What’s more Canadian than lyrics parodying an English woman playing as an Austrian singing in English?* If there is something more, we don’t want to know. Take a look a list some of our favourite Canadian things – and the CanLit books to match – just in time for Wednesday’s Canada Day celebration. *Christopher Plummer, duh. CanCon ACHIEVED. 
Collections of special Canuck crossword puzzles 
Fifteen sentient doggies with words on their muzzles
Canadian poets, just emerging
These are a few of our favourite things
The Park’s Mr. Lahey playing with concrete
Top local chefs making all of the best eats
A chronicle of headstone engravings
These are a few of our favourite things
 
Honouring voices of writers in exile
Editorial drawings commissioned with wile
These are a few of our favourite things
 
When the light lights 
When the posh lusts 
When we’re feeling sad
We simply remember our favourite things
And then we don’t feel so bad!
