No doubt that many of our best and most talented writers, producers and actors get lured to the next door US by higher dollars and a bigger stage, which has certainly limited anglo-Canada's locally focussed film culture, but this isn't due to some lack of cultural identity. On the other side of the coin, why does Canada not get credit for the works of Canadians like Mike Myers, John Candy, Lorne Micheals or James Cameron?
Your seething and generally nonsensical resentment toward Toronto and anglo-Canada is genuinely comical. Some girl from London/Toronto must have done a real number on you.

Well! Such a dick-faced response!
You must be from Toronto..
Let's see:
"AAA movies play all over the world" Yeah but, most countries still manage to sustain their own movie industry. And really? You consider Spiderman 12 to be AAA?
Anyhow..
"Quebec movies are in French, most Canadians don't speak French"
Well so much for that popular misconception. I thought we were an Officially Bilingual Country? lol! We're so proud of telling everybody that..
I've always thought that most Canadians were capable of reading English subtitles. If not, then how could we be capable of watching anything other than "AAA" movies? All but English language movies ??? Aren't we multicultural? Or, does that just apply to restaurants and slave labour?
And yeah you're right: I've had my heart broken by Ontarians, Scots, Yanks, Aussies, Germans, Dutch.. that comes with the territory when you're a perennial OutOfTowner! So what?
What about you, idiot? you seem seem like a tinfoil construction hat, height-obsessed, canyon jockey loser.. like most of the Torontonians on this site.
Are you World Class??
My point is that us English Canadians can't make a movie that we will all watch if our life depended on it whereas Quebec does this regularly.
You're an idiot so I can understand why you missed that.
