Home > The Canadian Conspiracy

The program features many Canadians famous in the US who do not emphasize their being Canadian. Among them are:

• Lorne Greene, the leader;
• Lorne Michaels, the protege;
• Leslie Nielsen, the Canadian Government connection as brother to deputy Prime Minister Erik Nielsen;
• Peter Jennings, propaganda and disinformation;
• Morley Safer , propaganda and disinformation;
• William Shatner
• John Candy, the henchman
• Eugene Levy, the insider who risks his life to bring the consipiracy to light.

They, and other Canadian-born stars, are hounded by HBO reporters asking them about the Canadian conspiracy, of which they deny all knowledge.

Much is made of Leslie Nielsen's brother Erik, then a prominent Canadian politician; of the green card being in actuality named after Lorne Greene, and of Lorne Michael's youth indicating his grooming as Lorne Greene's successor.
