Comedy superstar Mike Myers writes from the (true patriot) heart about his 53-year relationship with his beloved Canada. Mike Myers is a world-renowned actor, director and writer and the man behind some of the most memorable comic characters of our time. But, as he says, "No description of me is truly complete without saying I'm a Canadian". He has often winked and nodded to Canada in his outrageously accomplished body of work, but now he turns the spotlight full-beam on his homeland.

His hilarious and heartfelt new book is part memoir, part history, and pure entertainment. It is Mike Myers' funny and thoughtful analysis of what makes Canada Canada and Canadians Canadians and what being Canadian has always meant to him. His relationship with his home and native land continues to deepen and grow, he says. In fact American friends have actually accused him of enjoying being Canadian - and he's happy to plead guilty as charged.

A true patriot who happens to be an expatriate, Myers is in a unique position to explore Canada from within and without. With this, his first book, Mike brings his love for Canada to the fore at a time when the country is once again looking ahead with hope and national pride. Canada is a wholly subjective account of Mike's Canadian experience. Mike writes, "Some might say, 'Why didn't you include this or that?' I say there are 35 million stories waiting to be told in this country, and my book is only one of them."

A great tribute to Canada and Canadians. It is also very informative for non Canadians. A must read.

Thank you Mike!

I enjoyed a lot, hearing about him growing up in the generation before my own and hearing about how Toronto was as Canada was picking itself up. Mike has a very very obvious bias toward the Liberal party (because it assisted artists like himself, something the average tax payer didn't benefit from.) Mike spoke way too much on Canada after he moved, as if he understood enough of what happened in his absence after moving.

Loved the first three quarters

Mike's a funny guy. He combines his extreme love of Canada with his life growing up in the big city His efforts to become a great comedian and the trials and tribulations that he has encountered on his road to success. Even though he now resides in the states, he has never forgotten his roots and above all, what it means to be a Canadian and the pride that he has for his native country.

Lots of Perspective on Being a Canadian

A funny and informative read about Canada as well as Myers' career and how Canada helped shape it. Being around a similar age to him, I was reminded of growing up at a great time in history when Canada had a much stronger national identity within its borders than it does now. It made me both nostalgic and hopeful. Canada is an amazing country and Myers tells you why. I would say that 5 hours wasn't long enough but that's only because I was enjoying it so much.

Was a little to politically preachy. I did like his story and he tells it well.
