edmontonsun.com - Canada- Tories pushing to have Canada enrich uranium, but won't talk
OTTAWA — Does Stephen Harper’s Conservative government have a hidden nuclear agenda? Not if you happen to live outside Canada. The Canadian government has been campaigning internationally for months to add this country to the small, tightly circumscribed club of nuclear enrichment states. But the diplomatic arm-twisting only came to light less than three weeks ago, when the United States announced it was dropping its insistence on a ban on uranium enrichment technology to non-nuclear states.

Alberta faces fight for reactor
Alberta and Saskatchewan are competing to house Western Canada's first commercial nuclear power plant, Saskatchewan's Natural Resources Minister Bill Boyd confirmed Tuesday.

herenb.com - Groups say 'no' to uranium
"This is a matter of life and death," he says. "New Brunswick has the highest rate of cancer in Canada. So why would you want to bring in something to cause more cancer?" Exploratory drilling has been going on in New Brunswick for the past two years. A large supply of uranium has been found between Harvey and New Maryland. There's also interest in opening a mine outside of Moncton. If approved, mining could begin within 12 years.

timestranscript.com - Majority opposes uranium mining
It is all too easy for a politician to claim a 'silent majority' supports him, but for it to be even half-way credible, some evidence to support the claim is needed, and New Brunswick Natural Resources Minister Donald Arseneault's claim about uranium exploration and mining is, frankly, ludicrous and without basis. Caption The claim smacks of political desperation equalled only by the minister's arrogant contention that all that is really needed is "to educate the public."

TORONTO, April 25 /CNW Telbec/ - It was safe until the explosion. Tomorrow's anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 recalls all the dangers of nuclear power, vividly portrayed in a new website that poses the question: What if a similar accident happened in Toronto?
