TIFF highlights for Sept. 5

Welcome to Day 2 of the Toronto International Film Festival . The opening night of the festival had everything to do with Canada. The evening started off with the world premiere of John Candy: I Like Me , a new documentary about the life and legacy of one of Canada’s comedy heroes. The doc’s producer and B.C. native Ryan Reynolds introduced the film during its Princess of Wales premiere while sporting a “Canada” T-shirt. Meanwhile, the film’s second gala screening at Roy Thomson Hall was prefaced by a semi-surprise appearance from Prime Minister Mark Carney.
