You mentioned getting rid of the CBC, but what else? The BC government has been pretty aggressive in matching filming tax credits with the rest of the country.

The BC government has been pretty aggressive in matching filming tax credits with the rest of the country.

I am a UBCP member and according to the annual meeting (held just last week) we have a drop of 35% from the year before. Battlestar didn't move back to California but Battlestar (on it's own) a film industry does not make. We still have some other projects in town but precious little. In film B.C. is (like the rest of the country) the U.S.'s bitch. Canada will never have a legitimate film buisness as long as the CBC exists and other pseudo nationalistic baloney organizations. Every patriotic twit cites X-files demise as some magic perpetuated by the move back to California. Well it wasnn't, it died for two reasons. 1) Dave left the show and 2) it ran out of decent plots. Wake up and smell the celulose, as a film industry for the grace of California we exist. Are you so blind as you can’t see? I have been in this business for 18 years and mostly in B.C.
