I just thought of an interesting thing. Having lived a chunk of my life in and certainly having shuttled back and forth to and from Los Angeles a great deal, I always felt it was remarkable that a little café I would always go to was usually populated at any given time about 50% by Canadians.
The Canadian creative community in Hollywood is enormous. So it's not an issue of Canadians not having the ability to create quality content; the issue is that the resources aren't here. It's shameful that they have to leave. Often it's only those real soldiers who don't leave, such as the two people at the end of this table and others like them, who actually commit to staying here. It is a tough job to produce content in Canada. It is not about quality. It's not about talent. We have it here, and the problem is that sometimes they have to leave to continue their careers.
