G7 visitors take a pass on 'country food' feast
Bill Curry

Jim Flaherty invited all G7 finance ministers and central bankers to join him Saturday night for a closing community feast in Iqaluit, but in the end, the only taker was Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney.

Nonetheless, the two men appeared to enjoy themselves and took part in the community games – even though one involved rolling dice (not something finance ministers and central bankers are keen to have photographed). Inuit leaders had made a point of using the summit to showcase the importance of the seal hunt in light of a looming European Union import ban on seal products. The “country food” feast featured seal, arctic char and caribou meat.

Well, now that the Cons have embarrassed Canada yet again...

1. It was a mean trick to try to play on the rest of the G7 ministers

Harper wanted to maneuver them into a seal meat chow down and photo op. Naturally politicians from allied countries didn't want to be put in this position, given the majority opinions on the issue in their home countries. Harper should have known better, if only as a fellow politician.

2. Another of Harper's juvenile stunts.

Only nobody fell for it.

Embarrassing to Canada tho.
