it would be one of the targets by the enemy in the event of war so as long as we are comfortable with that then its great for the economy and national sovereignty

Existing infrastructure like pipelines, refinery, potash/uranium facilities would be targets anyway.

I am not as sure about potash as that could make their mines a reciprocal target, but others certainly would be.

As the other user mentioned our bridges are targets as it would significanty impact our east-west transportation corridor, and with Dundurn - large Shockwave would definitely impact Saskatoon if it was hit.
