Per rialzare le quotazioni in declino nei sondaggi e tentare di essere rieletto, un presidente degli USA ha bisogno di una guerra o di qualcosa di simile. In mancanza di meglio, trova un Impero del Male nel Canada. Dopo Roger & Me (1989) e Pets or Meat - Return to Flint (1991, inedito in Italia), l'intrepido M. Moore fa un'incursione nella fiction, pur rimanendo fedele ai suoi intenti critici e satirici sul sistema sociopolitico statunitense. Più di una freccia a bersaglio, dialoghi spiritosi qua e là, ghiotti confronti tra canadesi (ai quali Moore non lesina la sua simpatia) e yankee, ma l'idea di partenza ha il fiato corto.
