Canada's governor general eats raw seal heart to support hunters

LOL! Putting aside for a moment the merits of the argument, this is one strange lady.

Good for her, I know the Queen has been served some tasty treats too.

Crosbie welcomes royals in sealskin

ohn Crosbie, the Lieutenant-Governor of Newfoundland, greeted Britain's royal couple today in a sealskin coat, a move that could spark new controversy among Europeans already upset over a rabbit stole sported earlier by Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Prince Charles and his wife were in Newfoundland early in the day as part of an 11-day royal tour, the first official visit by Camilla. They left for Toronto in the late morning after attending a series of events. The first was the planting of two oak trees at Government House, where they were welcomed by Mr. Crosbie wearing his sealskin coat.

Mr. Crosbie swapped it for a sombre blue overcoat by the next event, but photos of the sealskin garment will likely be a sore point with those who see the hunt as an antiquated and barbaric ritual.

It was a rare moment on an otherwise meticulously organized royal tour, which to date has been marked more by ambivalence than criticism. At many venues there have been small crowds and even the British press have noted the “chilly reception.”

Good for Mr Crobie too!

Newfies eat "seal flipper pie". No kidding. Recipe is on the net. Shame to let the heart go to waste.
