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!

Hair standing on end? A chill down your spine? The feeling of being watched?

CBC Archives can provide all that and more with their online exhibit:
Halloween and Tales of Canadian Ghosts.

Featured media clips include a history of Halloween, an interview between the beloved Peter Gzowski and a paranormal expert, footage of a Nova Scotia exorcism, and tales of ghost stories from across Canada. If that does not satisfy your need for things otherwordly, check out these five additional clips of ghostly visitors.

Take a peek, if you dare.

Bwah-ha-ha-ha!
