Is constructing nuclear weapons difficult in 2016? I'm legitimately curious. Does North Korea's apparent struggles creating a nuclear arsenal mainly stem from technological hurdles or difficulty aquiring the required fissionable/fusionable material to construct said weapons?

Could Canada hypothetically create a nuclear arsenal quickly if the need arose?

As an obvious layman, it seems that since this technology and the principles behind it have been in use for almost 80 years that we would be seeing more rogue nations developing these weapons than we currently do.
