Hey America, We're Here, CANADA Dr Lew Deitch

This is a revised edition of my popular book introducing Canada to American audiences. In this new issue, I have used a lot more tongue in cheek examples of the differences between Canada and its large neighbor to the south. We tend to somehow be forgotten, especially by the American news media while so much attention is focused south of the American border. Yet Canada is your largest trading partner, your most major continental ally when it comes to security and it is a country that has stood by the United States in many global conflicts and will in the future. We are a powerful nation in our own right; a charter member of the United Nations and NATO as well as a prominent member of the Organization of American States. And Canada is an important member of the G-7. Economically we are closely tied to the United States and both our economies intertwine in so many ways. But if you ask the average American a geographic or historic question about Canada or even about a current event, most will be unable to answer. Just ask yourself when was the last time an American news broadcast had something to say about Canada. This book is your primer on everything Canadian from the serious to the ordinary. You will find humor and fact blended together in a very readable manner, bringing Canada to you in a way you have never experienced.
