![]() Some jokes I only understood because of hearsay and others not quite at all. I’ve never really visited anywhere else in Canada frankly I’ve barely ventured out of Southern Ontario. While largely funny overall, I found the book a little esoteric at times. Sometimes these vary depending where in Canada they cover, while others are shown as more inherent to the Canadian identity. This book is a lighter approach, lampooning different facets of Canadiana, from language to leisure activities. Why I Hate Canadians was very funny, but it collected essays and anecdotes that used humour to explore and critique aspects of Canadian society. Unlike its predecessor, this book is much more tongue-in-cheek, the humour taking centre stage. ![]() ![]() How To Be A Canadian by brothers Will Ferguson and Ian Ferguson is a humorous guide to adapting to Canadian culture. The result is a nonstop comic ride through such topics as “Canadian Cuisine-and How to Avoid It,” “Regional Harmony (Who to Hate and Why),” and “How to Make Love Like a Canadian.” ![]() For this follow-up to his runaway bestseller Why I Hate Canadians, Ferguson, a Canuck himself, recruited his brother Ian to create this ultimate guide to the country’s cultural quirks, from diet and sex to sports and politics. Being Canadian can be a chore, says Will Ferguson, but it can be a lot of fun, too. ![]()
