Adrienne Clarkson: The Princess Patricia S Light Infantry

Invasion By North Korea Dept: Older Canadians know it from the 1950-53 Korean War when 27,000 of our troops helped save the South from a military invasion by North Korea and China.

Its $1 trillion economy is the fourth largest in Asia, after China, Japan and India. It is the world s seventh largest exporter building nuclear reactors in the United Arab Emirates to which Canada wants to supply uranium .

By the end of that war, South Korea was in ruins. Its per capita income was $64. Today that figure is $21,000. The country of 50 million is an industrial/technological powerhouse.
