Trailer park boys is incredibly overrated.
wow what are you even doing here?
You fricking want one
I'll frickin crank any of ya
The cheif issue with TPB is it's basically two different shows with the same name. There's the actual show, that was run by Mike Clatenburg, which consists of something like the first 7 seasons, which is genuinely funny and worth watching.
Around season 8 or somethign the showrunner was having issues with the cast and apparently had issues with funding, so he decided to end the show. The three boys decided to buy the rights to the show and continued producing material for it, although most of that is podcast shit and merchandise, think IASIP.
The "second" version run by the three boys is awful unwatchable garbage. It sucks too because the boys are good guys they just lost the thread a little.

Trailer Park Boys
SCTV
Corner Gas
This Hour has 22 Minutes
all terrible.
Canada is a cultural wasteland. any Canadian with talent just becomes American and works for Hollywood making American movies. That is how you become successful here, you move to the USA.
true like james cameron
Most good movies are filmed in Canada. They're really Canadian movies and Americans are leeching.
You are a bootleg version of America though
SCTV was so fricking good. SNL could never in a million years hope to compete.
Trailer Park Boys is the only good one and that's only the first 7 seasons before israeliteflix bought it
I understand SCTV is way before your time zoomie but come on youtube exists
>corner gas
based
>no Kids in the Hall
pleb
Corner gas is great. It’s like our seinfeld
I never actually watched Corner Gas but it was usually always on. Searched up a video and found this
Due South. Slings and Arrows. Men with brooms. Basically anything with Paul Gross in it.
I'm Canadian and have genuinely NO IDEA. Our media is consistently terrible.
I hate all of this.
Nice try pajeet.
Comfy shoot locations in SG1 and Xfiles
No GOOLD posters????

My kid went up to Don and Ron at a iceDogs game. Don basically told him to frick off and Ron spent 5 minutes taking with him about his favourite player and his Timmy league. Frick Don Cherry. Shitty coach, blowhard analyst, butthole.
and 21 Jump Street

Rush is gay as frick.

Richard Manuel was not from Arkansas

Canada is less white than the US you maple back snow Black person.
You “people” are just another form of israelite. There is no difference between chinks, russkies, israelites, and yanks now that i think of it
>chinks

>russkies

>israelites
hit and miss but they do know how to make entertainment (or used to)
>yanks
50/50 but can be pretty based
I like Canadians, it’s just banter, chill out. You gave us some of the hottest women in the world like Avril and Pamela Anderson. I’m mostly just angry about you sending us Seth Rogan.
Canada is 70% white
USA is 61% white

They brought in over 3 million Indians just over the past 3 years. Plus a lot of well off, native Canadians left in 2021 seeing how shit was nosedving. The largest number in 3 decades. I bet your little chart doesn't factor in either.
>a lot of well off, native Canadians left in 2021

Add the Barenaked Ladies and the Tragically Hip to the gay list. Frick Canada is gay.

I can't get into Geddy Lee's singing but the instrumentation is great
Neil Peart is one of the greats and Alex Lifeson is very underrated as a rock guitarrist
Yeah, lots of kids cartoons too.
I'm partial to Land and Sea very cozy.
Canada just doesn't have much in the way of super famous TV / Film although they do with music.
ryan gosling, michael j fox, william shatner, michael cera, keanu reeves, leslie nielsen. and a lot of others
>Canada just doesn't have much in the way of super famous TV / Film although they do with music
it's just because all our talent goes to Hollywood. there's a ton of Canadian-born people making tv/movies in America.
also Vancouver and Toronto are used a lot for location shooting.
Scott Pilgrim was gay as frick.
The Cube movies b***h top kino of the highest order
My homie.
tax breaks for Hollywood filmmakers shooting there
Pretty much. Wait to the end of the credits of your favorite goyslop television & film and there's a high chance you'll see thanks to Quebec or Alberta tax credits.
Ottawagay here, they shoot at least 1 Hallmark Christmas movie every year a few blocks from my place, there's even one filming right now.

