Dueling Hamlets, knives are out

The Toronto International Film Festival is hailing its 50th anniversary and I've never seen the place more patriotic.

On my first morning, I looked up at a coffee shop menu and saw a sticker of a Canadian flag pasted over my habitual order, an Americano.

“A Canadiano, please?” I asked the barista, hoping my guess was correct. He nodded and rang me up. After that first sip, I was awake enough to check the receipt. It said “Canadiano” too.

“In Canada, our identity, our sovereignty, has come under threat,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said on TIFF’s opening night. Carney, inaugurated in March, was onstage at the Princess of Wales theater to introduce the premiere of “John Candy: I Like Me,” a documentary by Colin Hanks about the comedy legend who went to high school just six miles away. Candy was a star on the football squad and the drama club before “SCTV” and “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” made him famous worldwide.
