When indigenous rights conflict with politically correct notions

Delicious - Canadian Governor General, Michaëlle Jean, dines upon raw seal's heart

Son Excellence la très honorable Michaëlle Jean, chancelière et compagnon principale de l'ordre du Canada, chancelière et commandante de l'ordre du mérite militaire, chancelière et commandante de l'ordre du mérite des forces de police, gouverneure générale et commandante en chef du Canada has caused an upset in EUland by eating the heart from a seal, raw.

A seal which she also gutted incidentally.

The European Parliament, in its infinite wisdom, recently voted to ban Canadian seal products. This is apparently because the EU is uncomfortable with Canadian hunting methods.

However ever mindful of the rights of indigenous peoples, the ban does not extend to the Inuit peoples of Canada.

Although just how the good people of Brussels and its dominions will be able to distinguish between a product derived from a seal harvested by an Inuit from the identical product harvested by a greedy, planet raping white Canadian I have absolutely no idea.

Anyway I expect the ban has a feel good factor which may be relished by the gnomes of Brussels as they dine upon Pâté de foie gras, the production of which is still permissible in both Belgium and France^*

* French law states that "Foie gras belongs to the protected cultural and gastronomical heritage of France.". A rare example of indigenous rights being extended to a European people perhaps?
