^They eat seal meat here.
On the EU ban: okay, unless it's actually harmful for people, let people decide what they want to or don't want to buy.
On the mace for the torch: if we have the Canadian olympic athletes wear seal fur then I am willing to pay $1000 to the first athlete (any country) that makes a grab for the torch when it comes into the stadium and starts clubbing Stephen Harper with it.
On Canada posturing trade tariffs against the EU: get over it. Two wrongs don't make it better and at least you'd have the ability to say WTF were you guys doing with this in trade talks.
On the seal hunt in general: we kill animals, we eat animals. Canada and NL have made some concessions on how the hunt is done in the past few years. If people don't like it, don't buy the product, demand will shrivel and unless the Canadian government is going to subsidize sealers to go out and kill things no one wants in the sake of job creation, then the seal hunt will die on its own. It's time for some reskilling of people in some sectors. I'm back in school right now. Stop teaching your kids to rely on the ocean when it's nothing but bad news.
I'm apologizing for all the incorrect stuff I've thrown out here (except for the clubbing Stephen Harper point, I stand by that.)
