I live in Barriere, British Columbia, Canada. I'm far enough from large cities that I'm not concerned about any physical blast effects. However, electromagnetic pulses from high-altitude nuclear detonations can affect locations thousands of kilometers away. If Russia wanted to inflict maximum damage on the US, it would be relatively easy for them to blanket the entire continental USA with EMPs, which would of course spill over into Canada as well.
This market resolves to N/A once the Russia-Ukraine conflict winds down and nuclear war has not occurred.
