Canadian currency is 80 cents on the dollar. Thats cost effective right there. Also federal and provincial tax breaks. And experienced and professional crews that don’t b***h about the weather and who really want to be actors (like in California).
Toronto is a good, very generic, location for pretty much any scene any director could want within 100km. Big corporate city, slum areas, Chinatown (frankly any ethnic standin city), industrial dystopia (hello Hamilton), woods, mountains, lakeshore/water, creeks to rivers, reliable snow in winter, humid summers of august, range of building and interior architecture from log cabins to concrete brutalism. Plus a number of big studio lots and support.
Vancouver would probably book more of it wasn’t raining half the year, and the externals weren’t so recognizable.
lol what? I live in vancouver. We just had a week of rain becuase of an atmospheric river. homie, this is literally a rainforest climate. It rains all the fricking time from October to April, wave after wave of pacific systems rolling in.
>atmospheric river >You know, how come we never heard this term until like 3 years ago? It used to just be called rain.

Sure nothing like the Rockies or alps or Himalayas. But I’ve seen the Scarborough bluff, or Escarpment or granite crags up in muskoka or even local quarries sub in for alpine scenes. Just use stock for the wides or grip up a green screen for post BG.
>industrial dystopia >hamilton
You’ve obviously never been to the greater shitholes of Brampton and London
Pic related, this is what hamilton looks like. At least people here actually speak English.
I was one of those suckers until a couple years ago. I actually like the city, but it's not viable anymore. The Bay street people don't notice anything is wrong so nothing will change.
Vancouver used to have a huge movie industry but currently it seems to have evaporated since the strikes. Only Canadian movies have been filmed here since this year
Also, should mention, Torontonians are much more tolerant of movie disruptions in the street, than NYC or Chicago or even LA. Though that patience is changing.
Cheap
its one of the most expensive cities in the world
It's a shithole like the rest of the USA.
Lovely homeless camps though.
>rest of the USA

Rain in Vancouver is a non-issue. It rains at night because that's when the atmosphere cools and moisture condenses.

A week? Other people live here bud. It was one day and one morning. All of BC had drought conditions until last month.
You must live in the interior, fren. This is the first nice day on the coast in at least five, and picrel is the forecast.

Not for long when this diploma mill is importing 50,000 Indians who can't speak English every year.

A shitload of extremely moronic pajeets

This 'college' has an outlet in Square One shopping mall and all day there is a stream of nobody but indians in and out of there.
>80 cents on the dollar
Try 72 cents but yah, massive savings right there

They get tax credits.

>it’s all just identical cookie cutter condo buildings
>some of the laziest, phoned in architecture imaginable
What a soulless overpriced dump
Your missing the rest of the city that the pajeets and changs that live there call Surrey,Richmond & Burnaby
That's where you'll find regular suburban homes that only the finest and most corrupt Chinese Communist Party members can buy.
