“Could I try the heart?” This question from Governor General Michaelle Jean must surely rank as a the least predictable quote of the day. The Queen’s representative in Canada uttered the words in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, where, on the first day of an Arctic trip, she “gutted a freshly slaughtered seal, pulled out its raw heart, and ate it.” In this vivid report, Canadian Press tells us that she chowed down on raw seal as a gesture of solidarity with Inuit hunters.

    Maybe GG Jean is watching too much Anthony Bourdain – he’s always encouraging viewers to try the dubious animal parts.

    Good for her, she show’s that she’s got more spine that the entire Liberal Party and this was shortly after she ate the heart of the coalition.

    Bravo
