Product Description
So, you want to be Canadian? Who doesn't these days? Canucks are enjoying a major renaissance in attention, from their enlightened social policies to their wild and wooly pop culture. This playful, trivia-packed book is a long-overdue celebration of all things Canadian, from the mysteries of "eh?" to the difference between an Ogo Pogo and a Windingo to how to prepare moose stroganoff (mmm!). Featuring a dreamy list of Canadian hotties, a toe-tapping roundup of Canadian smash hit songs, a handy Canadian American translator, and pointers on how to eat, dress, and apologize like a Canadian if you weren't lucky enough to be born a Canuck, So, You Want to Be Canadian demonstrates once and for all why Canada is so cool (formerly just cold).

 Schmaltzy love letter to Canada March 14, 2008

This book could have been a lot better than it was. I thought it was going to have at least a little bite to it, but instead, every page broadcasted the same (incredibly inoffensive) message: "I love Canada!!! YAY!!!"
I love Canada too, but there are a lot of silly (and stupid) things about the country as well. If this book had shown more of the silly things, this would have been a much better buy.
Not so much after reading this book... February 15, 2008

So I realized I don't want to live the rest of my life on Cape Cod, I like the cold and the ocean, so maybe a small village in Canada? Not as funny as I had hoped, and way too much emphasis on alcohol and drugs. No thanks Canada, I won't fit in up North.
Good book but too short January 18, 2007

I am really interested in exploring the option to live in Canada - that's why I purchased this book in the first place. The book references to life in Canada in a humourous manner and is practically intented to familiarize Americans with the Canadian facon de vivre.. It was a fast and fun read though I wished it had more information on everyday Canadian life basics and differences between cities like Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa.
 cute but a little light on content July 5, 2006

If you're looking for a humorous quick read this book will suffice. However, its not going to make you go "yep that's me" or "I recognize that" as much as others of the genre might
Enjoyed reading it. January 3, 2006

This is a most interesting read, mostly comedic, but it is really a hoot to read.
