When I ordered it up, I didn't realize it was a satire. I thought it was a genuine statistics book from Statistics Canada. That said, it is of course full of fake stats about Canada, Canadians, and Canadiana. I skipped a lot of stuff that didn't interest me and scanned the rest. A few things were genuinely amusing but mostly it was rather lame. Incredibly, the authors did not even attempt to poke fun at a lot of obvious Canadian tropes. Sigh. It's the kind of book you'd find in the bathroom to pass the time. Nothing more.
