Canada does not rely on the US for her protection. She relies on 3 oceans. Both Canada and the US are force projection powers, meaning that our military is geared towards expeditionary forces, not home defence.
Not trying to put down India but you have to be extremely careful when discussing these comparisons and state a proper baseline for comparison. The only baseline I used when I brought up Canada was the "2nd nation status" of a non-nuclear weapons power.

While I may not agree with all you said here, frankly this comparision is not required here and is distracting from the thread. The discussion was about the Chinese reaction and her attitude to India.

Not sure what you mean. The NPT consists of alot more member states than just the N5. Are you saying the non-N5s NPT members are not living up to the treaty. After all, they were also punishing India and Pakistan as demanded by the NPT.

Isn't it obvious that this will be so? No point in arguing on it further.

Frankly, looking at the Law Passed by the Congress and Senate, India might as well have signed the NPT.

Good. We are both happy and all is well with the world.
