The U.S. of EH?: How Canada Secretly Controls the United States and Why That's OK

By Kerry Colburn and Rob Sorensen

Canadians are peaceable, friendly, unassuming, and adorable. They're also secretly in control of nearly every aspect of life in the Southernmost Canadian territory known as the United States. This hilarious illustrated compendium of real facts and wild assertions traces a vast, maple-leaf conspiracy that plays up Canada's self-effacing second fiddle image to the U.S. while it creates and clandestinely controls nearly everything Americans hold dear, from Superman to basketball to William Shatner to macaroni and cheese. With everyday life in the U.S. already as much as 70% Canadian, and our music, movies, and TV shows filled with subliminal pro-Canadian messages, the authors of So, You Want to Be Canadian reveal that in actuality, you already are.

Impressed

Received very quickly - especially considering that it was close to Christmas. Excellant condition, handled well, great price.

Very fun, slightly silly gift for your favorite Canadian.

Any Canadians who want to convince the world just how important Canada is and any Americans who want to help their favorite Canadians celebrate their country's unique contributions to the world: buy this book! You actually won't believe just how many "All American" things are, in fact, 100% Canadian! It is kind of a small, short book but makes a great birthday card or small gag gift.

Hilarious.

Thank god (and Canada) for Colburn and Sorensen. They crack me up everytime. I'm crossing my fingers that I don't need to move to Canada after this election, but if I do, at least I now know that they control everything anyway.

Who woulda thunk?

After reading this book I have a new awe of Canadians. They benevolently have their hands in every part of American society! Who knew that Clamato, The BlackBerry PDA, synchronized swimming and lightbulbs all hail from the Great White North? The book is humorous in how it puts forth the evidence of canuck domination. Peter Jennings, William Shatner and Tommy Chong---all Canadian. Dozens of films that we believe are filmed in the USA--- filmed in Canada. Is everything I know know now thrown into question? After reading this book I wonder if our upcoming election even matters, if Canada is running the place anyway...I'll still vote, just in case.

Hilarious and maybe true???

I just bought 2 copies of this book for some American friends who are moving to Canada. This is the PERFECT gift for any Canadians or Americans! Its packed with real facts about why Canada is behind everything American's think is great. If the Republicans take over the Oval Office again in 2009, I'm going to study this book so that I can move to Canada and pretend I'm one of 'em, eh?
