Canadian Bacon

"It's lonely at the top when there's no butt left to kick."

Sep 22 1995 PG 1h 31m
Comedy

The U.S. President, low in the opinion polls, gets talked into raising his popularity by trying to start a cold war with Canada.

Plot

The US economy is in a rut, and so is the president's approval rating. What we need is a good war, but the Russians aren't interested. Hey -- how about that big polite country to the north? Niagara Falls Sheriff Bud B. Boomer takes this all a bit too seriously, though.
