Very interesting stuff! I guess it was well for the Americans that the bomb was made in Canada because if things went wrong, then it would be the Canadians who would have suffered, not the Americans! What a favour Canada did to the U.S!!! I was told that in WWI & WWII, Canadians were the first to be sent to the frontlines. Any truth to this? I also heard that as the Canadian soldiers' training were considered below par and the soldiers lacked fighting experience, they were the first troops used/sacrificed. It seemed that this was in accord with the order of military operations: use reserves first, then the elite or crack troops. Right? Seems to me the same order was adopted in the Gulf War: reserve troops first, then the regulars. Right? And the so called "nuclear umbrella" in N. America (in the days of the Cold War) had Canada as the buffer state! where the first to be "f----d" or evaporated into thin air would have been Canadians had the Soviet missiles gone astray. A protective "umbrella" indeed! But for whom?
