Rate this book
Here in one big book is all the trivia and facts about Canada anyone needs to know. The Big Book is jam-packed with facts and stories. There are stories of important Canadian artifacts and history including what became of Canada's World War II spy camp. All regions and provinces are covered, as well as important Canadian figures like John Molson, Elizabeth Arden and Russ Jackson. If that isn't enough there will also be pieces explaining whatever happened to such Canadian icons as the last spike, the first skidoo and the first Tim Hortons donut shop. Some of the items are "classics." Others are little known facts. Approximately 25% of the material has never before appeared in print. This fascinating Big Book brings together for the first time in one package the most notable facts and trivia from the archives of the trivia guys' collection.

And I’m reading an electronic edition unknown to Goodreads.

Mulroney also destroyed our railroad system.

The Canada Land Company was a nefarious organization that sold people insect infected swamp and rocky soil on which to farm.

My grandfather Wile received Fenian Money for promising to defend Canada.


Highways in Northern Alberta Peace River Country, BC, and the Yukon have been straightened and many paved and even double tracked. The ferries and ice road across the MacKenzie River have been replaced with a bridge. To continue along the stretch through the Yukon one is advised to use a rented vehicle.

Sports and commerce feature prominently in this detailed rendering. Since it was published Blacks is no longer Photography and The Bay went bankrupt.
