Chicken Soup for the Canadian Soul: Stories to Inspire and Uplift the Hearts of Canadians (Chicken Soup for the Soul)

I was surprised that some of the stories in this book actually brought tears to my eyes. It really made me proud to be Canadian. I definitely recommend this book to other Canadians. It will uplift your heart and your spirit.

This book is a bit of home that is comforting in times of homesickness. Yet is still manages to emphasize the diversity of a great nation without seeming over patriotic. I good read for all Canadians whether at home or abroad. Also a good bit of insight for Americans to read to better understand their quitely proud neighbours to the north.

If you have ever in your life thought these words: "What is it to be Canadian?" Read this book. There are books about everything: freedom, hockey... just everything that it means to be Canadian. I even would go as far to say that for all those Americans out there, or any other country, that still think that Canadians live in igloos and drink beer, well maybe you should give this book a try so you don't look stupid when you actually meet a Canadian.

We live literally across the street from each other - Canadians and Americans. But Americans don't really know us. This book shows our big hearts, humor, valiant spirit, courage and creativity. Every American should read this book and learn just a little bit more about the people who use strange words like "eh" and "toque"! Come on up and visit - or better yet, read this book. The folks who were stranded in Gander, Newfoundland on September 11 will tell you that every word is the truth.
