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.

Anybody watching the Canuck women slaughter the Italians on the rink?

CBC's Live Hockey Blog about sums it up:

How ugly is this going to get? It's the question on everyone's mind. The Canadian team is a powerhouse. The defending Olympic champions are expected to breeze through the preliminary round en route to a likely championship match with the Americans.

Italy is, well, how can we say this politely? The Italians are only in the tournament as hosts. To say they aren't expected to contend for a medal is a gross understatement.

Again, how ugly is this going to get?

It is only a few minutes in, and it is already pretty dang ugly.

PS. How awesome is Hayley Wickenheiser?
The Yank once sat beside her on a plane and called me when he landed just to brag!
