If Canada was truly threatened by the United States, it would make sense to build a nuclear deterrent; however, in doing so, it gives the US a right to attack us.
It's pretty backwards
There is definitely scholarly literature that notes international relations would be more peaceful if all countries maintained some type of nuclear arsenal as a deterrence.
