(20,176 posts)I work in the film industry in the US, I have friends in the film industry here in DC and in NYC. We've been losing work to Canada for years (more than half of the NYC/DC/Boston/Chicago street-shots you see are now shot in Toronto with quick-cuts to or splicing in local landmarks (ie. the Statue of Liberty or US Capitol) to establish locale) because the Canadian government subsidizes production at twice the rate the US federal government or any US state will, even after we proved that we create dozens of jobs and economic-stimulus for every dollar we spend; good spending and union-jobs at-that.
Stephen Harper, you're a dickhead of massive proportions but right now I could kiss you. You've just put hundreds of Canadians out of work and created thousands of US jobs.
