Summary: common sense will tell you
Comment: I live in Maine and am somewhat familar with the Canadian culture...perhaps this is why I gave this book such a poor rating. But I found it to be so general in its information that I too wonder just what audience this book is written for? Most of the content seemed just common sense to me and if your from the northeast then a basic sense of climate and its effects can guide you. I had hoped it would have delved greater into the social/family culture and more on their views of American or contrasts of other cultures than the brief page it offered. I will however now subscribe to Macleans magazine, the Canadian equivalent of the Times or Newsweek here in the states, and also the national newspaper from Toronto, The Globe and Mail, to further my knowledge of this great neighbor to the north.

Summary: Very helpful
Comment: I was in the process of immigrating to Canada and this book was among the two most helpful ones. The other one was "Live and Work in USA and Canada". After reading them I had a pretty good idea what Canadian culture is like - things that you won't normally see on CNN. Both books are highly recommended.

Summary: Culture Shock!: Canada misleading & creates stereotypes!
Comment: I ordered this book because my husband & I are soon moving to Canada. He is Canadian & we have been married 2 years, the same amount of time he has been living here in the U.S. We are in the middle of my immigration to Canada process and I wanted a quick history of & info about what will be my new country. I have visited Canada & since I am married to a Canadian I know that the tone of this book is quite misleading. I'm not sure what countries it's aimed at, but I know it cannot be the U.S.! The authors make it sound like Canada is a backward country full of bingo players who stay home all winter long! It's become a humourous book to me, even the words they say are "Canadian", such as "tad".....my family has used this word since I can remember & so do many others around here (maybe Oregon is too close to Canada?). Read this book with a grain of salt, IF you must read it.....I don't recommend it as much of a correct vision of Canada and Canadians.
