Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced retaliatory tariffs after Donald Trump confirmed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods and 10% on energy, set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.
Trump justified the move by linking it to fentanyl smuggling concerns.
Trudeau called the tariffs “unjustified” and imposed 25% tariffs on $155 billion in U.S. goods, with $30 billion effective immediately and the rest in 21 days.
He warned of price hikes and job losses in the U.S., arguing the move violates Trump’s own trade agreement from his last term.
A surprising amount of ‘American’ media is filmed and produced in Canada.
TorontoVancouver is like Hollywood North. This would probably be a footgunVancouver is a huge TV filming location as well.
Ugh, I feel like a dummy. I was picturing BC in my mind and typed out Toronto. You’re 100% correct about Vancouver
Toronto is used for pretty much any scenes set in NYC though
No problem, make exceptions for anything that was made involving Canada!
Producers like to film in Toronto while pretending that it’s NYC. X-Men and What We Do In The Shadows are the first things that come to mind. I still find it hilarious that the “Westchester” Train Station in X1 is in Hamilton (I believe)
A more subtle crossover is that Ramona (Scott Pilgrim) is from NYC
Stargate SG-1, full of blatant military propaganda (I know it’s not so bad, but), was filmed there.
