Senior N. Korean diplomat to visit Toronto
TORONTO, May 27 (Yonhap) -- A senior North Korean diplomat stationed in New York will visit Toronto next week for a lecture on Korean Peninsula issues, a report said Friday.Amb. Park Gil-yon, chief of North Korea's mission to the United Nations, will deliver a speech at a York University seminar on June 2, the Korea Times Canada, a Korean-language paper affiliated with Seoul's Hankook Ilbo, reported.


I seriously wonder what the heck he is going to speak about. How to make Canada into the Socialist utopia? How to live on 2kg of rice for one year? How to have a party or leader rule for decades (oh, wait, Canada already has that)?

Did I ever mention that last time I was in Calgary I ran into some North Koreans? They were at the airport heading back east. I tried to talk to them (in Korean) but they would have none of me. My wife was no help either as she seriously despises them. I eventually got out of their handler that they were in Alberta to study potato farming.

Ok, so the Canadians taught them about potatoes, what did the Norks teach us?
