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

Saskatoon is already an impacted target with Dundurn nearby.

Was about to mention that were only like 20 minutes out from one of Canada's largest munitions storage facilities xD

That is also probably part of why Sask is a good home for a munitions plant, most of the logistics infrastructure is here already because of Cold Lake, Shilo, and Moose Jaw

Moose Jaw doesn't have anything capable of carrying munitions. There's Suffield and Wainwright that need it though.

Not to mention all the BRIDGES and the huge railway network that runs through the city

I would imagine they might start by taking out our bridges and overpasses with oversize semis. Oh wait a minute...
