This book was not what I was expecting.
I thought this book felt like it was written by someone who read about Canada, or researched Canada, and bought into many of the Canadian stereotypes ... and then put it in a book.
While at times funny, and nostalgic it kind of missed the mark.

An interesting perspective and take at Canadian history, breaking into comedy/show biz, the feel about being famous and in hindsight an interesting political view….. not a book I would recommend but also not a bad read either just mediocre

I recently spotted Mike Myers on SNL wearing a "Canada is not for sale" T-shirt, and it inspired me to pick up this book.
It was a fun listen, especially since Myers uses his extensive skill with accents to do all the accents in the book. It was also fun to ask my husband, who also grew up in the Toronto area at the same time, about some of the stuff Myers remembered from his childhood.
It kinda peters out after his time on SNL though. I wonder how he would finish it now, since he was so hopeful at the start of Justin Trudeau's government.
