Reel to Read Movies “Canadian Bacon” (1995)
Canadian Bacon (1995) is a sharp, fast-paced political satire from director Michael Moore that flips the idea of international conflict on its head. When a U.S. president with plummeting approval ratings decides he needs a new enemy, his administration whips up a hilariously absurd “cold war” with Canada. What follows is a cascade of misunderstandings, over-the-top patriotism, and brilliantly exaggerated stereotypes that hit surprisingly close to home even today.
