I think It would have been alot better if the story revolved around the Canadian/American boarder instead of the Canadian/Canadian boarder. Colm Feore is American after all. All that has to be done is to have his character (Martin Ward) to live in; I dunno Buffalo, Niagara Falls or Detroit.
shareColm Feore is Canadian he may have been born in the States but he's Canadian just read his profile.

Colm Feore may have been born in America, but he's 100% Canadian in my eyes.
shareAmerica is not this country south to ours, it's the continent where we live. Also, isn't spelled "border"?

cobayexxx: good point, about the continent thing… Also, my comment is not exactly related to the topic, but i think you'll find this interesting. One of my friends is from Mexico, and has been living with me in Montréal for 2 months now. He speaks perfect English, and he's now learning French (but still knows very little). I took him to see the movie, after giving him a crash course on our country's history and language status. Of course, he missed a lot of the jokes, but he still found the movie hilarious and he said it made him understand the "rivalry" between Ontario and Québec. Of course I pointed out to him that is was a satire, but I think the movie does just that: depicting in a funny way our duality, in such a way that even a stranger could seize. A Canada vs USA movie wouldn’t have the same appeal, I mean, I can’t think of any joke to make about that... besides mad cow and lumber disputes… and that’s not funny…

Actually North America is the continent. When pluralized as "the Americas" it refers to the combined North, Central and South America. The singular form can also be used in the phrase "the continent of America" to also refer to North, Central and South America.
Etymologically, the use of the singular form "America" without the words "the continent of" does indeed refer to the United States of America.
Before I knew Colm Feore's name I would simply refer to him as "that Canadian actor", and strangely enough people always knew who I was talking about.
shareIt would have been a bit stupid, the borders between Canada and U.S.A are heavely garded. If they would have seen an helicopter drop a guy on the borders, they would of shot the helicopter down already.

I think that the poster meant it to be on the border of Quebec and New York, with the investigators as french Canadian and American.
shareNo, you can see on the poster, their a maple leaf, and that blue thing quebec has, I don,t see anything that relates to United States.
shareThe blue thing is a fleur de lys (sp?).
I know that it's on the border of Ontario and Quebec, as I saw the movie and it is obvious in all the commercials for the movie. What I was saying before was that I thought the person who started the topic meant that the movie would have been better if the investigators were French Canadian and American.
it would be too messy with respect to the laws; with the current movie you can simply assume it's a federal crime hence why ontario and quebec police can work together but if it were canadian/american, there'd be two separate laws.
