Thinking of visiting, or moving to Canada? Here's the ultimate guide! How to be a Canadian, by Will Ferguson & Ian Ferguson. The brothers have explained how to blend in during a visit or a move to, well, just about anywhere in Canada! There's a discussion over politics and sports, food and recreation, and, my favorite, language. (There's a blend of American-English, British-English, French ...) and an absolutely hysterical explanation of the use of "eh?" (yes, with the question mark, always).

I've mentioned before that I enjoy trivia books so there should be no surprise to find So You Think You Know Canada, Eh?, by Marianne Jennings in my blog. Full of fun and true facts it made for great reading during the ads on tv! The egg carton was first developed in Canada ... but not the Zamboni? That happened in California! Canadians eat more Kraft Dinner than anyone else, anywhere. In Churchill, Manitoba, where polar bears can be found walking down the street, residents leave cars unlocked to offer an escape! The instant replay, used so often in sports was first shown in 1955 during a hockey game in Canada. The green ink, used on American money, was invented by a Canadian. So much fun here!
