In response, he built himself a bunker. He actually built it to protect key members of government in the event of a nuclear attack, you know, to keep the nation going. But you\u2019ve got to imagine there was a little self-preservation behind the move as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While not being used as a fallout shelter, it was from the bunker that much of Canada\u2019s top secret Cold War operations were carried out. Very 007!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This 4-level, 100,000 sq ft bunker is pretty cool to tour.
