I’m no fan of Michael Moore’s politics or his propaganda films sold as “documentaries,” but there is one entry on his résumé that I thoroughly enjoy: Canadian Bacon, featuring the great John Candy in his final film. Moore wrote and directed this comedic gem about an American president starting a war with Canada in order to gain traction in the polls. Candy, one of Canada’s most beloved entertainers, plays a hilariously anti-Canadian American sheriff who is thrilled about taking up arms against our northern neighbors. The whole thing is top-notch farce earning a funny disclaimer in the final credits: “No Canadians were harmed during this production.” Strangely, it’s Moore’s only non-documentary effort in three decades.
Or maybe it was one of Moore’s first documentaries, and he just didn’t know it. I say this because Canada’s Chrystia Freeland (one of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum clones and the granddaughter of an actual Ukrainian Nazi) promised this week that she will enter into a military alliance against the United States should she become the next prime minister. It’s always loony-leftist women with “crazy eyes” who threaten nuclear war over hurt feelings -- the same loony-leftist women who pretend that all war would magically disappear if only women (but, egad, what’s a woman?) ruled the planet.
Freeland’s warmongering rhetoric against President Trump and the U.S. is no surprise. She’s simply channeling the primal screams of Canadian Karens everywhere who really don’t like that Trump continues to offer the people of Canada an escape hatch from the Trudeau family’s Marxist destruction: becoming America’s 51st state. The rest of the world would kill for the opportunity to join Team U.S.A., but so many of the loony-leftists who live inside America’s hat have mistaken American protection for Canadian power that America’s goofy little brother

Trading Justin Trudeau in on that screeching harpie Chrystia Freeland does not look like a good move.
I can’t disagree.
Save me! Send the marines!
I will gladly take non Vancouver BC, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Maybe Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
Ontario? Quebec? The Maritimes? HELL FREAKING NO! DO NOT WANT. In fact, in exchange for the non communist parts of Canada (which happen to have all the resources) I’m quite willing to give them New England. Both sides will be much happier.
Wasn't Eastward, Ho! Candy's last motion picture?

I must confess that this is one of the few points where I must differ with President Trump; Canada should be, at most, allowed the status of an "Unincorporate Territory," similar to the status of Guam or American Samoa.
I've encountered various different suggested names for the new addition: "Northern Montana," "Poutineland," and "East Alaska."
Which one do you find most apt?

Canada was great until 2015. I know Trump’s trolling Canada. But it appears that he’s helping the Liberal Party indirectly. He should have ignored Trudeau. Wait until the election is over. Then deal with Pierre.
East Alaska would be my favorite. Followed by the latest quip on the internet, “Snow Mexico”.
Being stuck on a Canadian rafting trip for three hours confirmed to me that the Canadian left is stupid and vile. We don’t want any part of that level of crazy. Hamas would be better.
or
Snow Mexico
Why don’t we admit each province as its own state for a total of 10 new states? That would get us close to a 2/3 vote in the Senate and we can actually get rid of those bad judges.
As to MM’s efforts: even a blind squirrel finds some nuts.
We cannot sling stones north. Feinstein, Pelosi, BBoxer, Squad, etc.
If Canada didn’t exist where would Hollywood actors threaten to go but never do? Canada is a woke sick society. We don’t want them until they sober up.
Yes, we do have our own flock of Screeching Harpies.
Loved his movies uncle buck and plan3s trains and automobiles too. Great actor- died way too early. He was in another movie where he was a bumbling det3ctive- opening scenes had him drive up in I thi k it was an MG midget and he rolls out of it 😆 I think it might been his Harry crumb movie, not sure.
Gay North Dakota.
“I’ve encountered various different suggested names for the new addition: “Northern Montana,” “Poutineland,” and “East Alaska.””
Montana is unique in that we border three Canadian provinces...
I am, however in favor of Snow Mexico.
What planet are you from?
EVERY province in Canada is left wing. They would pee their pants if you asked them to give up Cradle to Grave nanny state government.
In these works, Moore exposes the ineptitude of CEOs and their complete disregard for the American worker a couple of decades earlier than Trump, but for completely different reasons (ie. pushing unionization).
My favorite segment of "TV Nation" is when he went to various corporate headquarters and challenged their CEOs to demonstrate one of their products, such as using Tide in a washing machine, etc.
All the the corporations that he showed blew him off except for one, Ford.
They had a representative meet with Moore and say that he could schedule a visit with their CEO at a later date, which they did.
Moore then met with Ford's CEO at a garage and asked him to change the oil in an Explorer, and not only did he do that, but he started pointing out all of the advanced features, etc in the vehicle while he was doing it.
That segment turned me into a Ford person overnight.
I have no doubt that if only women ruled the planet, we'd have nuclear annihilation within 10 years.
At best, we might get two Republican Senators out of Alberta and maybe one each from Manitoba or Saskatchewan. We will wind up with 16 to 18 Democrats in the Senate and probably 40 plus Democrats in the House. In other words, we would have permanent Democrat majorities in both houses of Congress. No thanks.