Canada has produced less kino than Iran and Brazil
I get the joke, Iran and Brazil have never made kino
What are some french canadian kinos? In french, I'm learning and want some stuff to watch.
Nobody actually knows
Learning what? Québécois?
French, I know Quebec's regional accent is a shitload of slang but it's still the same language.
Montreal has way more haitians than bougnoules, shame since nafri and lebanese girls can be pretty hot.
Actual French people laugh at you and think you sound stupid because you are
Québécois don't care about what arabs and israelites think.
No, I mean like bonafide French people. I worked with this smoking hot French chick, like y’know from France, and she couldn’t stop laughing anytime a quebecer tried to chat her up. Was pretty cash
> bonafide french
Those still exists?
bon cop bad cop
Literally the only good answer here.
Incendies
it's got a lot of arabic speaking in it too, but that's culturally authentic anyway.
elvis gratton
Some of Villeneuve's earlier films and also an unrelated short film about a girl who doesn't want to wear a bikini that gets discussed here a lot more than you'd expect for some reason
Merci beaucoup mon amis, the effort is appreciated. While we're on the subject, any good Quebecois music or literature I should check out? I'm nowhere near reading fluidly but I'm heading up to Montreal in a couple weeks for another visit and it's always nice to go used book shopping.
I got you bro
>White Black folk of America
Quebecers stealing our (Irish Americans) title, the nerve. Its weird to think there could've been a north america split between french speakers, english speakers, spanish speakers, gaelic and welsh speakers.
Well if your doughy asses could’ve survived picking cotton, sure
The only better thing than cheap labor is free labor
Les Colocs have a great musical range. A lot of World Music sounds. Iconic band in Québec, but the singer an hero'd in 2000
If you like prog, there's Harmonium
Offenbach and their singer Gerry Boulet were the biggest rock stars in Quebec in the 70s and 80s
Jean Leloup is one of those really unique weird idiosyncratic artist, just does whatever he wants and it ends up being a hit here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_VQa_kf30Y
and the last I'm gonna link is Plume Latraverse. Living folk hero. Go to any tavern in Quebec, if you start singing any of his songs, people will start singing with you

OH, ACTUALLY
if you want another good movie, that one about Les Colocs' singer Dédé Fortin, there's a good movie about him called "Dédé à travers les brumes"
Thank you, Quebec in general has been my favorite place to visit in North America. Montreal is the least awful major city in North America and Quebec City was like stepping into a time machine to before 9/11. Overwhelmingly white, the people were kind and it felt like there was a strong sense of community and people actually enjoying life. Coming from my miserable shithole in the Northeastern US, it felt like how things should be.
I wouldn't wanna be born anywhere else...if it wasn't for the fricking snow, it makes me wish I was born in Arizona or something
Come visit the southwest sometime anon, I lived in Texas for a summer and it was pretty great. Wouldn't want to be there long term because its often dangerous, too car dependent and too hot. But, it is a lot of fun for a year or two. If you have a degree look into the TN visa, its a nafta thing allowing professionals to get jobs between north american nations. Its unfortunately now a backdoor for jeets who get a meme degree in ontario, but you probably could find a job if you really wanted to.
Man, I am so tempted to move to Quebec
C.R.A.Z.Y. (from Dallas Buyer's Club's director Jean-Marc Vallée, incredible period piece)
Red Rooms
Any Denys Arcand movie, he's made tons of them. Won an Oscar and 3 César for Les Invasions Barbares. Jésus de Montréal is another good one.
Maurice Richard (i think it's called The Rocket in english)
Most movies starring Rémi Girard are incredible (he's in most of Denys Arcand's movies too)
the Elvis Gratton trilogy by Pierre Falardeau. sizzling parody of the common "colonized" liberal-voting québécois from the late 60s-late 80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZS7sOOpELI (and if you're actually interested in Québec history, please check out 15 Février 1839 (about the patriot's rebellion and execution) and Octobre (about the October Crisis of 1970), and his documentary Le Temps des Bouffons about the Beaver Club and English Imperialism.
Maelström and Polytechnique by Denis Villeneuve before he broke out.
if you like vaudeville comedy, check out Ding et Dong Le Film and (tv show) La Petite Vie by Claude Meunier and Serge Thériault ( last show also featuring Girard) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Vygol7LqI
If you want a good movie, check out the following name
Rémy Girard
Claude Legault
Roy Dupuis
Luc Picard
Julien Poulin
Oh, another TV show you should check out is Les Bougons (starring Girard) about a Montreal family living on welfare, but thriving from tricking "the system" that's broke them
Les Bougons is absolutely kino. L’gros show is also great as a side piece if you’re into stoner/absurdism comedy.

> Vampire humaniste cherche personne suicidaire consentante is cute as frick

Sarah Gadon has been in a Xavier Dolan film too!
The Decline
In Memoriam (tv series)
Brotherhood of the wolf
I'd add Le coeur a ses raisons to this guy's
list. It's a parody of american soap operas and it's played as if it were dubbed from English, so the accent used is the "dubbing" international French. It's hilarious
Le vent du nord
Garolou (not exactly Québécois, but French Canadian nonetheless)
Do you guys ever do your own dubs or just rely on International French dubs?
Rely is a big word. There's a lot of "international" french dubs done in Quebec. Titanic is one of them. A lot of stoner comedies had joual dubs for region-1 DVDs. They didn't show up on the blurays or streamers though. Namely the Cheech and Chong series.
I hate watching dubs though. I'm bilingual and I know how to read subs (both in french and english), so I'll always watch with the original audio. Some movies are actually pretty good in joual dubs. Slapshot with Paul Newman works so much because hockey rooms will always sound a bit Québécois. The Cheech and Chong series too (the mixing is terrible though)
The Simpsons is better with the Québec dub.
Trailer Park Boys and Fubar

tax credits. lots of films scamming free money and money laundering kickbacks.
>scamming free money and money laundering kickbacks.
this is 50% of the canadian economy. the other 50% is real estate.
if Ontario Quebec and BC are in on this shit it begs the question. why do states like new York or California get in on this and bring production to the US why let it all go to Canada.
In addition to tax credits our dollar (or “loonie,” if you prefer) is virtually always worth less than American dollars. That and we don’t shoot each other and riot in the streets over Black folk
how much of a tax credit are we talking here per film like if it costs 10 million how much do provinces give them?
Cursory search revealed 16% of eligible wages, terms and conditions apply
Red green show

