Canada: scifi nation

From Marsha Lederman of the Globe and Mail:

How Canada is becoming the sci-fi nation
Canada has a rich history of American shows coming up north to shoot. That’s particularly so in Vancouver, where The X-Files was a game-changer way back, and continues today with series like Supernatural.

  • Syfy Ends ‘Sanctuary’ Run After Four Seasons

The move was not a surprise, in that the show, starring Amanda Tapping and executive produced by her, Damian Kindler and Martin Wood, was not part of the network’s recently announced upfront slate for 2012-13.
