Canada is living through something closer to The Truman Show than most people realize.
The film presents a man living inside a manufactured world, one carefully staged so that he sees only what others want him to see. His routines are real enough, but the setting is contrived: the horizon is false; the sky is a set; the town is a performance; and even his relationships are filtered through a script written by others. Like the average person, Truman is not stupid. He has simply been enclosed within a controlled reality and given little reason to question the frame.
