Ted Shaw of the Windsor Star talks to Graham Abbey of CBC’s The Border:

Among those is the chore of dealing with the somewhat sinister bureaucrat who is his boss. Then, there’s a hot American agent named Bianca LaGarda, who enters the picture to protect the interests of the United States.” Read more.
