I saw this headline on one of those news tickers on the TTC. It read something like, “Fisheries minister takes a pie to the face in Burlington. Women in custody. No injuries.”. That was so strange that I had to look it up when I got home, sure enough I found the video on CBC News.
Police charged a 37-year-old woman with assault after she hit Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea in the face with a pie Monday at an event in Burlington, Ont.
Shea was delivering a speech at the Canada Centre for Inland Waters to open the Aquatic Life Research Facility when Emily McCoy of New York City stood up in the front row and planted the white cream pie squarely in Shea’s face.
“Shame on you, Gail Shea,” McKoy said before making a reference to the “bloody seal hunt.”
The pie aimed at Shea was apparently made of tofu, though the fisheries minister told the Hamilton Spectator that it “tasted like shaving cream.”
Shea did not require medical attention and returned to the podium after wiping the pie from her face.
“We’re certainly sorry for that delay, but unfortunately these types of incidents come with the type of business that I’m in,” she said.
Almost all of the fishing tattoos we’ve seen belong to fly fishermen. It’s really not surprising though, fly fishermen are some of the most dedicated anglers around!

I’ve talked about the My Outdoor TV site before, but I’m gonna mention it again. I’m not sure if they are constantly adding new programs, or I’m just finding them all accidentally, but they have built up a collection of some of the best fishing shows from around the world. I just realized they have Fish’n Canada, one of my old favorites, featuring one of my favorite anglers, Pete Bowman. If you aren’t from Canada, you probably haven’t seen the show, but there are several really good episodes, and some not so good, but either way, check it out!
