A reason could be because Canada is a NATO member and right now, we must watch closely NATO, things are really brewing in the background actually between Russia and NATO.
About Canada having nukes, oficially? No, we are not supposed to have any nukes, correct me if I am wrong. But... who now beleive the official version lol.

First of all, if Russia had so much antural resources it wouldn't be declaring to the rest of the world that it was taking most of the North Pole for itself, which many other countires also have claim to, yet Russia doesn't want to acknowledge.
Second of all Russia doesn't want the missile shield which several former colonies of Russia have asked for to defend themselves mostly against Russia, and of course Russia doesn't like NATO being in Europe, so there is plenty of reasons for them wanting to go to war.

I bet you have a pick up truck and brass balls on the back of it! Too much testasterone there friend take it easy. I think the only country starting wars in the past 20, 30 years are usa.
Now, sorry to say that is not true.
We have had Russia invading Afghanistan in the 80s, Kosovo in the 90s, and then Georgia in the 2000s. We have had China invading Tibet, and Chinese troops shooting at Tibetans trying to escape from the country, not to mention the fact that China has stated they will go to war, and nuke the western U.S. if Taiwan declares Independence and writes a Constitution, and if the United States decides to acknowledge Taiwan's independence.
We have had since the 1980s, until the late 2000s Sudan's government using Arab militias, and their own troops to murder over 2.5 million people. Almost 2 million for being Christians, and over 500,000 for being Black non-muslims.
We have had more conflicts that can be counted, and despite the claims of the left the Communists were as involved as the Westerner powers, but of course the left always dismisses this fact.
In general, your statement is wrong.

I would also like to add, "WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?"
Because people are people, with different ideals, different morals, and different goals in life.
Because there are a lot of people who don't have anything good in mind for you, and your family, just take a look at what happens to people in South Africa because of Arab militias, look at what happens to people for being of different gorups, and also because of black warlords want to be in control.
The same thing, or similar things can be found all over. Look at what FARC does in Colombia "claiming they are fighting for the people when they take regular Colombians as hostages.
Look at what happens in Mexico with the drug cartels, and the kidnappings.
The same can be found in other countries around the world.
Sometimes i have no idea why some people make such statements "why can't we get along"... Well, look at what happens in the world.

As the article says the U.S. Strategic Command Gen. Kevin Chilton told reporters that the U.S. stil reserves the right to attack any country, even including using nuclear weapons, if the U.S. it an enemy of the U.S. such as China, or Russia use a disabling cyber attack on the U.S.

Wow! It seems to me that such a retalliation would be extremely disproportionate! It's also extremely dangerous making statements like this. I can't imagine any global support for the US should they use nuclear weapons, for a third time, against another nation.

This is supposed to be a new administration with new philosophies and ideals and yet all I"ve heard the last 6 months is possible war with ....
Iran
Pakistan
more troops in Afghanistan
now Russia...
is there any country I've left out?
Why don't these Presidents just worry about the poor down trodded American people and focus on improving their lot?
America has nukes, so why does the government have to have it's nose in stuff in other parts of the world?
Why can't they just sit back, look after their own and if they problem gets too close to your shores, get the nukes out and defend?
It would save a lot of trouble and trillions of dollars at the same time.
WARSAW, May 21 (RIA Novosti) - U.S. Patriot air defense missiles and over 100 U.S. personnel will be deployed in Poland by the end of this year despite Russia's objections, Poland's deputy defense minister has said.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said in February that a battery of U.S.-manned Patriot systems would be placed in Poland, regardless of whether plans for a U.S. missile defense base in the country go ahead or not.
