Extremely Entertaining

I love this book. I just got it and have read it twice. It is a delightful romp that at times uncovers some rare tidbits (or is that Tim Bits?) of these underrated people. I particularly enjoyed the comparison between Anne Murray's song 'Snowbird' and the Snowbird aerobatic flying team. This work is a must-have for all Canadians, but I would recommend it for all nationalities. Mmmm....beaver tail.


Worth checking out

A great mix of fun and facts. A great read for everyone but a must for all Canadians who think they know themselves...this book shows we have so much more to be proud of. A lot of great surprises.

Fantastic! I loved this book.

Go out and buy a copy, now! I'm getting everyone a copy for Christmas. It is a very witty and charming book. I especially liked learning about the mysteries of "eh". This book helped me understand why Canadians are so fascinated with hockey. The delightful illustrations add to the fun.






What a book.

I laughed, I cried, I changed my name to Wilfred Laurier.

A smart, dazzling corker of a book, and a much needed contribution to 49th parallel solidarity. Savor, in particular, the passages on music and hockey. At times I missed the sober skepticism of Sorensen's earlier writings, but I now know the expectation was misguided. This book is a long awaited gift to Sorensen's fans: best to just be thankful for it. On balance, a winning effort. Maple syrup anyone?
