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 Blog Security Advisory System® has issued a security alert level of yellow to The Expat Blog, indicating a significant risk of a breach of blog security.

This is why...

Mere days ago The Expat Blog broke the story that the great Canadian secret was out of the bag. Now, those armed vigilante rednecks of the south, the Minutemen, are dispatching their troops to patrol the Canada-United States border.

One can only surmise that the security of this blog has been breached and that there is a spy amongst us gathering information on all things Canadian. As such, Canadian Expatriates is now going into lockdown. This is a temporary measure until the borders of this blog can be fortified with roving bands of vicious beavers and Canucks can, once again, speak freely of attaining world domination.
