- The truth about luck : what I learned on my road trip with Grandma / by Reid, Iain,1981-;
In the Truth about luck, Iain Reid, author of the highly popular coming-of-age memoir One bird's choice, accompanies his grandmother on a five-day vacation--which turns out to be a "staycation" at his basement apartment in Kingston. While the twenty-eight-year-old writer is at the beginning of his adult life, his ninety-two-year-old grandmother is nearing the end of hers. Between escorting his grandma to local attractions and restaurants, the two exchange memories and she begins to reveal details of her inspiring life story. Told with subtlety, humour, and heart, this delightful comic memoir reflects on family connections; how we experience adversity, the passage of time, and aging; and most importantly what it truly means to feel lucky.- Subjects: Reid, Iain, 1981-; Grandparent and child.; Authors, Canadian (English); Canadian wit and humor (English);

- Rick Mercer final report / by Mercer, Rick,1969-author.;
"Canada's sharpest satirical commentator brings down the curtain on our most-watched comedy show. Rick Mercer can always be relied on to provoke a strong reaction--but what he said one fall day in 2017 truly shocked the nation. In a rant posted on social media, the great Canadian satirist announced loud and clear that the current, 15th season of the Rick Mercer Report--the nation's best-watched and best-loved comedy show--would be the last. After more than 250 episodes, 250 rants and countless miles spent travelling the length and breadth of Canada to do everything from bungee jumping with Rick Hansen to whale-watching with Measha Brueggergosman, it was time to move on. What he will do next is still unknown, and Canada eagerly awaits future developments. But meanwhile, we have this book to keep us going. The new volume collects together rants from the later years of RMR, right up to the final episode. It also includes highlights from throughout the entire run of RMR, including choice moments from Rick's travels and encounters, and the very best of the early rants. There will be photographs throughout. And in a brilliant bonus, Rick has written a touching and frequently hilarious memoir of what it has been like to helm the nation's favourite comedy show. (Spoiler alert: It was the best job in the world.)"--- Subjects: Mercer, Rick, 1969-; Rick Mercer report (Television program); Political satire, Canadian.; Canadian wit and humor (English);

- Canadianity : tales from the true north strong and freezing / by Taggart, Jeremy,author.; Torrens, Jonathan,1972-author.;
Sprung from their hugely successful podcast Canadianity, Taggart (that guy from that band) and Torrens (that guy from that show) share a collection of showbiz tales from the road and relatable everyday anecdotes, all wrapped up in a nostalgic fondness for this great country. Canadianity takes readers on a cross-country journey, shining the spotlight on notable local heroes (or bahds), the best places to crush food and the greasiest watering holes, coast to coast to coast. Replete with lists of Canada's top bands, television shows and athletes, as well as random observations about everything this country has to offer, Canadianity is often provocative and always hilarious. Drawing on their combined experiences as a legendary drummer (Our Lady Peace) and a veteran talk-show host (Jonovision) respectively, Taggart and Torrens have infused their first book with equal parts beer and pop culture and added a heaping helping of irreverence.- Subjects: Anecdotes.; Taggart, Jeremy.; Torrens, Jonathan, 1972-; Canadians; Canadian wit and humor (English); National characteristics, Canadian.;
