The latest of the EU Seal Ban
In 2010, the European Union voted to impose a ban on the import of all seal-based products. That was a devastating blow for the sealing industry in this province. So, last year, the government of Canada decided to appeal the ban to the world trade organization. The process has been dragging since then, but this week, the federal government decided to push the issue and ask the WTO to appoint a committee to deal with it. This comes at the same time Canada is finalizing details of a free trade agreement with the EU, which pro-ban parliamentarians have said they'd reject if the seal appeal goes ahead. To find out what this all means, and whether the end result might benefit the seal industry in this province, I called Peter Clark. He's an international trade expert, based in Ottawa. Source: CBC

People of the seal

This award-winning film explores the centuries-old connection between the northern fur seal and the Unangan natives of Alaska's Pribilof and Aleutian Islands in the middle of the Bering Sea. Aquilina Lestenkof traces five generations of her own family's history in this remote part of the world, weaving together native, Russian, and American cultural threads. At the heart of the story, are the fur seals. Like the Unangan, the fur seals are struggling to survive. As Aquilina says, 'if they're not here, then we won't be either.'
