There was the Darlington nuclear plant upgrades recently, which were completed ahead of schedule. Borealis was announced last year indicating new military research development. France had a nuclear sub in one of our ports, they already have nukes. I'm pretty sure they are going for them in secret and may already have one.

How would any number of nukes protect Canada from a country with over 5,000 of them.

Just the threat of a few nukes taking out DC or some other major city is usually enough of a deterrent to not start shit. Yeah, they could litter Canada with ground zero zones, but that's not the point.

Trump is a different animal though. Most humans care about other people so the threat of a country nuking New York or DC is a pretty good reason to make political arrangements this doesn't happen. Trump hates humanity and only cares about himself. I honestly think he would be in heaven if a nuke took out LA or Portland.
