In Reply to: Canada is a MUCH better deal - here's why: posted by tinamic on November 07, 2000 at 09:38:05:
: No airfares - you could drive it even
: American dollar is worth 1/3 more here so $1000 = $1300
: My province gives film companies a 35% rebate on all labour
: Not a lot of unions to deal with.
: Friendly people like me!
: Better beer
: Better music (our pop is US idea of alternative)
: Lots of hockey
how's a man ment to compete with that? here's an idea;
-canadian and american beer is sold in australia as "lite beer" and it is.
-insane tax cuts and rebates on film equipment, labour and transport.
-doubling the budget thru exchange rates and then making it more cost effective by costing less for talent, transport, and (most) equipment
-few unions to deal with and those you do have to deal with you can pretty much ignore.
-Australians
-pup rock, a booming undergroup music industry (ratio wise), TALENT
-NO AUSTRALIAN SPORTS INVOLVE BODY ARMOR IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!
sorry dude I like canadians in general but I'm not letting this topic slide
