Is there a Canadian sense of humour ? How can we write with more humour ? And what can humour writing teach us about ourselves ? These are questions explored in  What's So Funny ? Lessons from Canada's Leacock Medal for Humour , Ottawa writer Dick Bourgeois-Doyle's personal review of the sixty-seven books that have won our country's premier award for humour writing. Satirists and scholars laud the book as a fun and readable way to study writing technique and what it means to be Canadian.
