Explaining Canada: a Primer for Yanks Ken Stange 1st edition

This is a humorous and satirical contemporary guide to Canada intended for both American and Canadian readership. It deals with the cultural differences between Canada and America, including the arts, politics, ethnicity, and attitudes. Of course nobody can really explain Canada. Americans might find some of the remarks about their country?s idiosyncrasies annoying, just as Canadians might object to the description of Canada?s quirks. The author justifies his perspective on the basis of having spent the first several decades of his life in The States and the remaining decades north of the border. His insights into the notable differences between these countries are only possible for an immigrant.
