The western world is only now waking to the nightmarish specter of China providing nuclear technology know-how to Pakistan and North Korea.
China’s nuke know-how can be stamped: "Made in Canada".

Morden stated: `We are now essentially ready to complete work on a commercial contract.’" (David Martin, Nuclear Awareness Project, November 1996).

Power Corp is involved. I'm so suprised. (sarcasm)
Why not? They probably figured that if Clinton and Gore gave Loral permission to pass rocket and sophisticated guidance systems so they could for the first time China could target and hit ever US city, no wonder Canada thought it would be no big deal to give them nukes to.
Power Corp? Paul Desmarais strikes again!
“five of nine” - were trained in Candada
