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.

If Martha Stewart knows the proper etiquette for turning down a Thanksgiving invitation to Canada on short notice?

Ms. Stewart had planned to attend pumpkin festival in Nova Scotia, but recently learned that she can not enter Canada due to her criminal conviction. She is planning on announcing her regrets on television.

Just in case the domestic guru needs some assistance, here is a link to Emily Post's invitation etiquette. Unfortunately Ms.Post does not suggest the proper etiquette for ex-cons.
