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!

Sunday afternoon was beautiful. The sun was shining. There was no wind. As I focused the camera on the Stars and Stripes, which hung limply from the flag pole, a gust of breeze erupted stretching out Old Glory in perfect display for the camera.




Hours later, tragedy struck this nation.

Those wishing to help in the wake of Hurricane Katrina can find a reputable charity at The Network for Good, or FEMA. Instapundit is also providing a list of links to charitable organisations.

Those wishing to help the displaced animals, can do so at The Humane Society of the United States, Best Friends Hurricane Relief Fund, Noah's Wish, The SPCA of Texas.

For those in the blogosphere who have been debating the politics of this disaster, I urge you to read the appeal by Paul over at Wizbang.


Tip o' the toque to The Blog Pound for thinking about our fuzzy buddies.
