This video is in both French and English... You can probably understand most of what's going on even if you don't understand French...

All you need to know is that there is a word in French spelled ''phoque'' which is pronounced ''****'' but means ''a seal'' (the animal)

A nice reflection on Canada's schizophrenic bilingual nature... And a satire of Harper's ridiculous attempt to censor the world of arts so it can ''appropriately represent the values of the Canadian government''

Granted a lot of what passes for the arts today is crap but still funding has to exist for promising talent. If the art world better self-policed we might not have these missteps. Amazing though to witness the knobs in both the US and Canada running for office.
