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!

The Canadian men's hockey team may have met their match in Torino, but Canada's sledge hockey team righted the wrong and brought home the gold!

Rick Mercer had an opportunity to hit the ice with the team prior to their departure to Italy and found that there was nothing easy about the sport. Watch as Mercer gets his booty kicked by Canada's sledge hockey heroes! It is definitely not a sport for the faint of heart.
