Nuclear Moratorium On India Lifted

Posted on Wednesday, September 28 at 09:42 by 4Canada
Mr. Pettigrew also said Canada is exploring the possibility of nuclear power reactor sales to India. The announcement was made at a joint news conference with Indian Foreign Minister K. Natwar Singh, and follows by two months a similar move by the United States. Canada had imposed the moratorium on nuclear co-operation in 1998 when India tested nuclear warheads. Mr. Axworthy said yesterday that Ottawa's decision is a "sad mistake" that undermines international efforts to halt the spread of nuclear weapons. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20050927/NUKES27/TPNational/TopStories [Proofreader's note: this article was edited for spelling and typos on September 29, 2005]

    Canadian political scientist Walter Stewart and Trudeau critic exposed how in 1974, Canada gave India nuclear technology that they promptly used to explode their first nuclear bomb.<br />
    <br />
    Canada is in 2005 on record as having supported nuclear co-operation with Communist China and barely democratic and barely democratic India--two countries with over 1 billion people who have every intention of at least trying to expand, become more powerful, and colonize parts of the world. They simply have too many people not to at least think about trying it.<br />
    <br />
    As Canada continues to accept most of its immigrants these days from China and India and like nations we are not only sending our world-leading nuclear tech to them (which China has alreay stolen--make no mistake about it) but we are about to let even more than the already 300,000 mostly Asians we already let into Canada today.<br />

    Paul Martin has put economic expediency for his coterie of rich friends and masters above our very survival and safety and he should be very harshly criticized for this.<br />
    <br />
    After turning India into a nuclear power, Paul Martin has the nerve to suggest that Canada "dare not" possess nuclear weapons for fear of "proliferation". Apparently only communist, totalitarian countries with ambitions of global domination deserve our sympathy.<br />

    CSIS in their 1997 "Sidewinder report" claimed China was trying to take over the world and Chretien shredded the report. Talk about treaon:<br />

    India is very much a democracy. It is amazing that once India sided with the US and those countries wanting to report Iran, then suddenly they become a guest of honor. Canada has it's own facility In Ontario that has just restarted after (I believe)the same seven years. Canada was at one point to be nuke free and that included reactors. I assume in those seven years, mankind has discovered a way to eliminate the waste product of those facilities.

    India's Italian PM resigned under massive death threats--it is not the same kind of society. It would be like if we threatened to kill Ujal Dosanjh while he was the NDP premier of BC for simply being a minority.

    I can't believe this story has not been on main stream news at all! I heard nothing, if it wasn't for vive, I wouldn't even know this had happened. Questions are many, but the main issue is how can the PM do this without parliamentary debate, discussion, pros and cons being evalutated? We really need a government that isn't afraid to govern! We need it yesterday...but the next election would really be the next best opportunity!
