Canadian working in film over here. All our bosses fly in from the states, the company is American (usually with a temporary Canadian corporation underneath that will dissolve after the project) and half the actors and art talent are from the states.

And to address the propaganda angle, we are usually telling American stories anyways. Right now I'm working on a show about Muhammad Ali.... All the set dressing is American...

But I did sneak some Roberson screws into a set. So hopefully the word gets out to the American people. You don't have to live under the tyrant Phillips, we have a better way.

Roberson screws are by far the most superior. I don't understand why any company would manufacturer anything else.
