A compilation of quotes by Canadians.
Some of the chapter headings:
The World According to Canadians
Rick Mercer: Being attached to America these days is like being in a pen with a wounded bull. (still totally true!)
Ralph Klein: Edmonton is not exactly the end of the world...but you can see it from there.
The Canadian Vocabulary
Floyd Maxwell: Coffee; creative lighter fluid.
Glenn Ford: Democracy; the right to make the wrong choice (it’s election week in Ontario!)
Laurence J. Peter: Heredity; what sets the parents of a teenage wondering about each other. (NO KIDDING!)
Uncommon Sense
Margaret Atwood: BEtter never means better for evereyone. It always means worse, for some. (Did I mention it is election week in Ontario?)
Life and Death (Under Free Health Care)
On the Canadian Moose (and other animals of the True North)
Politics from the Politest people in the World
Rules of the Land
Laurence J Peter: If ignorance is bliss, there should be more happy people.
Worth reading – some boring, some provocative, most amusing (or at least causing a groan).

It's fine. Lots of quotes but a limited number of authors (the same names kept coming up again and again), and you can tell the editor used a spell check on the finished work but didn't proofread it; everything's spelled right but many quotes have misplaced words ("When we want to be useful and loved, so let's not be too funny." - Bernadette Jouvin) or misplaced letters ("A man's best friend is a bottle of beer with a twist stop." - Art Linkletter).
