pyatIf you had not heard, Canada's ceremonial head of state, the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, did a very interesting thing this past week. WHile visiting Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, she helped skin a dead seal. She then ate some of its uncooked flesh, specifically requesting a bite of the heart.
Whatever your feelings on the annual seal hunt, I have to admire her for so boldly stepping outside of the diplomatic, political sphere when responding to the matter. One US columnist compared her to Sarah Palin, which immediately caused a rift in space-time, since Jean is essentially the Anti-Palin in many ways.
