Season 3 Episode 18 - Repression and loathing in Canada

About this episode

The episode discusses a report on transnational repression in Canada and the challenges of using intelligence in court, while also exploring the Hells Angels' potential ownership of a shipping line.

This week the boys weigh in on a new report on transnational repression (TNR) in Canada, co-authored by one of us (hint: not Neil and not Al), why it is so hard to use intelligence in court cases, and ask whether the Hells Angels owned a shipping line. Three spies, three beers (well two since Al was drinking something called 'water'), and a virtual bar - what more can one ask for?
