Familiar Phrases [Large Print]

By Jacqueline Cooper

Canadians have a way of talking that just feels right and is warm, familiar, and full of character. Whether it's a quick "sorry" in a doorway or a regional gem heard at the rink, the cabin, or over coffee, these expressions are stitched into daily life across the country.

Familiar Phrases rounds up some of Canada's most beloved words and sayings, where they come from, when you'll hear them, and why they still matter. It's a friendly guide to the everyday language that connects neighbours, fuels small talk, and adds a little maple-flavoured magic to ordinary moments.

Filled with light, playful explanations and simple illustrations, this book captures the fun of talking like a Canadian all without needing to say "eh?" every five seconds.

Part of the Eh, Canada? series, it's perfect for trivia lovers, curious newcomers, and anyone who appreciates the small, cultural quirks that bring a country to life.

So open it up, flip a few pages, and see how a nation's spirit lives in the words we use every day. You might even find yourself saying 'give'r' unironically.

This Large Print edition makes Canada's quirkiest phrases easier to read, no squinting required.
