Missing some mentionsNo mention of Rush or SCTV， or Corner Gas。。。。really！ Otherwise a good read， makes you want to know more。 Chili Dogs

Vaimukas， informatiivne ja aus。 Keegi võiks Eestist ka sellise kirjutada。 :）

Maybe not enough about Tim Horton's but a lot of questions answered。。。。 I went to Canada twice in two years and have several friends there who are snowbirds。 Lovely places， lovely people， great government and benefits， but they don't want me。 Really fun read。 Maybe not enough about Tim Horton's but a lot of questions answered。。。。 I went to Canada twice in two years and have several friends there who are snowbirds。 Lovely places， lovely people， great government and benefits， but they don't want me。 Really fun read。 。。。more

Entertaining and funny。 Enjoyed her writing and agreed with most of experiences。 I think it is a good read for those thinking about moving to Canada， but it is not a precise and detailed guide。 It helps to understand the culture and some social rules。

Rebecca ，

Great starter book for a Canadian learning journey。 Will definitely seek out the recommendations that were throughout the book。

This book best suits those who have newly 'moved' to Canada， instead of those who 'want to move' to Canada。 There are some pretty useful stuff in there， from history to local dishes。 But most of it， is too much to remember。 You can use it as a guide once you're there！ This book best suits those who have newly 'moved' to Canada， instead of those who 'want to move' to Canada。 There are some pretty useful stuff in there， from history to local dishes。 But most of it， is too much to remember。 You can use it as a guide once you're there！ 。。。more

The Canada book was fantastic。 She lives in Brooklyn， now， （of course）， but grew up in Ontario。 Lots of music and tv show recommendations。 She missed on her rec for an Alberta based show by ignoring Heartland - probably because she thinks she's too cool for it - but was correct in pointing at Kim's Convenience for a Toronto show。 The book was heavier on the Maritimes then I was expecting， which was a pleasant surprise。 Big takeaway: look up Heritage Minutes on YouTube。 These are minute long cult The Canada book was fantastic。 She lives in Brooklyn， now， （of course）， but grew up in Ontario。 Lots of music and tv show recommendations。 She missed on her rec for an Alberta based show by ignoring Heartland - probably because she thinks she's too cool for it - but was correct in pointing at Kim's Convenience for a Toronto show。 The book was heavier on the Maritimes then I was expecting， which was a pleasant surprise。 Big takeaway: look up Heritage Minutes on YouTube。 These are minute long cultural history lessons that have been airing since the early nineties。 They are fantastic。 。。。more

A wholesome guide to the Great White North， eh？

This book has wonderful information about Canada and really cute drawings。 I admit that I didn't get very far into it due to time constraints （checked out the e book from the library）， but because I often dream about moving to Canada， I found this book to be helpful。 I'm definitely going to read it again in the future。 This book has wonderful information about Canada and really cute drawings。 I admit that I didn't get very far into it due to time constraints （checked out the e book from the library）， but because I often dream about moving to Canada， I found this book to be helpful。 I'm definitely going to read it again in the future。 。。。more

Donna ，

Charles ，

Mostly for Canadians， but a must before visiting the Great White North。

Sara ，

lol 18 months here and happy to say I knew more than 80% of the stuff in the book

Sam S ，

Cute and informative。 Though practical for Americans， I think this was really written for Canadians to amuse themselves and read all the good parts about the country。 Would recommend。

Glory ，

A super fun and actually quite informative book about all the things you should know for a socially functional and culturally aware stay in Canada。 Super funny and simple to understand。 Makes me wish I could go to Dean Deblois' alma mater Sheridan College。 Go Canada！ 🍁 A super fun and actually quite informative book about all the things you should know for a socially functional and culturally aware stay in Canada。 Super funny and simple to understand。 Makes me wish I could go to Dean Deblois' alma mater Sheridan College。 Go Canada！ 🍁 。。。more

Was there ever a better day to power through this little book of wonders？ Perhaps one of the quickest and most comprehensive guides about Canada， it definitely did what it intended to do: now I want to visit Canada more than ever。 One thing I will say made this book AMAZING was how it actively acknowledged that Canada is far from a perfect country and has a long and shameful history of treating not only its indigenous people like crap， but how xenophobic it was towards Canadians of colour- parti Was there ever a better day to power through this little book of wonders？ Perhaps one of the quickest and most comprehensive guides about Canada， it definitely did what it intended to do: now I want to visit Canada more than ever。 One thing I will say made this book AMAZING was how it actively acknowledged that Canada is far from a perfect country and has a long and shameful history of treating not only its indigenous people like crap， but how xenophobic it was towards Canadians of colour- particularly Asian and African Canadians。 McCartney digs deep to give you media recommendations， food choices， tourist attractions and more that reflect the diverse makeup of modern day Canada and to acknowledge the contributions of all cultures and peoples towards how the country looks today。 The perfect handy guide before you head out on your next trip- whether you know nothing or you know absolutely everything。 It's not just for the Americans， either！ 。。。more
