Ahem. A goodly proportion of "American" sci-fi is shot in Canada.
(Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, Smallville...) The stuff which is
*labelled* Canadian is the stuff where the financing is Canadian, which
means that the special effects budget is about $49.95 per episode, so we
get blamed for travesties like Starlost.

It's not that we lack talent, just capital.

On the other hand, sometimes ingenuity can prevail over the budget. I
think Commander's Log is a hoot. Or, in film, my current favourite tool
for messing with people's heads is Phil the Alien. It's thoroughly bent.
