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.

Recently, executive producers scouting locations for the The Small Town Poker Tour paid visit to the province of Saskatchewan. Their mission is to find unique locations for filming what is touted to be the world's largest amateur poker tour.

The tour intends to travel throughout Canada, the United States, Europe, and Asia, blending everyday people with a game of Texan Hold 'Em, all while raising money for charity. The tour will be televised worldwide with the finals held in a casino.

More on the tour and its Saskatchewan stop can be found here, Small Town Poker Tour Visits Saskatchewan.
