Canada should get aboard the Korean peace train

The peace train is rolling in the Korean Peninsula. Countries such as Canada that traditionally take their cue from the U.S. might want to hop aboard—even if Trump doesn’t.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-In, pictured on April 27 in Panmunjeom at their historic meeting. The upcoming June 12 summit in Singapore between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un will be important. No question about that. America is a major force in the region. As well, it and other members of the 1950-53 UN Command (including Canada) are still technically at war with North Korea, writes Thomas Walkom. Photo courtesy of Flickr
