Product DescriptionFormat: Trade PaperbackPublished: July 1, 2002 Publisher: Douglas & McIntyre Renown writer and artist Douglas Coupland''s valentine to Canada looks at how it feels to be a Canadian now and imagines what it might feel like to be a Canadian in the future. From collective memories, Coupland locates objects like stubbie beer bottles and ookpiks, Kraft dinner and maple walnut ice cream. With the same witty sensibility, he considers significant events and relevant issues, like Canada''s relationship with the United States, Medicare, and the landscape itself in this colourful, lively mix of image and text.
