Canada (Atomic Dreams)

Canada is the northern neighbor of the United States of America, and the 4th largest provider of Uranium in the world- bested by the USSR. Canada is an ally of the United States of America during the constant Cold War and instrumental in the planned defense of the US from Soviet Nuclear Strikes over the North Pole. Technology wise Canadian researchers are responsible for creating smaller nuclear reactors, a branch of engineering that has the SLOWPOKE reactor to name as it's predecessor. These reactors paved the way for viable Nuclear Cars and other powered utilities.
== History ==
* 1952: Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, a crown corporation, is established in Canada.* It becomes Canada's leading provider of Nuclear Energy in the decades to come.
* 1960: Public knowledge that the CIM-10 Bomarc will carry a nuclear payload.* The Progressive Conservative party avoids controversy (and government collapse) by standing with it's position regarding Nuclear Weapons for Canada.
* 1973: The Oil Crisis of '73 encourages provincial governments to seek to diversify their energy production though hydro and nuclear options.*
* 1970s, Mid: Quebec Nationalist embrace the Nuclear Energy Option and see it as the gate way to a bright future of Quebec sovereignty and technological grandeur with 40 reactors planned for the province.*
* 2000: Quebec's nuclear energy production effectively makes it reliant on neighboring provinces for Uranium generating a strong internal trade in Canada. Quebec prospers as more Canadians begin to speak French casually due to traffic into and out of Quebec leading to a greater exposure to the language.
