Nuclear war would turn Canada into one of the worst places on the planet. (Toronto would see marked improvement)

OTTAWA—In the unlikely, but unfortunately not impossible event of nuclear war, Canada would be one of the worst places on Earth to live.
Or rather, to die.

Alan Robock, a pioneering researcher in the science of nuclear devastation, provides the terrifying picture.

“Countries like Canada — you think you’re safer because you’re a member of NATO and (American) nuclear weapons will protect you. But you’re actually not,” he says over the phone from New Jersey, where he is a professor at Rutgers University.
