🇨🇦 🤔 Why a South Korean submarine is travelling 14,000 kilometres to Canadian waters
Visit to Canada comes just before expected announcement of sub competition winner.
The Liberal government hopes to make an announcement on the winning bid by the summer.
Canada will acquire up to 12 new submarines for the Royal Canadian Navy and has narrowed the competition down to the KSS-III submarine from the South Korean company Hanwha Ocean, and the Type 212CD submarine from Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS).

Liberal MP Michael Ma's apology for confronting an academic witness about whether her evidence on Chinese aluminum supply chains could be "hearsay" coincides with a highly sensitive moment in Canada's trade war with the Trump administration. The U.S. included Canada in its recent tariff investigation to crack down on countries suspected of turning a blind eye to forced labour.
