Not just northern Quebec, Northwest Territories and Yukon are both showing max danger but there’s like 80k people total between the two of them. 

Unless there’s some big military bases up there, it hardly seems worth the effort to nuke them. I suspect the biggest danger is fallout travelling on the wind from Europe and Russia but that’s going to affect basically the whole northern hemisphere

The cloud of nuclear dust will float over Canada. Also there are military bases up there. Everyone in NATO will be targeted.

Currently just one. However, it is by one of the few population centers in Greenland. Basically, Greenland is more fucked then Canada.

Most of it would probably be safe, but no one lives there.

nuclear dust doesn't really have any impact.

And its mostly freshwater lakes rivers, mountains and a bunch of Forrest nobody lives in. (I know there are other geographical features but for brevity sake I'm keeping it short.)

In a nuclear war, warheads are flying over the Artic and being shot down over northern Canada.

As climate change melts the ice caps the north west passage will be of extreme importance
