Publisher's Summary

Sprung from their hugely successful podcast Canadianity, Taggart (that guy from that band) and Torrens (that guy from that show) share a collection of showbiz tales from the road and relatable everyday anecdotes, all wrapped up in a nostalgic fondness for this great country. Canadianity takes listeners on a cross-country journey, shining the spotlight on notable local heroes (or bahds), the best places to crush food and the greasiest watering holes, coast to coast to coast.

Replete with lists of Canada's top bands, television shows and athletes as well as random observations about everything this country has to offer, Canadianity is often provocative and always hilarious. Drawing on their combined experiences as a legendary drummer (Our Lady Peace) and a veteran talk-show host (Jonovision) respectively, Taggart and Torrens have infused their first book with equal parts beer and pop culture and added a heaping helping of irreverence.

True talented Canadians!

The two talks a little about their lives, and their views on Canada. They are hilarious and witty as they gave their testimonies in certain parts. I’ve not finished listening, but I will definitely listen to this audible book again! A must listen!

OK

A little juvenile in a McKenxie Brothers sort of way. If that is what you are in the mood for worth it

its so so

I found about half of this book really good. I enjoyed the origin stories of Taggart and Torrens. and a lot of their stories about each province. two things stood out to me that were exceptionally bad 1- the lists of things...."is this lake name real" etc...plays terrible in an audible format. the answer is 1,4,7,19,33 are fake....how the hell am i to remember those....2- the total number of edit errors...massive...probably close to 20. mostly in the 2nd 1/2 of the book ... start a sentence......pause....change inflection....restart... I know this isn't the readers fault it's the editor who should have gone in and removed the original part. they didnt. if you ignore that and skip over the lists its a good time killer.

Never been prouder to be Canadian

This book was phenomenal!! I love Canada and am so proud of my country and to read this book which portrayed what is truly is to be Canadian was heart warming. It is so relatable and is so nostalgic to what my childhood was in Canada. A must read for all.

Proud to be Canadian

I laughed, I cried, I revisited names from my youth. Loved this narration. I think this book is so much better in the spoken word

Seems focused on fans of the podcast

Taggart and Torrens have a podcast called Canadianity and this book is essentially a companion piece to the podcast. They dedicate a chapter per province and go all across Canada with personal anecdotes, bar and restaurant recommendations, and other highlights. They also cover a lot of nostalgia that Canadians of a certain age (probably 30s and over) will appreciate - from Heritage Moments to the Friendly Giant and Mr Dressup. It's amusing but seemed aimed at fans of the podcast or the authors and not so much for a broader audience. Maybe as a bathroom book to flip through the anecdotes, but it's really more a set of sketches and lists than a coherent book. Will Ferguson probably did the "who are Canadians" type humour book better with "Why I Hate Canadians".
