It's a movie, had to do with tossing you Northerners off list. Here's a
review:
In Michael Moore's political satire, the U.S. President (Alan Alda) decides
to wage a Cold War against Canada in an attempt to reverse his slipping
popularity, and, as a result, he drives a small group of incensed Canadians
to take matters into their own hands. Alda is the first president in years
not to lead his country into war, which naturally means that his approval
rating is dangerously low. The sure-fire way to boost his popularity is to
start a war and demonstrate American superiority. Unfortunately, as his
advisors point out, the U.S. has run out of enemies. That is, until Alda's
National Security Advisor Stuart Smiley (Kevin Pollak) happens to catch a
segment on the news about a brawl at a Canadian hockey game that began when
local American sheriff Bud Boomer (John Candy) made a remark about Canadian
beer. This incident give Smiley the notion to make the public believe that
Canada is their new enemy. Determined to demonstrate the mighty power of
America to the Canadians, Boomer gets a group of equally angry fellow
Americans together to cross the border and perform the most serious of all
Canadian crimes -- littering. However, the invasion is foiled and Boomer's
numerous blunders threaten to turn a fabricated war into a real one.
Written, directed, and produced by Michael Moore, best known for Roger and
Me (1989), his scathing documentary on General Motors, Canadian Bacon takes
lighthearted jabs at the differences between the U.S. and Canada, while also
satirizing America's obsession with its military strength.
