I was happy to help out a Canadian author when I was approached to take a look at a new book called “Hey Canada!”, which is written by Vivien Bowers & illustrated by Milan Pavlovic. Here’s a brief overview of Hey Canada! from GoodReads: “Gran has decided that she is taking nine-year-old Alice and eight-year-old […]
If you’ve been following this blog from the beginning, you’ll know how excited I am about the upcoming Spider-Man movie! I was going to do a post about my excitement anyway, so I figured why not try and put together a giveaway as well for all my beautiful and handsome readers! PS – That’s you! […]
I’ve decided to try yet another new feature on the site. The best thing about this being my site, is that I can try as many new things as I want without having to ask permission! In case you didn’t know already (I guess you probably wouldn’t know unless you knew me personally, because I […]
I was fortunate enough to find my way to a screening of Disney/Pixar’s new movie “Brave” in 3D. I had seen about a thousand clips of it with my kids but had no idea what we were in store for as the movie began. Let’s start with the actual trip to the theater. I went […]

It’s finally here! The day us Dads wait for all year long! On behalf of all of us here at Canadian Dad (really, it’s just me) I’d like to wish all the wonderful Dads out there a very Happy Father’s Day! That’s all. What? You didn’t think I was gonna write some long winded post […]
Last week I was able to bring you a great giveaway of a copy of the new Phineas & Ferb DVD “The Perry Files”. Now that I’ve had a chance to watch it, I thought I’d share my thoughts about it. In short, the whole family loved it! I spent 5 days telling my son […]
No. I didn’t start a job with Pez. I can’t imagine a world where I would be lucky enough to work in a Pez Factory. My daughter has recently begun Potty Training and as most parents will attest, the best way to keep them interested in this monumental event, is with incentives. My son, who […]
