Country Insights provides information on 211 countries (e.g., history, geography, culture, politics, economy, media). For selected countries with close ties to Canada, cultural interpreters provide local and Canadian perspectives on topics such as conversations, communication styles, religion, class, ethnicity, gender, hierarchy and decision-making, stereotypes, and recommended books, films, and foods. The site also publishes Intercultures magazine and provides articles, discussion papers, book review, readings on intercultural topics, and government publications.
