Canada’s Governor General began her Arctic tour by gutting a freshly slaughtered seal, pulling out its heart and eating it raw, according to media reports.
Michaelle Jean, the Queen’s representative to the country, did it as a gesture of solidarity with the country’s beleaguered seal hunters, the reports said,
adding that Jean expressed dismay that people would call the traditional hunting practices inhumane.
After eating the heart during a stop in Nunavut’s Rankin Inlet, Jean wiped her blood-soaked fingers with a tissue.

After slashing through the flesh, the Governor General turned to the woman beside her and asked: “Could I try the heart?”
Shortly thereafter, Jean was given a bloody piece of seal heart and ate it whole. She then grabbed a tissue to wipe her blood-soaked fingers.
“It’s like sushi,” she said. “And it’s very rich in protein.”
Jean said it was “absolutely delicious.”
Last month, the European Union voted to ban seal products.

to show some solidarity with us Conservatives and take her on a hunt for Nancy, Harry, Teddy Kennedy, Barney and others who toe the Liberal Democrat line!

LOL - she needs to go on tour with Ted Nugent. Maybe she’ll write her own “Kill It ‘n Grill It” cookbook.

As a Haitian she is probably used to eating raw hearts as part of voodoo rituals.

What sane civilized person would eat a raw, bloody seal heart? Or raw sashimi ... or fish eggs wrapped in seaweed with a raw quail egg on top ... or raw oysters on the half shell ..

Maybe she’ll write her own “Kill It ‘n Grill It” cookbook.Apparently she skips the "Grill It" part, so I'm not sure it could be called a cookbook.
