Enjoyed reading it. January 3, 2006

This is a most interesting read, mostly comedic, but it is really a hoot to read.
Cute and funny for the Canada lover September 12, 2005

This book has a wealth of quirky Canada facts and is overall an enjoyable read. A true Canadian would probally know most of the information in this volume, so this makes a great gift for that Canadian wannabe you know (or your friend the draft dodger.) Quirky and cute, I would buy this book for anyone who ever said "So what's up with Canada anyway?" This will difinitively answer their question.

I have to say that I absolutely loved this book! Not only is it very funny, its also informative for Americans who know little/nothing about Canada and gives a humorous sterotypical view of Canada. I have to say that if you were canadian you might find this funnier than americans because you know all the stereotypes and understand things like Poutine (fries with cheese), toques(hats) and the word "eh". There is many cute little diagrams throughout the book, and would be a perfect gift for an american friend, or give a canadian living in united states a good laugh. Definately worth buying!

The authors of So, You Want To Be Canadian (it should by all rights have an "eh" at the end of that sentence) have hit on all the essential topics in their humourous attempt to explain Canada to the rest of the world. Maybe it is not much more than beer, hockey, and beavers that make us so special but maybe that is more than enough if some combination of those three things make a people set up universal healthcare, be very polite to one another, and wear toques. After a long time in the United States, this book was a sweet little breath of cooling Arctic air and a chance to laugh at and with my homeland. A few mistakes pop up here and there but for such a slight book it provides a number of laughs and that is a good thing, eh.

I saw this book at Urban Outfitters and I thought it would be the best present for one of my friends. We are horribly obsessed with Degrassi. So, naturally, we have picked up all of their awesome Canadian habits. You know what I'm talking aboot?! It cracks me up every time. Everyone should go out and buy this book!! It certainly is my favourite.
