(RE:)
I am beyond disgusted with this particular apparatus of the Canadian government, especially one that knows how abominably Justin will treat them:
The Canadian contingent at the games, representing Canada and its military, were ordered by superiors to salute the Communist dictator of China, Xi Jinping, as they marched past him. This broke with Canada’s traditional allies, including the United States, France and other NATO nations.
Canada’s allies refused to salute the dais where Xi sat observing the pageantry of the official opening of the 7th CISM Military World Games. The United States, Germany, South Korea, Finland, France, Greece and countless others snubbed the dictator. It wasn't even a snub really — hostile nations are not expected to salute each other, the Government of Canada just volunteered to. Australia didn’t just not salute the president, they didn't march in the parade altogether. Even Iran didn't salute Xi.
But then came the military athletes from the North Korean contingent. As they marched past President Xi, the stadium of Chinese nationals broke out in cheers as the hermit kingdom saluted their closest ally, China.
Canada honoured the Chinese tyrant in the exact same manner as the North Koreans. They marched proudly, in a show of admiration and respect for their Chinese hosts, in a manner that was unmatched by any military contingent other than the Chinese military themselves. Justin Trudeau “admires” China, remember.
This North Korea:
Thirty-two Canadians became POWs during the Korean War (1950–53). They were treated harshly, often forced to do hard labour, or placed in solitary confinement for weeks or months at a time. Neither North Korea nor China had signed the revised Geneva Convention of 1949. Efforts were also made to "brainwash" the Canadian POWs in attempts to alter their political perceptions. For propaganda purposes, some were also pressured to sign fictional statements saying they had wrongly entered North Korean or Chinese territory, or that they disagreed with the war. None, however, died in captivity and all were freed after the war.

All told, 26,791 Canadians served in the Korean War and approximately 7,000 continued to serve in the theatre between the cease-fire and the end of 1955. The names of 516 Canadian dead are inscribed in the Korea Book of Remembrance.

The woman, Ji Hyeon-A, describes a harrowing scene of prison dogs eating dead bodies at her prison camp. She pleaded for the world to act.
The event was titled “The Terrifying experience of forcibly Repatriated North Korean women,” and was sponsored by the U.S. France, Japan, South Korea, Canada and the U.K.
Ji Hyeon-A was repatriated three times to North Korea after she was caught in China. She finally escaped to South Korea and spoke of her horrifying experiences.
She described how North Korean women who got pregnant in China were forced to have abortions.
“Pregnant women were forced into harsh labor all day,” she said. “At night, we heard pregnant mothers screaming and babies died without ever being able to see their mothers.”
North Korea does not allow for mixed-race babies, she said. At one detention center, she described how inmates starved to death. Their dead bodies, she said, were given to the guard dogs for food.

Horrific detail has emerged from a UN report on human rights abuses in North Korea suggesting prison officials in the state "cooked" a female prisoner’s baby and "fed it to their dogs".

The number of people fleeing from North Korea is increasing again and homeless children begging for money are seen even near Pyongyang amid protracted sanctions and the coronavirus lockdown.
According to a source on Monday, North Koreans are gripped by fears of a severer famine than in the 1990s.
The source, who has been to Pyongyang recently, said many homeless children can be seen at Kalli railway station, a gateway to the capital. "Their presence is becoming a problem as they move around in groups begging and stealing."
Homeless people are sporadically rounded up and forced into labor at a makeshift facility nearby, and when homeless children are discharged from the facility they hang out near the station.

Some of the children in hospitals had their mothers next to their beds; some had younger relatives accompanying them as their parents had to work in a field. In orphanages there were kids huddled together on the floor of a very basic clinic looking straight into my camera, their eyes burnt through the lens as experts from MSF measured their upper arms, a standard test for possible signs of malnutrition. Some of the children appeared in the danger zone when a plastic bracelet was used for measurement. This meant they could die without proper treatment.

Roughly 33,000 North Koreans have fled to South Korea over the years, including homemakers, traders and even a few diplomats. Most took routes through China. Since 1996, only 20 have defected across the heavily fortified DMZ while serving in the military, according to an internal South Korean government document reviewed by the Journal.
Way to go, CAF. You saluted the rogue state whose treatment of its own people staggers the imagination. The calibre of your leadership and the complete lack of moral compass of individual soldiers (rather likes it government) indicates that your souls are rotten.
