It could be. I would like to know if Canada will have to get involved.
We already are to the extent that we can be.. we're sending arms, ammo, protective equipment and medical supplies just like everyone else.

It could be helpful to investors.
I don't watch TV news, but I bet that monitoring the tone of war rhetoric is a useful tool to investors to gauge just how freaked out people are being told to be.. and then waiting for them to panic sell off a bunch of stocks, watching their prices plunge and then snapping them up and holding them until after they rebound again.
Might also be a good signal as to which arms suppliers to invest in and when if that's your thing. Same for energy and anything else required for the war industry.

Indeed!
I’m not super keen on investing in arms/ammo/oil companies, but there are likely others that profit from war.. and others yet that have nothing much to do with war but will see price volatility just because people are spooked - so a stock might tank on Friday morning after some sort of bad global news, then creep right back up the next week once people realize the world hasn’t ended. I might watch for some of those sorts of things.
