From John Doyle of the Globe and Mail:

• The Border’s a crock
  “The Border (CBC, 9 p.m.) ends its season tonight. The ICS team discovers that toxic sludge is being trucked across the border and dumped in the Canadian wilderness. They follow a trail to a vicious turf war between rival Italian gangs.” Read more.

From Maria Kubacki of the Ottawa Citizen:

• The Border continues its topical ways with an Arctic crisis
  “And you thought border guards spent all their time slowing down traffic and rooting out contraband Gap hoodies bought at U.S. outlet malls. Well, maybe that’s what joe schmo border guards do. But the elite agents on The Border, CBC’s drama about the fictional Immigration and Customs Security Squad (ICS) are all about sleeper cells, corporate spies, international assassins and African drug traffickers.” Read more.

From Bill Harris of Sun Media:

• McKenna crossing ‘The Border’
  “Patrick McKenna plays a great shifty guy. Fortunately, he takes that as a compliment.” Read more.

CBC’s teaser of Episode 12-Shifting Waters:

Written by Denis McGrath Directed by Brett Sullivan
With global warming, the Arctic has become navigable, and the race to claim it heats up. As a four-nation conference on the issue unfolds in Toronto, a faraway collision under the polar ice turns a group of Canadian sailors into bargaining chips. Kessler and ICS must find a way to broker a deal that saves the sailors without selling out Canada’s future in the Arctic — even if that means betraying personal bonds to U.S. Agent Carver, and British operative Charlotte Bates.
