Every major city in North America had a nuclear missile locked on it, including Calgary.

You'll know there's a problem when we have to go back to building nuke bunkers and testing our nuclear war sirens and participating in duck-down drills.
Every city had a nuke targeted on it until the mid 90's. In fact most cities had more then one, I remember reading a book on nuclear exchange strategies, and Calgary had about 10 targeted on it. Washington had well over 100, and that doesn't include sub launched depressed launches where there would be about 3 minutes worth of warning.

There's pretty much no bunker deep enough to survive a nuclear exchange. Mount Cheyenne where Nato is buried in a mountain had a whole regiment of ICBM's with huge warheads and rock penetrating technology with the intent of turning that mountain into a lake.
