Anand welcomes Turkish counterpart as two countries explore nuclear deal
For the record – back in the 60s or so, Canada did the same with a little place called India. And India promptly used the first reactor we built for them to develop their own nuclear weapons program. They have since iterated out their own version of the CANDU since we decided them building nukes with our tech wasn’t nice and sanctioned them for years. They said, “Thanks for the tech, and we’re going to keep building nukes, thank you very much.”
And since India built a nuclear weapon, Pakistan decided it needed its own. And they did. Then in 1998, both nations set off test bombs, after the first set in the 60s or 70s or so.
So your mileage may vary.

Nice?
I have often wondered if twasn’t a matter of sharing a long long border with a Nuclear Armed Communist China?
Seems even then the Canadian government was siding with CChina.
Nuclear proliferation? Pull the other one.
Building highways in the north. Because Red China needs better access to the resources.
Nailed it!
Elbows OUT to Trump’s USA … palms up, kneeling before Xi’s Communist China.
Transport Minister (and moron) Steven MacKinnon:
… “We all know that the North is central to Canada’s economic future.”
Nothing they say is real, let alone true.
Much like all men hired for any ads sitcoms movies
really are that stupid because of the pool they’re selected from;
marxists can only work with the simple minded.
And thanks for that little nuclear history lesson on the Liberal Party of Canada’s 60 year old DEI policy of
Fair Armaments for the Globe (FAG). Their suicidal anti-Americanism certainly goes back a long ways.
I’d bet a million USD Liberals knew full well what the Indians were going to do with the nuke tech.
As for the nuclear repository, they’ve been storing waste since the ’40’s.
I didn’t know that Canada gave India the means to produce nuclear weapons. Thanks for the info, Brian.
Looking into it now, it seems that the CANDU is no longer the darling of the nuclear power community. Enrichment is now much cheaper and easier to achieve, and the CANDU design is overly complex (and expensive) compared to LWRs.
Yeah, for most of the history of nuclear weapons, the flashpoint of a likely nuclear exchange was India/Pakistan. And India absolutely got the material because we provided them with the CANDU which actually works out pretty well for making the stuff to make weapons cores. It’s a thing most people don’t talk about. So now Turkey will have its turn. Brilliant.
Kan the Paki father of their nuclear bomba learned his trade in the EU, netherlands specifically.The ‘west’ leaks info like a siev

The best part: Indira Gandhi was prime minister. The Op was called “smiling Buddha”. This can go in the “if women ran the world” category.
Vancouver condo developer banks bailout.
Nuclear proliferation with Islamist nation.
Both popularly unacceptable imho.
Anything else?
The summer hideout list is off to a rousing start.
Erdogan is an Islamist.
He hates Christians, he reviles Jews – but he’s scared shitless of Israel.
And he doesn’t like that Israel is the only country in the area with nukes.
He wants his own – that’s quite obvious.
From what I’ve quickly read, the Israelis are obviously not impressed.
But I doubt they’re surprised considering the anti-Israel sentiment in Ottawa.
The Liberals make waving the flag more like heaving an anchor weighted by 2 tons of despair and 3 of embarrassment.
