Brash, shrewd and refreshingly original, Why I Hate Canadians launched Will Ferguson’s career. Since its publication in 1997, this bitingly satirical look at our national delusions has sold more than 50,000 copies and generated widespread debate. This 10th-anniversary edition, revised and with a new introduction by the author, will bring the book to a whole new generation of readers.

Ferguson challenges the notion that Canadians are “nice” and poses a cheeky question: Do we as Canadians deserve a country so great? Tackling subjects ranging from Canada’s favourite in-bred royals to the mighty beaver as national icon, Ferguson rampages across the cultural landscape. He also provides a fast-paced, opinionated overview of telling moments in Canadian history.
