Talk:Intelligence (Canadian TV series)

Iceland Broadcasts...
...may be the Israeli ones as the Iceland site directs there. Either they get the Israeli feed (not likely) or the Hallmark site is screwed up (quite likely, as the Israeli link jumps to the UK site) Hakluyt bean 15:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * This comment makes no sense to me as written. What is "Hallmark site"? "Iceland site"? "Israeli ones"? David Spector (talk) 15:30, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

This page is in use of updating
I am a fan of wikipedia and the articles are generally accurate and informative, however, this particular article is outdated and requires updating.

While this page is well written, the majority of the information (with the exception of the episode names and info) is in dire need of updating. These sentences from the second paragraph illustrate my point quite well: "The show centres on Jimmy Reardon (Tracey), one of Vancouver's top organized crime bosses, and Mary Spalding (Scott), the director of the Vancouver Organized Crime Unit (OCU), who has offered Reardon immunity from prosecution in exchange for his role as a police informant. The show also stars Matt Frewer as Ted Altman, the scheming assistant director of the OCU who seeks to replace Spalding..."

This information is out of date. For one thing, Mary Spalding is now the CSIS Regional Director and Ted Altman has replaced Mary in her former job.

I would like to update this page but was wondering if the orignal writer would object to me updating the page. If the original writer of this page would message me on my page I would respond within a couple of days. J Dogg 16:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

ok I noticed this page was out dated too. First I will edit the tense from is to was then I look into the other issues too. as the comments here are 2.5 years old I'll just go ahead and edit them.--Mrebus (talk) 01:41, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikileaks mention
I think a section should be added pointing out that Intelligence was mentioned in a cablegate cable as a Canadian show that portrays American in a negative light. Ddamours (talk) 13:52, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

International broadcasts
Please note that WP:TVINTL strongly discourages a list of foreign broadcasts, particularly when unsourced. I deleted that section per that guidance and per lack of any references. A text broadcast section sourced with information about notable, particularly English language, broadcasts is encouraged instead. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:53, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

Harper government
The article states, "The show was cancelled in 2008. The cancellation led to allegations that fear of the Harper government played a role in the decision." Some clarification of "the Harper government" would be helpful for readers not familiar with the show, or with Canada. Is "Harper" Stephen Joseph Harper, a former Prime Minister of Canada? If so, why would he have anything to do with the cancellation of a CBC show? If not, I might assume that "Harper" is a character on the show, but beyond that find the reference puzzling. Why would a character on a show cause the show to be canceled? Is this a particular point of view of viewers of the show or of the article's author? It should not be necessary to track down a reference to discover the meaning of a sentence in a WP article. David Spector (talk) 15:27, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
