So Canada is now considering canning its problem-plagued Victoria (ex-Upholder) class diesels which have seen practically no service since they were purchased from Britain. While no definite budget exists for a replacement and the focus at the moment seems to be on the surface fleet, there is word in both the government and the navy that they would like to have nukes (particularly due to Canada's obvious interest in Arctic operations, where diesels aren't so hot).

Thoughts? Will this ever happen? Would used British nukes be a good idea for Canada?
