PYONGYANG – After a pilot error took him to the wrong part of the Korean peninsula, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper mistakenly signed a free trade agreement with the North Korean Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, rather than the South Korean Republic of Korea he intended to negotiate with.
“I came here to get a free trade deal done, and nothing was going to stop me,” said a clearly excited Prime Minister. “Not protectionism, not human rights concern, and not the fact that the road leading to my hotel was literally covered with dead dogs.”
Sources inside the North Korean government say they were initially taken aback by the “large librarian” looking to trade with them, but decided to just go along with it after Harper and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un bonded over a mutual love of suppressing protests.
The deal opens the North Korean borders to a wide range of Canadian products including wheat, beef and petroleum. In exchange, Canada will drop its tariffs on North Korean exports of rocks and propaganda posters.
At press time, the Prime Minister was beginning to suspect something was wrong after his new trade partners kept murdering people in front of him.
