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!

Did you know that Jeopardy's Alex Trebek is a Nuk? Well he is! He was born on July 22, 1940 in Sudbury, Ontario.

Thanks to the marvel that is the internet, you can now challenge your friends to a little Canadian style Jeopardy. Categories include Land, Economy, People, Places, and Odds and Ends.

If you want to make the game really interesting, why not make a little bet with your non-Nuk friends? Loser cooks dinner for the winner or has to do the pile of laundry that is sitting on the floor. (Who said anything about this challenge being fair? )
