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.

Thank you!

Ever wonder how many Canadian children were scarred by the odd couples of 1970s children's television programming?

What was the deal with Casey and Finnigan, the ever-revolving couples of The Polka Dot Door, and all of the hostility between the giraffe and the "chicken in the bag"?

Sean Twist has given it some thought and has tackled the subject in his most recent opinion piece, Canadian Tire Guy and Other Diseases.
