Canadian Bacon
It's lonely at the top when there's no butt left to kick.
A satirical political comedy that uses the absurdity of manufacturing a conflict with Canada to skewer presidential desperation and Cold War logic.
The U.S. President, low in the opinion polls, gets talked into raising his popularity by trying to start a cold war with Canada.
