“…perfectly entertaining and sometimes hilarious...” -- Georgia Straight
“…an entertaining and frequently hilarious glimpse into Canadian life…For a look at common Canadians in the third millennium, Timbit Nation is hard to beat.” -- The Province (Vancouver)
“Stackhouse never pretends his conclusions stand up under close sociological or statistical scrutiny. Yet his between-standing-by-the-road-coping-with-bugs-wind-and-rain conversations with average Joes and Janes who picked him up yielded a fount of surprisingly incisive social and political commentary.... They lead him to divine a sea change in who we are and where we’re headed. And he’s pretty convincing.” -- Winnipeg Free Press
“…well-written with many precious tidbits of information…” -- The Edmonton Journal
“Timbit Nation is a rare gem of well-researched travel writing about Canada that explores each region of the country as Stackhouse passes through.” -- The Chronicle Herald (Halifax)
“It is impossible to write the definitive Canadian journey, but Stackhouse’s is one worth taking.” -- (Ottawa) Citizen’s Weekly
“Timbit Nation…is both candid and reassuring, and paints us as better, happier people than we may be giving ourselves credit for.” -- The Calgary Herald
Praise for Out of Poverty:
“Stackhouse is a great storyteller . . . with a sharp eye for detail and a light touch of humour.” -- The Globe and Mail
“Truly inspiring . . . Stackhouse has found the light at the end of the tunnel. In tiny villages he finds modest, homegrown solutions to problems that have baffled the planet’s most resourceful nations.” -- The Hamilton Spectator
