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!

Dear Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, Halle Berry, and Elsa Benitez,

It is time to move over and make room on the sexy scale because you are about to run into some smoking hot competition from the men and women of Parliament Hill.

That's right folks, the Hill Times has held is 13th annual survey for the sexiest MPs of Parliament Hill. Ottawa's sexiest men are Liberal MP Scott Brison, and Conservative MPs Peter MacKay and Rahim Jaffer. Sexiest women are Bloc Québécois MP Caroline St-Hilaire, and Liberal MPs Jane Stewart and Liza Frulla.

Get used to it world, as the term "Canadian politician" becomes synonymous with "smoking hot Canadian".

Signed,
Crazy Eyes expat G.
