That Dammed Beaver

That Dammed Beaver: Canadian Humour, Laughs and Gaffs is an excellent contemporary collection that explores how humour is at the core of Canadian identity – our greatest joy found in poking fun at our own stereotypes with irony, parody, and satire. What a nation finds funny, and how it embraces humour, is key to what makes a nation great. And we are a great nation!
