Description
Was it good for you? It was really good for Aislin!
Montreal's infrastructure is crumbling at a faster rate than any city in North America — and there lurks Aislin amongst the thousands of orange construction cones, sketchbook in hand. And bully Stephen Harper finally has his majority, an event that Aislin will be caricaturing keenly, even after over forty years of watching Canadian Prime Ministers come and go. And then there are those rare quiet days in Canada when Aislin has a world full of events beyond our borders to draw upon. Was it Good For You? Is a collection of Aislin's favourites drawn over the last three years. It is his 45th book. He is aiming for fifty.

Editorial Reviews
"The name Aislin is derived from a Gaelic word meaning 'dream', but to many of the more dubious members of Canada's political class, Aislin is something more of a nightmare. It's a name that has become synonymous with biting political satire and razor-sharp wit. But more importantly he is Canada's most celebrated shit disturber. I admire that more than you can imagine." -- Rick Mercer
