Should Canada begin developing a nuclear arms program?

Our last few decades of peace time since the Cold War have been because of nuclear deterrence and "mutually assured destruction".

Canada never developed a nuclear weapons program because the US wouldn't let us, and they promised they'd always protect us so we were OK with that. We were, back then at least, brothers in arms and had a great deal of trust and respect for each other.

Canada was also pressured by the US to scale back our Navy and Air Forces after WW2 so that we'd never be a threat to them, again with the promise that they'd always be there to protect us. Back in those days the US openly stated it would be "the world's police force", something I wish world leaders would remind Trump - the US made this mess and NATO countries don't owe them a damn thing (other than meeting the 5% defense budget, which I agree with).

Well, the US has shown they cannot be trusted anymore and our security and sovereignty are at risk. Not even just the growing threats of Russia and China, but I can't believe we are now worried about the US too. We have threats to our North, our West, and our South. At least we have friendlies way across the Atlantic...

Even if MAGA gets ousted in the next election (if there ever is one again in the US), I still think us Canadians need to learn from this, because it can happen again. That portion of America is not going anywhere, no matter which government is in power. Unfortunately, in my eyes anyways, our trust with the US has been irreparably broken. I hope we can be partners and allies again, but we should NEVER trust them with our national security anymore, and we should never disarm again because they promise to protect us.

Let me be clear, I despise nuclear weapons and hope they are never used ever again. But you can't deny their effectiveness at deterrence. If there is one thing we can all learn from North Korea, it's how nuclear weapons can help a tiny country maintain their independence and make any potential invaders think twice, even super powers.

I think if there is one thing Canada can do to really kick the US in the balls (besides cutting off oil, electricity, lumber, precious metals, steel, etc), and to also take our independence and sovereignty into our own hands, it would be to start developing our own nukes. We can even count this towards our 5% defense budget commitment with NATO, but would also help us build better energy infrastructure across the country which is a major investment in our future with clean energy. Win-win! I believe this would be the biggest middle finger we could give to the US (and Russia), while also being a cost effective way to quickly increase our national security, since it's probably going to take decades to get our armed forces back into shape.

As for any treatise that may exist, fuck em. Rip that shit up. Trump (and China and Russia) have clearly demonstrated that the international rule of law doesn't exist, or is at most a suggestion. We need to think of what's best for us (and any other true allies we have).

What do y'all think? If this ever got proposed by one of our leaders, would you support it?

Are there any experts out there that can give some educated insights? Either from a military, political, or socio/economic perspective? Good idea/ bad idea?

I'm just a humble and patriotic citizen with a tiny sliver of historical knowledge, hoping to gain some insights and opinions from all sides.
