The Inuit have been happily eating seal meat for thousands of years and I highly doubt that they---or the GG for that matter---gave any thought to the EU who apparently finds traditional Inuit customs and the GG's response "bizarre". On the contrary, I think the EU is quite bizarre.Maggienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-853232798765675832009-06-02T05:12:39.439+01:002009-06-02T05:12:39.439+01:00Best: I avoid sweets.

Many Inuit are Canadians. Why should the GG should not eat seal heart if offered would be a better question. <br /><br />Tongues will wag, no stopping that.

The idea that British (and other EU) diplomatic missions do not participate in "unusual" ceremonies just doesn't make any sense. The British ambassador to France will eat cuisses de grenouille and escargots, while the ambassador to Saudi Arabia has probably partaken of sheep's eyeball.<br /><br />I am most impressed by the Governor General's conduct here - she really does appear to have brought dignity to the office as the Queen's representative. I was initially sceptical of her, but she really seems to largely get it.Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-86941122755150226962009-05-29T05:25:07.370+01:002009-05-29T05:25:07.370+01:00So PETA is advocating a universal boycott of Canad...So PETA is advocating a universal boycott of Canadian maple syrup...does anyone know if any of the producers sell online?

Magnificent!<br /><br />This also shows the inherent racism of our modern 'tolerance' (is there a more patronising term?) of other cultures. We are told we are to respect other cultures and their traditions, yet when the Canadian GG does exactly that, there is an outcry. All of a sudden it is not a bunch of culturally backwards peasants doing it, but someone who should know better. <br /><br />Time for some steak and kidney pie, what.Lord Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08505734600505832039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-39920532149513972812009-05-29T03:54:41.298+01:002009-05-29T03:54:41.298+01:00By the way, Prince Harry is set to visit New York ...By the way, Prince Harry is set to visit New York today on a 2-day official visit to America, where he plans to meet with veterans, visit ground zero, and squeeze in a polo match on Governors Island.

Meanwhile HM has not been invited by the French to take part in D-Day commemorations (despite the fact she is Head of State of two of the three countries that were involved, a fact not reflected upon apparently elsewhere) and MPs about to lose their seats out of sheer rage for their corruption and greed are now asking Brown to make them Peers of the Realm in the House of Lords.
