First published in 1997, this hilarious book launched satirist Will Ferguson's career. Challenging the notion that Canadians are nice, the book asks, Do we as Canadians deserve a country so great? Tackling subjects from Canada's favorite inbred royals to the mighty beaver as national icon, from sex in a canoe to all-Canadian "superhero" Captain Canuck, Ferguson rampages across the cultural landscape. The book also provides a fast-paced, opinionated overview of telling moments in Canadian history, including its run-amok Mounties and fun-loving days of the country's (unacknowledged) slave trade."
