The destruction is mutual, but not assured and total (total just didn't make it into the acronym). Nuclear war isn't a good analogy.

Basically, do we want to continue relying on the US, or not? Not doing so has a cost, but we might not have a choice. Canada can survive without the US, if in a slightly poorer form.

Canada still has decent friends to trade and work with. Can't say the same for the Fascist States.

I worry that Canada will not be able to export efficiently due to lack of port infrastructure, especially on the Pacific Coast. Massive industrial ports are expensive and take years to bring online.

Y'know, if you're willing to make a few small concessions on who is ultimately in control of your country, I know this great authoritarian dictatorship that's been investing in new port infrastructure projects all around the world.

Yes, me too. It's really hard to find information on how much extra capacity there is, although I've seen indications it's not zero.
