Summary
In H2O, Paul Gross (who also serves as co-writer and co-producer on both series) starred as upstart Canadian politician Tom McLaughlin, the son of the prime minister who stepped into the spotlight after his father's mysterious death (a death that turned out to be a murder in which the younger McLaughlin was implicated).
Employing a steely-eyed charm and playing on the public's sympathy for his family's grief, McLaughlin ascended to the role of prime minister -- and then swiftly betrayed all his father's fiercely protected principles by cutting a deal to sell Canadian water to the U.S.As The Trojan Horse (which airs tonight and next Sunday at 8 p.m. on CBC) opens, several years have passed since the water selloff, and a U.S. occupation of Canada has finally led to a referendum on whether this country should relinquish its sovereignty and become part of the United States.See the full content of this document
