Synopsis

"Funny, short snippets of Canadiana wrung through the hilariously encyclopedic mind of Charlie Demers--so good."--Ins Choi, creator of Kim's Convenience

A laugh-out-loud funny guide to how to talk, live, and feel like a Canadian--from CBC "The Debaters" fan-favourite and celebrated Canadian comedian, Charles "Charlie" Demers.

Oh, sorry! Did we bump into you there? Welcome to The Eh Team, the ultimate guide to the quirks, charm, and outright hilarity of the Canadian lexicon. This quirky and proudly patriotic book is your backstage pass to the words, phrases, and expressions that make Canada the Great White North. From "double-double" to "pencil crayons," from "Nanaimo bars" to "toque," The Eh Team reveals the unique language and culture that define life above the 49th parallel.

Whether you're a lifelong Canuck or just visiting for the poutine, The Eh Team will have you chuckling, nodding in recognition, and maybe even saying, "Give'r, eh!" With every turn of the page, you'll uncover the delightful ways Canadians express themselves, their love of the land, and their famously polite (but fiercely proud) spirit.

The Eh Team is more than just a book--it's a celebration of what it means to be unapologetically Canadian. So grab your toque, pour yourself a Caesar, and settle in for a fun, feel-good read that will have you embracing your inner Canuck like never before.
