The U.S. of EH?: How Canada Secretly Controls the United States and Why That's OK

“Uncovers evidence of covert Canadian usurpation . . .Thankfully, Colburn has some tips on identifying these stealthy yet tidy marauders in our midst.” —Seattle Weekly

Canadians are peaceable, friendly, unassuming, and adorable. They’re also secretly in control of nearly every aspect of life in the Southernmost Canadian territory known as the United States.

This hilarious illustrated compendium of real facts and wild assertions traces a vast, maple-leaf conspiracy that plays up Canada’s self-effacing second fiddle image to the U.S. while it creates and clandestinely controls nearly everything Americans hold dear, from Superman to basketball to William Shatner to macaroni and cheese.

With everyday life in the U.S. already as much as 70% Canadian, and our music, movies, and TV shows filled with subliminal pro-Canadian messages, the authors of So, You Want to Be Canadian reveal that in actuality, you already are.

“The premise is that Canadians have gotten their overly polite (and no doubt well groomed) mitts on everything. The U.S. of Eh? includes lists of many Canadian things—hotties, music, actors, inventions—as well as lots of general silliness about the ‘maple leaf conspiracy.’” —January Magazine
