRU,) which is associated with after effects response, not command, control and security of nuclear weapons.

Possessing, controlling, storing, safe guarding, testing, training with nuclear weapons require huge infrastructure and resources the likes of which Canada has shown no interest in even seriously thinking about. About the only large infrastructure Canada has built in decades are Hydro dams...

Which are levels of magnitude simpler than Nuclear command and control. We can't even get a high speed rail line built and it takes nearly 20 years to build a few miles of Subway in Toronto.

to those things. Nuclear power is not at all the same has nuclear weapons.

And remember - only one country has ever shown a willingness to use a nuke - do we really think possessing one will make us safer from that country?

Whoever the new PM is will need to figure out how Canada doesn't become the next Ukraine.
The US media is already laying the groundwork.
There isn't actually time to develop a nuclear program. And I wouldn't rely on treaties.
But "do nothing" isn't going to work.
