Well, we can dream, can’t we?
Canada has a vast, dark intelligence network as befits a superpower, and valiant efforts to save the world just get thwarted by bungling characters and sloppy execution.
That’s the premise behind the upcoming CBC spy-fi comedy InSecurity, from Corner Gas creative Kevin White, Virginia Thompson and Robert de Lint.
“It’s a bit of a comic book world we’re trying to create. Why not?,” says Kevin White, of Company Name Here Productions, about the 13-episode spoof of the popular secret agent genre.
“Canada can save the world, with permission to screw up on our own. No parents are watching,” he adds.
InSecurity, while shot mostly in Regina this past summer, is set in Ottawa and portrays a fictional National Intelligence and Security Agency (NISA), who keep Canada safe-ish.
