On Monday, October 27th, a new episode of the Border, "Peak Oil", airs on the CBC, raising a plethora of ethical questions surrounding eco terrorism, and the acts committed by environmental extremist groups. Every case is different, though I can't help but wonder, are terrorist acts in support of an environmental cause counter productive, or proactive? And are the true eco terrorists the oil based companies themselves, or the organizations committed to fighting against them?

EPISODE 3 of THE BORDER -THANKSGIVING MONDAY

Episode 2 down, and lots of drama to go. With 2 weeks of The Border under our belts, we can now get ready to be glued to our seats again on Thanksgiving Monday. Small confession...I've already watched Episode 3, and it's really nicely done. Intricate story line, new characters that are oh-so-sneaky and edgy, amazing acting across the board, sharp camera work and editing...you'll have to wait till Monday to find out, but trust me when I say, The Border will not disappoint. After you're stuffed with turkey, take a load off, relax, and let The Border do the rest of the entertaining for the night.

203 - Floral Tribute                                                            

Written by Greg Nelson, Directed by Phil Earnshaw

Shipments of poisoned African heroin are hitting the streets of Toronto.  Junkies start dying from the toxic drugs and ICS must race to track down the smugglers.   The investigation leads them to a Kenyan flower merchant, his troubled daughter, and a mysterious English woman named Abi Mitchell.  As Kessler zeroes in on the African smugglers, Mitchell gives him much more that he bargained for.

 

Episode 2 of the Border is gearing up to very exciting...I've read the script and it's full of twists, as well as a few sexy moments between 2 characters whose relationship we've been waiting with baited breath to see develop. I'm genuinely excited to watch it play out on Monday night. 

Catch the show at its regular 9pm EST (9:30 NT) timeslot on CBC.
