Of course Canada is no second class nation. But is it a world power? Frankly there is no comparision between India and Canada because os the enormous difference in their size. Besides canada has the US to protect her. It is not living in a dangerous neighborhood.

Whatever India's view on the NPT, this does not relieve NPT signatories from living up to the Treaty at least by the letter of the Law, if not by spirit. This being said, India knew full well of the reaction and went ahead with the tests. India cannot complain about others living up to their committements to the NPT.

You are right. I was just pointing to the hypocricy of preaching to others what you do not practice.
"Do as I say. Not as I do."

I can point to the various SALT and START treaties and SRF treaties as a sign that the N5 are disarming.

Of course you know and I know it has nothing to do with eventual "disarming". It was just coming back from an unsustainable stockpile size which was no longer required.

The US-Indian nuke deal states otherwise.

More on the part of N5 than India.
