How to Be a Canadian

When Margaret Atwood suggested Will Ferguson follow up his runaway best-seller Why I Hate Canadians with a "tongue-in-cheek guidebook for newcomers on how to be Canadian," Will thought it was a swell ideaand he quickly recruited his brother, comedy writer Ian Ferguson. Together, the Ferguson brothers have created the ultimate guide to Canadian cultural quirks. This is a hilarious inside look at that unique species, the Canadian, and their thoughts on such diverse subjects as beer, sex, dating rituals, sports, politics, religion and, of course, their trademark death-defying search for the middle of any road.
