Shortly after, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)[a] raid the garage, led by David's old colleague, Martin Ward.
David crashes the get-away vehicle, is shot, and takes drugs to make his escape story believable to mob boss Sylvio DiPietro and his henchman Mike Dubois.
Martin follows the three men to the Consulate General of the United States, Montreal [fr], but when he returns the next day, he is obstructed by bureaucrats and gains no information.
When David arrives at a small town main street, surveillance of DiPietro and his customers leads Martin to believe they are preparing to remotely detonate a car bomb.
Returning to Montreal, David and Martin find their operation has been shut down with only their security hacker MC remaining; they decide to continue without authorization.
David and Martin return to the US consulate where Blaine and his three conspirators discuss how their false flag operation will renew the American war on terror and make them heroes.
Blaine is alerted to David and Martin's presence and takes them to his office, where he tells them that they were right and that the FBI has seized most of the car bombs and the computers.
They then use a nearby mobile crane to carry the truck to the river, where they drop it, flooding the rear compartment and disabling the transmitter.
The film touches on what seems to be a political angle, with some satire thrown at the US, but actor Colm Feore expresses that they are trying to convey a sociological message, in that Canadians and Americans have fundamental differences.
[10] Colm Feore claims that "the wonderful thing about the movie is the way it capitalizes on cultural differences for laughs, but never puts one side above the other.
[12] Michael Madsen was slated to appear in the film as an FBI agent, but was forced to drop out for health reasons and was replaced by Andreas Apergis.
