(NY DAILY NEWS)  JOE NEUMAIER — No, Michael Moore isn’t up to his old tricks.

The director — whose controversial films “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “Bowling for Columbine” have made him as popular with liberals as he is hated by conservatives — is certainly stirring things up again with his new film “Where to Invade Next,” but he told a crowd at the 40th annual Toronto Film Festival that he wants to build, not tear down.

“This is ‘Mike’s Happy Movie,’” said Moore, 61, about “Invade,” which features Moore “invading” progressive countries to steal their good ideas. If Italy, Tunisia, Iceland, France and Germany can have extraordinary public education, high quality health-care systems, low crime rates, humane working conditions and great quality of life, why can’t America, Moore asks.
