He updates Kierans, showing how the profit and growth imperatives of corporations must take precedence over community well-being, worker and public health, peace, environmental preservation or national security.

 Canada's nuclear schizophrenia | thebulletin.org
The conventional explanation, as expressed by Canadian-born U.N. official and disarmament advocate William Epstein, is that Canada's policy "reflected nationwide abhorrence of these weapons, the desire to prevent their proliferation, and to see them entirely eliminated, and the hope to benefit from the promising peaceful uses of nuclear energy."
This may be the commonly held view after decades of building an anti-nuclear myth, says Buckley, but it does not answer the question of why Canada ignored the bomb at the start.
Prominent critics included Liberal cabinet ministers Walter Gordon, Eric Kierans, and Donald Macdonald; and Pierre Trudeau's foreign policy adviser, Ivan Head.
