Description
Canada is repeatedly ranked the world's most favourite tourist destination. And there's a lot of reasons why. It is a nation of vast, unspoiled wilderness, and yet you still get the feeling everyone still knows each other's name. It has a ton of bears. And maple syrup. And lakes. Great lakes, the best. And a handsome, competent Prime Minister.
The Little Book of Canada is a compact companion stuffed to the Gills (a common Canadian surname, FYI) with so much fun stuff you'll pass your citizenship test with flying colours. This tiny tome celebrates almost everything that is unique, special, and 'nice' about Canada because, quite frankly, Canada deserves it more than any other place on earth.
'I believe the world needs more Canada.'
Bono
'Canada is the essence of not being. Not English, not American, it is the mathematics of not being.'
Mike Myers
