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!

This story might be old, but it is still entertaining.

Picture's caption reads:

RCMP in Prince George, B.C., are hot on the trail of a trickster [who] was responsible for superimposing the Tim Hortons brand on the flag of the Mountie logo on an RCMP [vehicle]. Police didn’t even notice the change until they saw the photograph in a newspaper yesterday. So far, no one has stepped forward to claim responsibility, but RCMP spokesman Const. Gary Godwin isn’t ruling out an inside job. ‘There are some light-hearted members on the force,’ he said.
