  3. There’s irony afoot when someone from Saskatchewan is posting seal menu’s.
    How far do they have to walk to get there?\
    😉

  4. Check out the pictures and captions on the facebook group “stop the sealhunt in Saskatchewan”.

  5. Echoing the comment I just added to the latest Reader Tips . . . according to Rebecca Aldworth of the Humane Society of Canada, seal hunting is “against Canadian values”.
    As I said on-air on CKNW a few minutes ago, isn’t it amazing that “Canadian values” always seem to coincide with the views of the Radical Left?!
    So as you go through your week, folks, remember that you’re trampling on Canadian values if:
    – You eat any chicken or beef or pork or lamb or fish or shellfish
    – You use firewood to keep your family warm
    – You go hunting
    Frankly, I think that Rebecca Aldworth and her like-minded friends are all RACISTS. They have no empathy for Canadians who don’t live in an urban postal code. Can you say “Human Rights Violators”?!?

    What, you never heard of genuine Saskatchewan seal skin straps?
    Back to the Super Dave Osborne remedial course for you!!

  8. This would be a case of “Medium sized Dead Animals”.

  10. I have wondered how you keep you headlined “civil”, I am sure that on one or more occasions the devils have told you to write something and the angels won. The GG will rip your heart out and eat it! The boys in Ottawa had better be very careful around that gal. Bet her unofficial invite to the White House will be lost in the mail now. Good on her for sticking it back on the EU. I not a fan of the position of GG either, big waste of money)

  11. Well we can honestly say ol MJ got to the heart of the matter with the gut instinct of a master politician.

  13. According to Chris Rock, syrup(and jam) is popular with prison inmates. Apparently it tastes good on a salad:(

  14. So, our Head of State, eats raw the heart of a cute and cuddly baby seal. Imagine what Canadians do to those people who REALLY piss us off.
    The U.N. is deciding how best to issue another strongly worded resolution.

  15. Seals have problems with worm infestations chiefly obtained through their fish diet. Yuk heart worm.

  18. I see from others around the blogosphere that because Canada’s second CBC trained journalist turned GG ate some seal heart, she’s now A-OK tabernac! She’s a true Canadian, gosh darn!
    Colour me skeptical of her and her FLQ terrorist supporting husband..

  19. Maple syrup would never cover that fishy taste seal has, yuk.
    Now maple syrup on ham or pork of just about any kind is yummy. Why, just this weekend, to celebrate Victoria day, I made a pork loin roast with maple syrup and apple sauce.

  21. Gov General Michaelle Jean referred to the “humane traditions” of the Inuit, with reference to her gutting seal and eating the heart. Do you think she would give the same enthusiastic endorsement to the traditions of the Newfs?

  22. I like this woman. She’s attractive, visits the troops in a war zone and eats baby seal’s hearts. This is all in a long Canadian tradition.
    Peta and Europhiles are frothing at the mouth. Go, go, GG!!

  23. I like this woman. She’s attractive, visits the troops in a war zone and eats baby seal’s hearts. This is all in a long Canadian tradition.
    Peta and Europhiles are frothing at the mouth. Go, go, GG!!

  25. I never thought I would hear myself saying this, but I now actually have some respect for the GG.

  26. So is seal meat like garlic & onions, you don’t eat it on a first date.

  28. Flashback: March 23, 2006.
    PM Harper stands with seal hunters.
    PM Harper sets the example: a leader.
    PM Harper: Been there, done that.
    GG follows the leader: PM Harper.
    Bardot eats her heart out.
    “failing to secure an impromptu audience with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.”
    “BARDOT POUTS FOR HARPER”(sic)
    Before Pamela Anderson staged press conferences to demand clemency for chickens, and vigilante protesters lobbed buckets of red paint at well-heeled fur-clad women, there was French film actress Brigitte Bardot. Called “the Princess of Pout” by Time Magazine, the 1960s sex kitten starlet created a public furor that led to a permanent ban on the hunt for “white coats” after images of her cajoling baby harp seals on the Canadian ice floes were published in the 1970s. Bardot was back in Canada yesterday, failing to secure an impromptu audience with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Instead, she had to settle for a press conference on the 27th floor of an Ottawa hotel. Flanked by a fiery Paul Watson, a co-founder of Greenpeace and the man who first brought her to Canada so many years ago, Bardot dabbed her teary eyes as she demanded that the Canadian government stop “the massacre.” Meanwhile, on the streets below, Inuit youth protested with placards with slogans like “Protect Inuit Culture.” Of all the public crusades that occur in Canada on an annual basis, none garner as much attention or possess the degree of emotional wattage as the East Coast seal hunt.”

  29. So, “MichaĂ«lle Jean, “gutted a freshly slaughtered seal, pulled out its raw heart, and ate it.”
    All I want to know was it still beating? Yum!

  30. Canada needs a Sarah Palin and the GG clip on the news was great with her skinning the seal, then she cut off chunks of fresh flesh and passed ’em around before eating hers. Almost like she knew what she was doing. Very impressive.

  32. Where is pitiful pita with protestation of the religiously motivated slaughter of pig in the most disgusting way I have ever seen in saudi???

  33. About this Euro-ban on seal products…please don’t tell me the Spanish are on board with this.
    How many bulls are slowly slaughtered there in the name of sport?
    As for the Gov-Gen, first the proroguing of parliament and now this. This woman’s dialed in.

  35. Please…the seal thingy took guts, or nerve, and perhaps good pr advice…but Sarah Palin..??
    I know someone who has another opinion of GG MJ based on several personal encounters…she is no Palin.
    Palin is classy and can carry on an intelligent conversation, and handled animals quite well without the publicity.
    Kate Macmillan is Canada’s Sarah Palin.

  36. Well, I’m glad to see that the GG is being proactive in this matter. What’s the old saying, “no guts, no glory?”
    Question for Kate: do you take commissions for original art work? I must say I’m very impressed with your painting posted a few threads back.
    What I have in mind is a sort of a pastiche upon the “dogs playing poker” genre. How about 4 seals seated at a bridge table. One of them has an eye-patch and some bloody bandages on his head, and he is looking at his hand with a mixture of dismay and disgust painted upon his face. Title of the picture, needless to say, is “Oh Shit, Clubs Again.”
    Seems to me there would be opportunities to load the painting with in-jokes and visual puns, too. How about a Madonna on the wall, with Elizabeth May suckling a baby beaver?

  37. Worked at Vanoc for a time while PETA attempted to tie up the lines about Canada’s seal harvest. Some were sincere but most were obnoxious and rude to the receptionists, to the point they had at least one in tears. Some people are better at tearing down than at building up. This is what is required to become a member of this self-righteous group of malcontents.

  38. That is the grossest thing I have ever seen on television. But, I am pleasantly surprised that the GG did something that is not politically correct. I didn’t think she had it in her. Wonder what her husband thought?

  39. So, the GG eats a raw seal heart to show empathy with the locals up north.
    Well, it’s almost stampede time in Calgary. Perhaps she may drop by for a visit. Heaven knows that the Royal presence needs buffing up in these here parts.
    There’s a place in town that serves up prairie oysters.
    Encore?

  40. Almost makes me think about buying Canadian maple syrup… almost. BTW, as if IHOP served anything besides brown colored corn syrup, Canadian or otherwise.

  42. on the beach once i subsisted on tinned whale meat for a long while…..from charlie rodrigues the chandler in Gib.
    things finally looked up and i was farting thru silk again…

  43. Oh, Vitruvius! Any chance of getting our resident DJ to spin “Sealed With A Kiss”?
