The national average is pretty high, but J_Lol and I are both here and we're anomalous outliers, so we jack the average up pretty splendidly. Best to look at the national median...

yup, nothing like the bearded canadian mafia, with american ladies on their arms to make a pub go silent in respect. I wear red plaid, and have a concealed carry permit for my chainsaw.

What, you bother with a permit? I carry a sawed-off chainsaw because [of that thing NWA said which I won't repeat here].

[Jesus_lol]

The permit is so i dont have to go on a witness killing spree and high speed escape when a mountie inquires about the bulge(chainsaw, jeez people) in my pantaloons. Im not going back to jail man.

It's a'ight man, I got friends on the inside who owe me a few favours. You know that time in Donnie Brasco where they all get sent to prison? Or was that Goodfellas? Anyway, they're basically kings of the prison in that. It would be like that except even more so. You'd live better than the guards. Plus I can pull a few strings (there's a chainsaw attachment app for that) to get you an official pardon afterwards. Basically a free vacation.

I believe it was Goodfellas. I dont watch that many Gangster films... between living the life daily, and being asked by hollywood to step into the badass pantaloons, i have to devote the rest of my morning to hunting polar bears. I just use sharpened sticks to make it a fair fight.

Of the Canadians I know, it's split 60/40 on if I like them

Also most of the voice actresses from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and more of the secondary characters, sets, and extras from The X-Files.

No need to thank us. We already know what an important contribution we've made.

Actually a lot of amesome television is shot in Toronto.

When I was in Toronto for a conference, the hotel I stayed in was directly in front of city hall. I looked out my window and went "oh man, that's the city hall from Resident Evil!"

Vancouver and the Toronto area especially get some good filming business because you can't tell them apart from a major American city, and it's significantly cheaper to work there.
Then for natural settings there's some great stuff in Alberta too, and the BC interior.

yeah Vancouver is like Seattle but prettier. many times watching movies it says "Seattle" but my family is like "aww hell naw, that skyline be from North Van! and now they are in Jericho beach!"

[Vincent Vega]

I've been to Toronto. I liked it.
I also liked what I could see of it from Detroit.

[Starets]

toronto City Hall was also in a ST:TNG episode. I've seen it and i thought it was much more impressive on television than in real life.

[BG45]

I'll agree on it being better looking in film.

But yeah, Stargate SG-1 made great use of Canadian pine forests in those areas too. They even joked about it once, "Do you ever notice how everything always looks the same?"

[Nihil Obstat]

Brokeback Mountain was filmed in the Canadian Rockies, about an hour's drive from where I live.
Stupid movie, of course, but great setting.
