Canada Cold War Propaganda Collection: Throughout most of the Cold War Canada maintained nuclear weapons – including short-range ballistic missiles, nuclear depth bombs, nuclear-tipped air-to-air rockets, surface-to-air missiles and high-yield gravity bombs principally deployed in the Western European theatre of operations.
Another key element of Canada’s military history during the Cold War was Unification, recommended in the bold 1964 Defence White Paper, and put into action in 1968. (Wikipedia)
