Chasing the Chinook: On the Trail of Canadian Words and Culture mystery and you will do thisMost of us speak Canadian we just don't know it. Every time we drive (or curse) a Ski Doo, or wonder what happened to cabooses, or eat tourtiere, or play shinny, we are participating in Canadian culture, and every time we use those words we are speaking Canadian. In this witty book of essays, Wayne Grady explores Canadian culture as expressed by the words we use to describe our inventions and innovations, our food drink, even our flora and fauna.
