Me Too continues the misadventures of Bartholomew Bandy as he returns to his Ottawa Valley home in 1923 after his post-war movie exploits in New York.

Through a spectacular mix of confusion and bad luck, Bandy is pushed forward as the official Liberal candidate in a federal by-election. To the dismay of party leaders—and especially Prime Minister Mackenzie King—he actually wins, takes his seat in the House of Commons, and unleashes chaos on Parliament.

To fund his campaign, Bandy strikes a deal with a local tycoon to smuggle liquor into Prohibition-era United States. The scheme is lucrative until American authorities get involved, bringing gunfire, injuries, and international complications. Ironically, his shady experience turns him into an unlikely expert on political corruption, propelling him into Mackenzie King’s Cabinet as Minister of Defence.

Blending sharp political satire, farce, and Canadian history, this novel follows Bandy as he stumbles through backroom deals, cabinet intrigue, and cross-border crime. Fans of comic historical fiction and humorous takes on 1920s Canadian politics will find plenty to enjoy.

  • Comic novel set in 1920s Ottawa Valley and Parliament
  • Features bootlegging, by-elections, and cabinet shuffles
  • Ideal for readers of satirical and historical Canadian fiction
