Editing The Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap/Canada (section)

== Nova Scotia ==

Nova Scotia is, economically, rather weak. Only a few off-shore oil platforms will be major economic targets. As for military targets, the city of Halifax, although small, has the majority of the country's Naval infrastructure, a large, natural deepwater port, as well as the regional command hub for the military. The provincial capital is also here, making it an even bigger target. CFB Greenwood, the largest airbase on the Atlantic coast is also a major target, being home to a number of airborne ASW and Anti-shipping assets. Finally, due to prevailing wind conditions, a large amount of fallout from the United States can be expected to drift over the province. 
Short term, Nova Scotia's medical infrastructure will be taxed heavily, most likely to the breaking point due to the large number of cases of radiation sickness. The northern part of the province will be hit especially hard, due to a large number of refugees fleeing south from New Brunswick, and north from the hard-hit regions of the southern part of the province. Over time, the region will recover due to a deep-set tradition of DIY and hospitality, and large coal deposits will allow a faster return to heavy industry than other regions.
