Meet Michaelle Jean, the Sarah Palin of Canada
I screeched with laughter at Gawker's take on the Michaelle Jean story. The Governor General of Canada gutting and eating raw seal heart at a celebration in Nunavut, is making news around the world.
Kicking off a weeklong visit to Nunavut on Monday as part of the territory's 10th anniversary celebrations, Jean gutted and ate some fresh seal at a community festival in the central Nunavut community of Rankin Inlet.
The move, to show support for the beleaguered seal hunters, comes as the European Union voted earlier this month to impose a ban on seal products after years of intense lobbying by animal rights groups.
Asked Tuesday whether her actions were a message to Europe, Jean replied, "Take from that what you will."
