Ok, forget the seals, (unless you are a movie star looking for some cheap publicity) .... but Canada's record in dealing with First Nations people is not a good one. While Canada does not kill aboriginal people in a direct sense, one can argue that their continued inaction gives rise to the outrageous suicide rates, alocholism rates, and low life expectancy on reserves ...I could go on, but you get the picture ... The point I would like to make is that if one applied strict standards of government morality in all cases, not just to the COMMUNIST Chinese then no country would be judged fit to hold the Olympics. And I do believe that the land on which many of the events in the Vancouver Olympics will take place is territory which is claimed by aboriginal peoples. As the modified version of our National Anthem goes: "O, Canada, our home on Native land."