This long until a RedGreen acknowledgment. This board is toast.
i took too long finding a picture and writing my anecdote here
i grew up in the rural Deep South and this was one of mine and my dad’s favorite shows on PBS.
It made Canadians relatable to Rural America. it reminded is that Canadians might be a bunch of homosexuals but at least we had hunting and fishing and DIY in common.
I grew up ina trailer (but not in a triler park) so I thought that Trailer Park Boys was hilarious.
If Quebec is included in Canada, Denis Villeneuve; otherwise, nothing.
>If a Canadian province is included in Canada
NOTHING

Also various film were shot in Canada like Shanghai Noon, Unforgiven, Open Range, and the Revenant.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY KINO!
Please take him back.
frick me is she hot and those breasts are perfect
it got to the point when I was a kid I could tell instantly if an actor was Canadian cause they all would show up as guest characters in star gate, xfiles and outer limits. Canadians also have a strange look about them that's distinct hard to put into words.
It's either the french or british look.
I don't know what it is about them might be that they are all mixed French and English you are right
>every troony director is a white american
good it feels good to be Canadian
It would be pretty shocking if your country had less trannies per capita than America, Canada is full of homos
>100 replies

Pleb fricking city itt. Watch the 80's mini-series. Pure comfy kino, I'd say it's kind of the female version of Sharpe of Hornblower but anyone can enjoy it. I haven't watched any of the spin off series so I can't speak for the quality but I imagine it's more of the same.
~~*Cronenberg*~~ pére et fillé. Everything else is shit. Inb4 some homosexual tries to defend pedo ass traoler park boys.
Squawk Box
I genuinely feel bad for the 30 or 40 non-homosexuals in Canada.
All the non-gays live in the rural parts where houses still cost nothing.
Uh moron, I live in rural and it's still 500k for a shitbox. 200k if you want a mobile home.
James Cameron, David Cronenberg, Denis Villememe, Michael J. Fox, Ryan Gosling and of course, Cinemaphile's sweetheart Brianne
all of these homies is basically american since they moved there, some of them earlier than others
Cronenberg and Villneuve are the only ones who've contributed out of Canada.
Sarah Gadon has been in both Denis Villeneuve and David Cronenberg movies
She was born in California so she's not Canadian. Also too much of a c**t to be one.
Cinemaphile has no love for that disgusting b***h

White people have superior taste
White people hate her too
Well I'm white and I love her 🙂
maybe your gay?
Lol no, youtubers obsessed with hating on women are functionally gay
He's gay. Pic related is the Brie spammer
Eh, she's not my favorite but she likes Buster Keaton which is a +1 in my book.
It's based on a dream he had. The short story just served as further inspiration and that's why Harlan is credited at the end of the movie. It's not a 1:1 copy.
Brie is from California.
This b***h was born in Sacramento.
Sarah Gadon is a true Canadian and Cinemaphile's only sweetheart
James Cameron I guess. Although one of his best movies is based on a Harlan Ellison short story.

>What has Canada contributed to television and film
Right now it is the fricking film industry
Literally 90% of shows and movies are filmed in Canada cause it's cheaper
Canada is the new hollywood.
Netflix even opened a their first headquarters in Canada last year. Big names like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Sarah Gadon attended the grand opening.
>cheaper

Canadas industry is a pump and dump, its like show biz t-ball. Large corporate productions are shrinking not expanding, everything is changing and the subsidies are not permanent.

Blackberry is really good.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Vikings even if it's not the very best show of all time. Also how do we feel about giving The X-Files honorable mention for being mostly shot there?
This was fun.
First 4-ish seasons were good, then it became shit. Ragnars kids were shit, especially Ivar.
The Outer Limits is a legit good show even if it's a Twilight Zone rip off. Watch it.
>There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter.[3] We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: There is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits.
frick I was so hyped as a kid at night.
Canada contributes to media in the same way I contribute to the sewer by flushing my toilet after a shit.

Approx 1985-1995, billions of dollars of film revenue were raked into movie companies due to 3 Canadian comic actors:
- Mike Myers
- Leslie Nielsen
- Jim Carrey
Also, em ell pee was produced in Vancouver. The writers and showrunners were American but almost all the VAs and production were Canadian.
I'm surprised people on Cinemaphile even know about Corner Gas. I live in the province it was filmed in and it's still mostly a niche show that only boomers watch. It doesn't really get brought up with zoomers and millenials here, that title goes to Tpb.
