Canada
The term "Hollywood North" has been used to describe aspects of Canadian film and television production since the late 1970s, even appearing in the titles of books (i.e. Hollywood North: The Feature Film Industry in British Columbia) and films (Hollywood North). The title has been claimed by both Vancouver, British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario, although it is also used generically as a description of the entire Canadian film industry.

Famous quotes containing the word canada:
“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerable—I mean for us lucky white men—is the fact that there is so much less of government with us.... But in Canada you are reminded of the government every day. It parades itself before you. It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In Canada an ordinary New England house would be mistaken for the château, and while every village here contains at least several gentlemen or “squires,” there is but one to a seigniory.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I see Canada as a country torn between a very northern, rather extraordinary, mystical spirit which it fears and its desire to present itself to the world as a Scotch banker.”
—Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
