    I have to say I really enjoyed this book - but I can see why a few people have said they didn't like it at all - it's all about the sense of humour you have.

    I loved the comedic twists it put on everything, and was plesantly suprised to see some less known areas of Canada mentioned along with the larger cities that you'd expect to be reading about. It got a bunch of giggles out of me - and I will be buying a copy as a gift for some relatives this Christmas!

    I bought this book in an airport and read it on the plane ride home. Everyone in the surrounding six rows was looking at me funny I was laughing so hard. This is one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. I LOVED IT!!

From the Critics

"This book is, in fact, a reminder of what Canadians do best: make ourselves (and others) laugh. Bring on some more Ferguson brothers."
