An Invitation from Foreign Affairs Canada

[-]

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.

Ick!
by Expat

Canadians are renowned for doing some odd things to french fries. We love our poutine, our poutsino, and our fries supreme.

It is, therefore, with great reluctance, that I announce that Chicago's Max's Famous Italian Beef has us beat with their ~~freedom~~ french fry, cheddar cheese, giardiniera, gravy, barbecue sauce, and raw onion concoction.

What do they call this gastronomical monstrosity?

Well, that is best left unsaid.

Hey, what do they think they're doing? It's our job to make some of the most discusting fries around. Are they trying to win the hearts of Canadians or something?

Of course, I love poutine. Who couldn't?

Ack!

I suddenly feel nauseous.

You always crack me up, Matt. (Flambe was a nice touch! LMAO) :)
