The Homa Files

I never have trusted the Canadians … I figure that if you’re willing to toss off your hockey gloves and wail on an opponent at mid-rink, then you’re probaably willing to lob nukes at a neighboring country.

So, I was pleased to hear of Obama’s nuclear coup — getting Canada to scale back its nuclear ambitions.

According to USA Today, in the marquee deal of  Obama’s Nuclear Security Summit,  Canada agreed to a plan to send spent nuclear fuel back to the U.S.

Let me make sure I understand, we still don’t have agreement in the US where to stash our nuclear waste (not in my backyard, please), but now we’re going to take Canada’s radioactive garbage … and that’s a good deal that will make us safer ?

BTW: Canada doesn’t do nuke weapons.  According to Wikipedia — the Homa Files ultimate reference source — Canada is listed as a nation with the capability (infrastructure, material and experts) to quickly make nuclear weapons … but hasn’t and has never intended to do so.

Is it just me, or does the Nuclear Summit seem like US gun control on steroids?  The good guys agree to restraints … so that the only deadly strike capability rests in the hands of rogue states and terrorists.  I must be missing something …
