582...EU Approves Seal Product Ban

I have said it before and I will say it again.

Let's ban the seal hunt and pay everyone in the industry a nice big chunk of change to retire from the bidness.

Then the World Wild Life Federation and People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals can move on to some other, loftier issue.

I still wonder why they, WWF, PETA, Bridgette Bardot, are so vexed by the seal hunt, seals being killed by the thousands, yet have no problems with lambs, who are killed by the tens of millions. Reference Post 17o for more information.

Lambs have souls too. Plus they are cuter.

My little rant comes on the heels of a Canadian Press report that the European Community, over the objections of member states Denmark and Romania, has decided that they will ban seal products from the EU.

564...Denis Coderre

Daniel LeBlanc in this morning's Globe and Mail reports that Denis Coderre, the Quebec Member of Parliament for the Liberals, becomes a cultural icon/target this fall on the Radio-Canada [that is CBC's French TV, I know, why is it not TV Canada? Here's why, it is based in Montreal, where the South Shore is East of the City.] hit show Et Dieu créa … Laflaque. The show is an homage to the British program Spitting Image.

The program runs at 7:30 Sunday nights on RadCan and draws an average of 800,000 viewers.

The title is derived from the 1956 French film And God Created Woman starring Brigitte Bardot, with Mr. Laflaque being a fictional anchorman.
