We are in the middle of an election here. The beaver head is the guy our Prime Minister sent to represent Canada. There are days I am embarassed to be Canadian. Playing politics with a state funeral really gauls me.

I don't know how that's "playing politics" as you put it.
It is one country showing respect at the funeral of another country's statesman. A proper and acceptable conduct.
It wasn't just a "state funeral," as you call it, it was a showing of honor toward the President of a neighboring state... and I think it was a nice gesture.
Why do you find it embarrassing?
