A thread in general reminded me of the comedy movie Canadian bacon, sadly it didn’t do well at the box office. It’s one of Oscar Award winner Michael Moore’s earlier works and deals with a US President who wants to distract people from domestic troubles by invading Canada, it really plays into Canadian and American stereotypes and is IMHO real funny. Anyway here are some classic quotes from the movie:
President: I want to say to Prime Minister MacDonald: Surrender her pronto, or we’ll level Toronto.
Mountie: Who are you?
Boomer: I’m your worst nightmare. I’m a citizen with a constitutional right to bear arms!
TV Announcer: The Canadians. They walk among us. William Shatner. Michael J. Fox. Monty Hall. Mike Meyers. Alex Trebek. All of them Canadians. All of them here.
TV Announcer: Think of your children pledging allegiance to the maple leaf. Mayonnaise on everything. Winter 11 months of the year. Anne Murray - all day, every day.
Roy Boy: Are you sure we’re in Canada?
Honey: You smell anything?
Roy Boy: No.
Honey: Exactly. Canada!
President: The American people, Mr. Smiley, would never ever buy this.
Smiley: Mr. President, the American people will buy whatever we tell them to.
Russian President: You’re in charge of the world, now. Don’t be such a sore winner!
