Quite an insane calculation, by a nation of fewer people than California, spread out 3,500 miles.
Such nation in the direct line of polar route fire, between long time enemies Soviet Union (Russia), China and the USA.
Canada has to be presuming that: a) Future conflict never occurs over their soil, or b) The USA will protect them in spite of their calculations, or c) That the rivals will spare Canada because they are s peaceful and helpful and polite etc.
A calculation to NOT align oneself with the most powerful nation on earth. A calculation to be effectively an obstacle to the most powerful nation on earth, so far as defending itself.
Very weakminded logic and math basis.

d)Canada's ally France will protect them.
I was pondering the possibility of any missile using the great circle route running out of gas, a bit short of the intended target. Would the country lauching it even bother to say oops?
I guess Canada is in a trusting mood...
Quite the opposite..actually the first sign that the Domiunion is starting to fragment....the separatists in Quebec want yet another vote....and another, and other, until they get what they want...soon, you're going to see a movement in the western provinces to chuck it all, and let them go..I do hope we take PEI in as well..good mussels..
