Canook Lit

Give me your best Canadian books. Prefer quality fiction but I'll take whatever you got. Also anything interesting you have to say on Canadian art and its relationship to politics, the world, Western culture, etc..

>quality Canadian fiction
Doesn't exist. Canucks are good at music and have about half a dozen good films. That's it.

Wtf is a hoser.

I’m almost finished with “Il n’y a pas de pay sans grand-père” by Roch Carrier right now. It’s deeply entrenched in Québécois history and politics, and the storytelling is pretty compelling. If you read French, I would recommend it. Not sure if it’s been translated.

*pays

Putain cet autocorrect anglophone

If it's Canadian it's almost certainly translated

Okay. But it does. Too bad for you in who knows where.

Basically a redneck, but polite because Canadian.
Trailer Park Boys are the current standard, but Strange Brew was the original meme.
