Notes


Published in 1937, this volume records Leacock’s reflections while touring the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia on a speaking tour. Blending wit with informed commentary, he contrasts regional viewpoints, touches on current political and economic debates, and offers lively sketches of Western communities. Part travel impression and part social observation, the book showcases Leacock’s dual voice as economist and humorist and was recognized with a Governor General’s Award.
