No Nuclear Warheads were ever under the control of the Canadian Forces There were nukes in Canada but the warheads were the property of the United States and were always under the direct supervision of a "Custodial Detachment" from the United States Air Force (or Army, in the case of Honest John warheads). In 1985, Canada repudiated the use of nuclear weapons altogether. Through 1984, Canada deployed four American designed nuclear weapons delivery systems equipped with hundreds of US-controlled warheads: + 56 CIM-10 BOMARC surface-to-air missiles. + 4 MGR-1 Honest John rocket systems armed with a total of 16 W31 nuclear warheads the Canadian Army deployed in Germany. + 108 nuclear W25 Genie rockets carried by 54 CF-101 Voodoos. + Estimates of 90 to 210 tactical (20–60 kiloton) nuclear warheads assigned to 6 CF-104 Starfighter squadrons (about 90 aircraft) based with NATO in Europe (there is a lack of open sources detailing exactly how many warheads were deployed). Clearwater, John (1998). Canadian Nuclear Weapons: The Untold Story. Dundurn Press Ltd. p. 21 and 22. Despite turning away from weapons development, the Canadian military had US-controlled (& owned) nuclear war heads equipped on Canadian CF-101 & CF-104 aircraft, ASW destroyers (ASROC), & tactical battlefield ballistic rockets during the 1960s & 1970s.

[quora.com] [retrieved March, 2016] In addition to the BOMARCs (which were retired in '72) Canada had (US owned) nukes arming the Honest John artillery rockets in Germany (retired in 1970), and in bombs to be carried by CF-104 Stafighters in Europre (also retired in 1970). Also, until 1984, Canada operated CF-101 Voodoo's armed with (US-owned) nuclear AIR-2A Genie unguided missiles. R.
