Mike Myers, Canada, Messieurs Trudeau, Buffalo, The Pentaverate relevancy ...

[greyl]

Advice: Read or listen to Mike Myers' Canada before watching the Netflix series "The Pentaverate".
(Canada was published on October 26, 2016)

References and elucidations in his book give The Pentaverate series more sense.

I started reading this, expecting either a history book with some occasional injections of humour, or an autobiography with a splash of Canadian colour.

Instead, things I had known, and NOT known, about my country were woven into a tapestry with Mike Myers' experiences growing up and living in, then near but still loving Canada.

I laughed, learned and cried far more than I expected. I live in the neighborhood where Mr. Myers grew up, so know many of the places described, but you don't have to, because the flavor is expressed so beautifully.

This is a true tribute to Canada, and also a candid and enjoyable tale of the life of the author so far, a real Canadian treasure.

Note: Myers' Netflix series is not a video interpretation of his book at all.
It's wholly different, yet shares ingredients.
