Canada doesn’t spend nearly enough money on jet fighters and nuclear submarines, so when evidence emerges that 18th-century Russian explorers laid claim to the Canadian far north, all Canada can do is sit there and eat it. A cover-up, orchestrated by the Prime Minister’s Office (“That man is out to lunch!”), the RCMP, and the York University Russian department fails because York University turns out to be a honey trap, riddled with KGB sex agents.
