Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw: Travels in Search of Canada

In this funny, idiosyncratic, and warmly humane travelogue, Canada's humorist Will Ferguson recounts his three years spent crisscrossing the country in search of its true identity. His travels take him from Cape Spear on the coast of Newfoundland to the sun-dappled streets of Olde Victoria, using various modes of transport, including a helicopter, a canoe with his son, seaplanes, and the Underground Railroad. Ferguson delves into Canada's history and landscape, exploring both far-flung isolated communities and urban centers, from the 'million-acre farm' of P.E.I. to the polar bear migration paths of Hudson Bay. Full of sly observations and witty stories, the book offers a provocative, personal, and insightful tribute to a quirky and fascinating country, challenging common myths about Canadians.
