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!

Since moving south of the 49th, I have had to rely on the Daily Show to provide a steady diet of political lampoonery, but no longer must I feast from the American media's banqueting table.

For those Expats who have been thirsting for Canada's brand of satiric bantering, fret no more. Rick Mercer's Monday Report has an ample supply of video clips to satisfy your hunger. I particularly enjoyed the advertisement for the CBC's upcoming "Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Ass: The Paul Cellucci Farewell Special". You can find the clip under "Highlights from the Latest Show" near the top of the page.

Ah Rick Mercer, how I love thee!
