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.

The administration team is currently searching for Canadian expatriates who would be interested in contributing to the Expat Blog. The subject matter is wide open, but must remain family friendly.

If you are interested in joining our blogging team, please send an email our way!

Thank you!

Gentle readers, you may rest assured that the visual assault of broken image tags is not intentional!

My ISP, who also happens to host some of the template images for this blog, upgraded "technical platforms" and has encountered a number of issues since the change. Their transition work is expected to continue until the end of next week, so, unfortunately, the aesthetic quality of this website will be in flux until (a) my ISP has completed their upgrade or (b) I can scare up some copies of the missing images and change the template.

Sorry for any searing of the cornea that this fugly blog may have caused.
