Specious CSIS Sit-Com

If you thought the Ceeb's Little Mosque on the Prairie was a hoot 'n' a half (and, hey, who doesn't?; if you have the temerity to resist its japery, you risk prosecution by a Canucki kangaroo court) you're going to love its latest boffo feat of leftist cluelessness masquerading as comedy. From the Toronto Star:

OTTAWA—A plot to ship Saskatchewan uranium to Tehran? To smuggle blueprints for a Canadian “super-sub” to Russia? Foiled by hapless Canadian spooks?

If it sounds worse than corny, it’s because it is.

A new CBC television show takes big and small kicks at Canada’s Security and Intelligence Service in a spoof entitled InSecurity that began airing this week.

Besides the aerial shots that make Ottawa look glamorous (yeah, Toronto, take that), the show is definitely not meant to be taken seriously.

The comedy is slapstick, predictable and embarrassing in a cringe-inducing, Canadian kind of way.

And, a minor point, but it definitely needs a reality check.

It’s not very sexy, but CSIS agents are not peace officers. They don’t carry guns. They do not barge in and yell “Federal agents!”

The writers either watched too many U.S. shows, or didn’t listen to Michel Juneau-Katsuya, a former CSIS employee and “security consultant” to the program developers...

Who'd they get to write this crap--Julian Assange?

I have a great idea for a sit-com. It's all about a rather dim RCMP officer who's into "diversity" and potluck dinners (though not, of course, during Ramadan). Think it'd fly?
