U.S. networks love our subsidies

Article Abstract:

US television broadcasting companies are taking advantage of the benefits offered by Canada for productions in terms of government subsidies and tax breaks. These 'flag-of-convenience' productions have helped US broadcasters save hundreds of thousands of dollars by using actors and labor in Canada. One company that has taken such opportunities is Showtime, with productions that included 'The Outer Limits' and Total Recall 2070.' Canadian TV industry officials are divided over the practice by US broadcasters.
