Show Notes

Episode 98 - Spies and cops have related, but different, responsibilities.  The former live in the shadows while they collect intelligence.  The latter are more open as they collect evidence to lay charges and go to court.  How do we square these two professions?  Borealis is joined by former RCMP strategic analyst Angus Smith to discuss these and other issues
