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!

I am a bit late with this, but Happy Easter! I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday.

The weather kept the Easter Bunny at bay in our neighbourhood and forced us to spend the majority of the weekend in the safety of the basement. This year's tornado season has been crazy here in the midwest. In fact, the NWS is reporting that yesterday alone there were 18 twister reports in our region of the state. That was after a tornado ripped through a neighbouring town early Friday morning and downed 300 power poles. Needless to say, it has been anything but a relaxing holiday weekend!

The weather channel promises for a quieter day today. My fingers are crossed!



Tip o' the Day:
Cadbury chocolate can be difficult to find in the States at times other than Easter. Today is the day to stock up while it is on sale!
