I'm a little late to the party with this book, but better late than never. I love Rick Mercer's sarcastic, quick wit. I always feel like I'm sharing a private joke with him. If there is such a thing as "Canadian humour" - this is it. He focuses on our national flaws, finds the humour in it and somehow through it all, makes your feel so proud to be Canadian. ( ) I miss Rick Mercer. Canada needs Rick Mercer especially now. Fortunately Rick Mercer is still around doing the things he is good at; he's just not doing them weekly on CBC TV. Earlier this year he did a special rant about social distancing. I don't know if the people it was directed at took his advice but I, for one, felt better knowing Rick was on the job. Thanks Rick. And thanks for doing this audiobook which included lots of his rants from the 15 years of the Rick Mercer Report. It also included some snippets of personal information and made me realize more than I already did what a national treasure this guy is. He is so forthright about his sexuality which must help young people facing their own sexuality issues. And he's funny in that particular way that Canadians especially those from Newfoundland are famous for. A friend of mine thinks that Rick Mercer should be Prime Minister. Wouldn't that be great! A collection of Rick's rants from the Rick Mercer Report. I watched the show for most of its fifteen-year run so it was fun to revisit some of these rants. It's also entertaining to see the things that have changed and stayed the same in Canadian politics. For instance, that moment when I realized the current leader of the Conservatives used to be Speaker during the Harper years. Rick is a national treasure in my books and this book is a delight for those who feel the same. I love Rick Mercer, he makes me laugh and think! The material in this book is dated, and yet with another Harper election going on, still relevant! I was laughing to myself while reading this, but when I passed it on to my teen daughter (we live in the USA now) she didn't get most of the references.... geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
