"How to Be a Canadian" provides a hilarious insider's look at Canada, covering subjects as diverse as diet, sex, dating rituals, sports, politics and social rules.

The award-winning Ferguson brothers are, hands down, the funniest siblings in the country. Loaded with wry advice and barbed commentary, their book will teach you everything you need to know about how Canadians really act-whether you already are one or not.

Will Ferguson has written nine books-including the international bestsellers Happiness and Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw. In 2002, two of Ferguson's books were shortlisted for the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour: How to Be a Canadian and HappinessTM (aka "Generica")--the first time in the history of the award that an author had been nominated twice in the same year. (HappinessTM went on to win and has since been published in 26 languages.) In 2005, Ferguson won his second Leacock Award for Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw. The same year, he was awarded the Pierre Berton Award by Canada's National History Society.

Ferguson has lived in many parts of Canada, and his knowledge of Canadian nationalism comes from the trenches. During the 1980s, he participated in three misguided projects dedicated to fostering the Canadian spirit: Canada World Youth, Katimavik and Project Megapôle. He currently lives in Calgary with his wife and their two sons.

With his brother Will, he is co-author of the runaway best-seller How to Be a Canadian.
