If you're a decent, hard-working Canadian, you appreciate coming home at night and watching John Candy's  zany, low-budget Canadian Bacon.  You know, Canadians love this movie as much as they love hockey. In fact, to Canadians it's the god-damned equivalent of It's A Wonderful Life. It's unlikely that you'd ever see a Canadian DVD collection without a copy or two of Canadian Bacon on the shelf.

The underlying idea in this great Canadian movie (that rates on par with The Mouse That Roared and Wag The Dog), is that it is better not to go to war, because a war with Canada wouldn't last long enough. Don't mess with the Canadians is the true message though, throughout Canadian Bacon.

Canadians take pride in their unique culture, and it can not be represented any truer than with late great Canadians such as our beloved John Candy.

While there will always be comparisons between the magnificent Canadian Bacon and that other movie, Dr. Strangelove, no good Canadian will ever try to put Peter Sellers on the same pedestal as John Candy (well, they're both dead and there wouldn't be enough room on the stand).

Why not tonight, go out and rent, or better yet buy, a copy of Canadian Bacon, and sit back and enjoy how the wonderful satire unfolds.
