Oh, Canada. Americans are obsessed with our polite, peaceful, northern neighbors, and Canadian celebrities like Drake, Justin (both Trudeau and Bieber), Ryan Gosling, The Weeknd, and Rachel McAdams. The fantasy of moving to Canada, ‘America 2.0’, has permeated our culture and media to the point where Canada’s immigration website crashed on election night.
But as the unpronounceable sesquicentennial (150th anniversary) of our favorite country approaches, we Americans must ask ourselves: what do we really know about it? Award-winning journalist Jesse Brown, host of the #1 ranked Canadian podcast CANADALAND, would like to tell you. Filled with infographics, little known facts, and merciless commentary, The Canadaland Guide to Canada (published in America) by Jesse Brown, with Vicky Mochama and Nick Zarzycki is a hilarious guide to the real Canada, eh.
What ‘sorry’ actually means
Where to go when visiting top cities like Montreal, Ottawa, and Vancouver
The rich history of the people who moved there (tricked) and the men who founded it (drunk)
