Humourist Ferguson takes readers on a series of journeys all over Canada, among them Victoria BC, Moose Jaw SK, Churchill MB, Thunder Bay ON, the Saguenay QC, Madawaska NB, and St. John''s NF. In search of the way to complete the statement Canada is..., Ferguson covers both historical and physical ground, presenting snapshots of our country''s many different cultures and some interesting autobiographical tidbits. Forget about finding the soul of Canada in the big cities: this book looks for -- and finds -- more in smaller, out-of-the-way areas. Laugh-out-loud funny at times, informative without being teachy, an altogether enjoyable read. Winner of the 2005 Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour, Ferguson''s second.
