On the Korean Peninsula

I am sure another famine will follow:

This image dated Aug. 30, 2020, and captured from the homepage of the Rodong Sinmun, an organ of the North Korean Workers' Party, shows North Korean Premier Kim Tok-hun visiting farms in South Hwanghae Province hit by Typhoon Bavi that swept through the Korean Peninsula last week and discusses working-level issues stemming from the recovery efforts.


It should be pointed out that Canada gladly repatriated ISIS child rapists:

A former bodyguard of the late North Korean ruler Kim Jong-il says Canada’s decision to deny him asylum and deport him to neighboring South Korea will put his life in jeopardy.

Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board has rejected a request by Lee Young-guk, 57, to allow him to remain in the country, according to The Toronto Star.

The board justified the decision by claiming that Lee’s statements that he faces persecution in South Korea ‘lacked credibility’ and that he played down his role as a military adviser under Kim while trying to distance himself from potential human rights violations.


Though the usual course of action is return North Korean defectors to South Korea where they have a veritable right of return, it is often the case that North Korean agents threaten them or their families making the distance the defectors gain while in North America preferable.

The Canadian immigration refugee board opted to play the hypocrite card (I imagine that they would be stunned to hear that forty-one percent of Canadians think that immigration levels are too high or that waiving fees for passport-holders is a stupid idea).
