Well, almost 400 pages of jokes, and some of them were actually legitimately funny.
- lots of puns and word play
- SOOOOO many hockey jokes. For someone who doesn't watch a lot of hockey, they were mostly incomprehensible.
- a surprising number of "scary" jokes about zombies, ghouls, ghosts, monsters, etc. It made sense in the halloween section, but they kept cropping up elsewhere. Rather unpleasant.
- A few were pretty "typical" joke formulas and puns just changed for a Canadian setting, a few were normal Canadian puns/jokes that I've heard before, but the majority were new for me, which was fun.
Overall, the jokes were nothing special other than being Canadian, but they were simple, largely enjoyable, and mostly appropriate for children (as long as they can handle a LOT of jokes about monsters).
Some examples (that I enjoyed).
"Teacher: How do you spell Saskatchewan?
Student: The province or the river?"
(lol, as a Saskatchewanian I appreciate that).
"How does a Mountie stay in the saddle?
With maple stirrups."
"What do you get when you cross a lake with a leaky boat?
About halfway, if you’re lucky!"
"Why do seagulls live near the sea?
If they lived near the bay, they’d be bagels."
"What is ploughed by never planted?
Snow."
"Why did the Canucklehead stop ice fishing?
The Zamboni was coming."
"When is a canoe like a heap of snow?
When it’s adrift."

Why does this feel like it was written by americans for Canadians. It doesn't feel Canadian. It's mostly a collection of lame puns. It was just not funny. It might be better for an audience with a single digit age. It reminds me of so many nudist jokes I've read that were created by somebody who has no idea of what it means to be a nudist. There is nothing Canadian here other than Hockey, snow and place names.
