The Trojan Horse

A political thriller, the Trojan Horse stars Paul Gross (H2O) as Tom McLaughlin, a politician who watches from the sidelines as Canada relinquishes sovereignty and joins the United States. He refuses to lose his country without a fight, whether it's fair or not. The setting of the mini-series is the aftermath of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), as leading to the sale of Canadian water to the United States without any public consultation. This is a real agenda of the current Stephen Harper government, and which has been greeted with protests by the Council of Canadians and many other groups. The Prime Minister of Canada portrayed in Trojan Horse, then calls for assistance of U.S. troops to help quell ensuing civil unrest. (Source: http://www.cbc.ca/trojanhorse/index.html)
