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!

The Canadian women are still in the game, winning their third consecutive draw at the World Curling Championships in Scotland. The team is now in third place with Sweden and the United States out front. This afternoon the team faces off against the US and we certainly wish them luck in that.

To celebrate the women's success, I challenge you to a game of Championship Curling. I will forgo posting my score here out of shame. *hangs head in embarrassment* You are welcome to taunt me on my unacceptable virtual curling rock hurling skills.

You will find the game here. It is listed in the left side bar, second one down.

In the event that there is an expat out there that is seriously in need of a curling fix, check out the CBC's new DVD, "Canadian Curling Experience 2005".
