That's why Hollywood is so upset about runaway production. It take the jobs away from Los Angeles, and New York, leaving many actors and crews unemployed. American companies filming in Canada use Canadian actors and crews. The producers/studios make money, but everyone else just keeps looking for work. The producers get tax breaks, cheaper crew and cheaper actors. More bang for the dollar, as they say. It's good for the Canadians, but not for the American workers. Why don't the Canadians come to the U.S. and film? Why? No tax break, that's why.

But, it's nice to see Toronto and Montreal. Just wish they would film them as Toronto and Montreal, not Boston, Los Angeles, New York or any other American city or town. Most of Showtime's MOWs are filmed in Canada also. It's not just feature films, but television movies and television series.

Somebody get me off this platform. Enough I say.
