Examples from his past movies (NOT documentaries): there is no racism in Canada and Canadians don't lock their doors (because crime is soooo low). And now, since he's not getting praise from Canadians, we are no longer funny. Is that all he thought we were good for - Jim Carry and Mike Myers. That man needs to be exported to an unnamed African country to work and try to contribute something useful to humanity.

While Canada does have health care, it is not flawless by any stretch of the imagination. There are some insane waiting times and not every condition is covered. To top it off, health care is a provincial responsibility - not federal. This allows for great differences from province to province. Thus, presenting a "Canadian" system of health care fits in with the Moore style perfectly - inherently flawed. I also have a problem with the label "documentary" for anything that he excretes.
