description: Hosea Funk, mayor of Algren, believes he is the biological son of the Prime Minister of Canada, and longs to meet him. To his delight, this becomes a possibility when the Prime Minister announces that he will visit Canada's smallest town on Canada Day. With a population of just 1500, Algren is in the running, and Hosea becomes fixated on keeping the town as small as he possibly can. But the untimely arrival of out-of-towners, including Hosea's girlfriend who wants to move in with him, throws into jeopardy his plans to be reunited with his biological father.
