- Summary:
- "Known for his sharp-witted skits on CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Mark Critch uses his keen observational skills to explore the complexities of Canadian identity and the new wave of Canadian patriotism. In Sorry, Not Sorry, Critch delves into the heart of what it means to be Canadian at a time when national pride is on the rise. Examining everything from the historical decision of Newfoundland to join Canada, to the modern-day implications of the Freedom Convoy, and the evolving symbolism of the Canadian flag, he reminds us of where we came from, and of the many reasons Canada is worth fighting for--elbows up! In chapters like "The 51st State," "I Want My Flag Back," and "The Invasion," Critch uses humour and satire to tackle serious questions about national identity, unity, and the future of Canada. He also offers a unique perspective on the country's relationship with the monarchy, the cultural impact of Canadian celebrities living abroad, and the hypothetical scenarios of provincial separations. Sorry, Not Sorry is more than just a comedic take on Canadian life; it's a deeply personal and insightful look at the free country Critch has spent decades satirizing. Whether he's writing as a war correspondent in a fictional American invasion or penning a love letter to Canada in the voice of Donald Trump, Critch's essays are sure to entertain, provoke thought, and stir a sense of pride in readers.
