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.

Thank you!

Woohooo to a perfect score on Canucklehead's Daily Quiz!

Today's topic is politics, and it seems like it must be an easy one because as of right now there are seven perfect scores!

Also, here is a little pop culture history. Did you know that on this day in 1990 Alannah Myles (a Canuck) topped the Billboard singles chart with her hit Black Velvet? No? Neither did I!

(Holy crow that it has been 15 years since Black Velvet was number 1!)
