That’s Very Canadian!
Getting an MB, eh
The character of Rachel, who popped up in Wow Canada! and Only in Canada!, and her cohort, Nelson writer Vivien Bowers, have joined flag-waving hands again for That's Very Canadian! (Maple Tree, $19.95), presented as "An Exceptionally Interesting Report About All Things Canadian."; We learn that MB, for instance, once stood for Made Beaver, meaning one good-quality, adult beaver belt and that a Hudson's Bay blanket, woven with four black bars, was worth 4MB. No mention, though, of HBC Reward Points. 1-897066-05-8
