Much Ado About Nothing

Apparently someone over at the Western Standard is freaking out that Ottawa is not sufficiently upset (at least in a public fashion) about North Korea's missile test. Apparently the missile that is to be tested would be able to hit BC.

Okay, but...

When has Kim Jong Il ever specifically mentioned Canada as a target?

I googled it and I can't find one instance of it. He doesn't care about us, I wonder if he knows we exist. If Kim was going to attack a country, would it not more likely be South Korea, Japan, or the United States? And even if he did do that, he'd have to know that he was signing his own death warrant. The man cultivates a mad cult of personality, but that does not mean he cannot comprehend the gravity of what would happen if he launched a nuke.

So in conclusion, even Kim Jong Il is unlikely to use a nuke, other than to deter an invasion, and even if he did, Canada would be pretty low on his priority list.
