Canadian BaconThis is a fairly silly movie that doesn't live up to its ambitions as satire or as a comment on dodgy political motives. The fun is meant to be at the expense of American-Canadian relations and the simpletons up north. Any halfway decent episode of Due South is sharper at that. The political thrust is the sad fact that going to war wins votes, and here it's the US President (Alda, since Fonda is dead) who needs popular support and chooses his neighbours as the fall guys. A seemingly somnambulant cast does little to help.
