A Conservative minority government trying to pass a bill that will enable them to go to war suffers a setback when one of the Tory MPs falls ill - leaving the key vote for the government's warmongering initiative in the hands of independent MP Steve Guibord (Patrick Huard), a former hockey player whose pro career fizzled. Feverishly courted by the Tories and subjected to a moral tug of war at home - his ambitious wife (Suzanne Clément) wants him to vote Yes; his peacenik daughter (Clémence Dufresne-Deslières), No - Guibord is unable to decide. As the vote nears and Guibord is beset on all sides - with demands and threats also coming from a group of hard-right local politicos, First Nations protesters, and peace organizations - salvation arrives in the form of his new intern, Souverain (Irdens Exantus), a young Haitian student who knows considerably more about the ins and outs of our parliamentary system than does his boss.

Political comedies are always either-or. Either the entire situation’s absurdity makes you roll around on the floor laughing, like in the show Yes, Minister, or you’re disappointed, because the topic had so much more to give. My Internship in Canada is lucky to be filmed in a human way and with a realistic accuracy, just as if you were enjoying the internship yourself when you’re actually sitting on the sofa, watching TV. On the other hand, it could have been more fun.
