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!

To the (not-so) anonymous tagger, "Hey Hey":

I appreciate the feedback that you left on the tagboard and I will take it into consideration. However, the best way to aid in the future direction of the site, is to get involved and become a contributor! As such, I wish to extend the following invitation to both you and all of our readers.

The administration team is continuing its search for Canadian expatriates interested in contributing to The Expat Blog. The subject matter is broad, but must remain family friendly. Topics may include (but are in no way limited to) your experiences with emigrating, your Canadian viewpoint on current events and world politics, or your observations of life abroad.

If you are interested in joining our blogging team or simply have ideas for future content, please send an email and we can discuss this further.

PS. Hey Hey, I think that "Enough with the Tim Hortons" would have been a more appropriate message to leave. I have written so much more about Tim's than I ever have written about ketchup chips. In fact, my preoccupation with Tim Hortons is almost embarrassing.
