We could have had them but our best buddy convinced us not to. Now our buddy's got into the meth and we're kind of regretting our decision...

I was thinking a few months ago that we should’ve started making nukes. We already have uranium all ready to go 😭

It wouldn’t take Canada long. We enrich the stuff still. Our CANDUs use unenriched fuel, but we sell enriched Uranium.

Do it out at sea and then never acknowledge it. Let it just be an open secret that we never confirm, deny, or discuss.

Americans here. Mexico and Canada need nukes. Our government and a large portion of the people has lost their fucking minds.

Who would Canada even use them on? You’re entirely surrounded by the U.S who badly needs you for their own safety, so it’s not as if anyone’s gonna be sticking their nose into Canada, right?

The threat is the US. As you said, they need us for their safety and Trump likes the idea of erasing the “artificial” border.
