If we're going to build infrastructure that requires it then we need to enrich it ourselves.

Same with refining oil.

Damn right. It's the closest thing other than solar to clean energy and we're a huge supplier of uranium. It makes sense to build refining capability here, and build breeder reactors to support that and our energy needs.

If Carney wants to make Canada an "energy superpower", I would much rather he do it with nuclear than more fossil fuels, and I hope he doesn't face opposition from environmentalists who have been irrationally scared about nuclear energy.

Canada can build a nuke now without being sanctioned. This might not hold true in the future.

I say do it on secret. Only thing better then a public nuke is a secret nuke.

The real strategy is just say you have one even if you do not. Then you can invest your money on drones as that is the most effective defence.
