Other mistake: Soon after Dan Ackroyd makes John Candy translate all the phrases spray-painted on the van into French, you can see them driving on the road and all the spray-paint has gone. Then later in the film it reappears and stays for the rest of the film.
Visible crew/equipment: When the presidential procession is going down a street in the very beginning, on one of the black cars you can see the reflection of the vehicle with the camera crew shooting the movie.
Other mistake: Sheriff Bud B. Boomer runs to the top of Toronto's CN tower by staircase and doesn't even draw a breath when he gets there.
Continuity mistake: During the countdown sequence you can clearly see the timer go from 7 to 8 seconds, then it starts to count back down.
Continuity mistake: The tower Honey is building when Kabral walks in has the top point on it, but when the camera angle changes, the point is missing and it's just the sphere part on top.
Chosen answer: Michael Moore's disdain for Ken Starr is clear, and continues. As recently as May of 2013, Mr. Moore referred to Ken Starr on Twitter in a negative light ("'Bring Back Ken Starr' And you said Bill Keller couldn't write anything stupider than his column backing the Iraq war"). As such, I suspect his acknowledgement of Mr. Starr is both sarcastic and genuine. He isn't showing respect for or gratitude to the man as much as he is acknowledging the fodder Ken Starr, his politics and his tactics provide to the concept of a film like "Canadian Bacon."
