Canadian Expatriates, its contributors, and readers have been invited by Foreign Affairs Canada to participate in a series of eDiscussions. The current topic is “Showcasing Canadian Culture and Know-How Abroad”.

We are asked to consider the following questions:

What role does Canadian culture and know-how play in our foreign policy?

How might the government best promote Canadian talent and expertise in the world?

The eDiscussion runs from April 4 to May 6, 2005. At its conclusion, a summary of the discussion will be sent to senior policy planners.

The Expat admin team encourages its readers to join in the eDiscussion at the Canadian International Policy website.

The administration team is currently searching for Canadian expatriates who would be interested in contributing to the Expat Blog. The subject matter is wide open, but must remain family friendly.

If you are interested in joining our blogging team, please send an email our way!

Thank you!

Great news for Expats who live in close proximity to a Jewel-Osco grocery store!

Apply for their Preferred Savings Card and you will receive a coupon for a FREE bag of President's Choice Decadent Chocolate Chunk Cookies. I had no idea that Jewel Osco even carried the President's Choice line. In fact this is my first President's Choice sighting since I have left the Motherland.

Expats Rejoice! Perhaps this will be the first of many Canadian product sightings at American grocery stores!

As an aside, Jewel-Osco also carries Jones Soda, another Canadian product, as does Panera Bread, Starbucks, and Cost Plus.
