What if we made Canada our enemy?
John Candy was the reason why I watched Canadian Bacon. I didn’t know that it was done by Michael Moore. It deals with some of the issues he covered in his documentary Roger, And Me about the deindustrialization of America when factories were closed and its aftermath in American cities. At the start therefore, there’s a news reporter talking about how the major factories in the city were closed while a former worker tries to commit suicide as the president’s motorcade passed by to make a political statement about his plight.<br /><br />The movie is about the President played by Alan Alda and his cabinet trying to find a new enemy for America so it can keep its factories open especially ones that make weapons. It decides Canada will be its foe hence the title. John Candy then tries to take matters into his own hands.<br /><br />There are plenty of jokes about Canadians like how they say certain words and the stereotype that they’re very polite. In one scene Dan Akroyd plays a Canadian policeman who pulls over John Candy and tells him he has to write all his insults against Canada which are spray painted on the side of his truck in French to respect French Canadians. Other times they make fun of the military industrial complex.<br /><br />I really appreciated the film. There were no real laugh out loud moments but it was really humorous and Candy was great as usual.
