Mike, known as Mike from Canmore, is a retired fictional character from the 1993 sketch comedy series Royal Canadian Air Farce. He was portrayed by British actor John Morgan from 1994 until Morgan's retirement from the program in 2001. Morgan, who had never since 2001 performed the character publicly, died in late 2004. Mike was known for his clothing, which included a red Calgary Flames hat, a checkered shirt, and brown vest. He also owned a dog, named Norm, that was actually only a stuffed animal in which he would attempt to have perform tricks. Mike would often show up at the most unexpected of times in various random skits in Air Farce. In the first few years of his existence, Mike's only line was "I'm Mike... from Canmore," which he would deliver very slowly and in a bewildered tone. Eventually, the character was expanded to say more, often about his dog. Other characters in the sketch would eventually get frustrated with Mike's apparent slowness and ability to grasp whatever situation had arisen. Sketches with Mike invariably ended with somebody asking Mike, in exasperation "What have you got to say?" or "What do you think about that?" to which Mike would respond with his catchphrase.
