Well I finished reading his book among many others but his deserves some attention. I started watching his rants which I didn't really consider rants, probably in his last year, of the Rick Mercer Report. He seemed to travel across Canada and highlight some points of interest. But, there was much about him that is revealed in the book, the person. I had no idea he was supportive of the military and bashed politicians for neglecting them so. He reported how the conservative party (Harper) went to court in a fight with Canadian Veterans. I remember that time and was disgusted. I won't go into details because it may be worth reading the book for you. Rick Mercer also reveals interesting news about Air Canada being stingy. The whole world knows that now, don't they? It is shameful that people couldn't even afford to buy food and rent without being able to live above povery. I don't fly but if I ever have to .....(well, I won't). I also think it is cute when he states, "Sure, the Charter looks nice hanging on a wall, but the fact is, it grants far too many rights that are contrary to the deeply held personal views of many chubby white guys." - so cute. Well, if you like rants and many do nowadays, this book is worth a read and if Rick Mercer runs for politics, I will vote for him. Why not? We need fresh blood.
