TORONTO — Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore says Canadians have to stand on guard against creating two Canadas -- one for the rich and one for the poor.

He says Canadians seem to be on a misguided quest to become more like Americans when it comes to health care.

As a result, he tells a conference in Toronto, Canadians are straying from one of their core principles of looking out for one another.

Moore also took direct aim at the health-care bill before the U.S. Congress, saying it will enrich medical and drug companies.

He says Americans are spectacularly uninformed about Canada's health-care system, which he praised.

Moore says Canadians do not die or lose their homes because they cannot afford medical treatment, a situation millions of Americans face now and will continue to face.
