Did they mention those pesky Hollywood actors and producers in that cartoon, filming in Canada instead of California to save money?
OH, that's right!! Only certain millionaires are evil and bad. The liberal ones, who SAY they want their money taxed but don't actually give more money to the government (and probably have some of the best accountants on speed-dial), are OK.
After years of excessive greed on the part of the various cottage industries that have grown up around the "Hollywood" film industry, California enacted Canadian style tax credits in order to compete.
With the USDollar roughly on par with the Canadian, producers make the trek north, not so much to save money, as to acquire the locations. There is no way to make LA appear like NEW York City in the winter.
Canada is a location manager's mecca, ...especially for exteriors.
Canada can recreate just about any US exterior rural, suburban or urban, all within the same province. The same cannot be said for every US state, ...if any.
These days, the #1 reason to come to Canada is the locations.
#2 is the co-operative spirit between government & industry. In Canada, we have infrastructure, both public & private that co-operates and works WITH producers, versus, the infrastructure in the USA which looks to make a buck off producers. We're talking very different environments, both geographically & fiscally.
