Is it true that a McGill University student killed famous escape artist Harry Houdini? Can a goalie take a face-off in a hockey game? What is Canada's most valuable coin? And what milestones have Canadian women reached in politics?
Canada is far from dull and this book proves it. Did you know, for instance, that the hold-up command "Hands up'' has Canadian origins? Or that a Canadian sang on the once-popular sitcom the Beverly Hillbillies? Why is Beatle Paul McCartney wearing an Ontario Provincial Police badge on his coat in a photograph on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album? And have Canadians ever been commemorated on American postage stamps?
The book is ideal for trivia buffs, teachers, sports fans, seniors, parents, children, or anyone who wants to know more about Canada. It also makes a great corporate gift for your customers or staff members.
