Happy Birthday, Will Ferguson! From hilariously dissecting Canadian quirks in "Why I Hate Canadians" to guiding us through history with wit and charm in "Canadian History for Dummies," you've kept readers laughing and learning. Your adventures chronicled in "Hitching Rides with Buddha" have inspired wanderlust—and perhaps a few questionable hitchhiking decisions.Yet, amidst all the humor, your literary brilliance shone brightest when you snagged the prestigious Giller Prize for your gripping novel "419." Who knew someone so adept at poking fun could also craft such compelling drama? Here's to another year of laughter, adventure, and award-winning storytelling—cheers!
