Jogfree of Canda remains as unique and jocular as it did when it was first presented in 1974. A companion piece to his first book, Histry of Canada, the text within Jogfree is even more sporadic and phonetic than its precursor because the book was alleged to have been "ritten" by Charlie Farquharson himself, and not dictated to Valeeda Drain Farquharson, "the wife an' former sweethart," who was to have typed the first book.

The book is fully illustrated, with amusing captions beneath each erroneous "fotygraft" atributed to a specific place, person, or event (the image of the "Shat-ola Comb Hotel" in Alberta is, in fact, a still of The Leaning Tower of Pisa, for instance), and comes with rampant punnery in place of geographically-accurate maps of each Canadian province, U.S. State, or international country.
