sounds like a solid reason for Canada to acquire nuclear weapons

US in the south, and Russia in the arctic.

Saskatoon / greater SK is the 2nd largest supplier of uranium in the world, and most US nuclear weapons + plants are running on Canadian hot rocks.

creating medium range missile would be trivial for Canada in terms of resources and technological / engineering skill-sets in country. not a far flight from upper QC to NYC, or from upper Nunavut to Petrograd
