A New Voyage
Why this, why now ?
Cribbing directly from the Canadian diaspora Wikipedia page:
The Canadian diaspora is the group of Canadians living outside the borders of Canada. As of a 2010 report by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada and The Canadian Expat Association, there were 2.8 million Canadian citizens abroad […]
For comparison, that is a larger population than six of the ten Canadian provinces.
More than 9% of all Canadian citizens live outside of Canada. That compares to 1.7% of Americans, 2.6% of Chinese citizens, 3.3% of French citizens, 4.3% of Australians, and 9% of British citizens [...]
It is rare to find a Canadian abroad that doesn’t have some love for “the old country,” no matter how long they’ve been away.
It is surprisingly difficult, even in an increasingly connected world, to remain current to the news, information, politics and legislation that is having an impact on Canada, and especially on Canadians abroad.
The Voyageur is meant to fill that need for the Canadians who live abroad - a population we refer to as the 11th province.
By surveying a broad variety of news and information sources from across the country and across the political spectrum, our hope is to keep you current to news relevant to Canadians abroad in a way that simply scrolling Google News or cbc.ca every once in a while is unable to satisfy.
