In this groundbreaking miscellany of facts and unsupported assertions, the authors use the format of a traditional almanac as a vehicle for their irreverent take on Canuck folk wisdom. From the habits of the Group of Sever (read "graffiti artists") to the plight of city slicker subsistence farmers (a.k.a. panhandlers and squeegee kids) to the latest fancy steps down at the square dance (er, rave), The Original Canadian City Dweller's Almanac provides readers with an insider's guide to Canadian urban life at the beginning of the 21st century.
In the Almanac, you'll find survival tips gleaned from frostbitten, transit-weary city dwellers across the nation; an urban zodiac with plenty of superfluous information; ruminations on such urban delicacies as bubble tea, bone-in goat roti and Italian ices; and handy tips on how to exit a poetry reading gracefully, where to get the best Chinese delivery on Christmas Eve, and what to do when a McDonald's, Starbucks or Home Depot threatens your neighbourhood.
