Oh yea .. ive worked for a Canada company in the past. And ive traveled internationally to do work in to many countries including China. And Canada has one of the harder borders to cross if you say you're going to do any work ...the Canadian are really hard ass about that. They will hold you up if you say your going to do any work

Canada's kind of schizophrenic on things they're terrified of being overshadowed by the United States to the point they have the Canadian content law on their broadcast TV and radio..so many hours must on broadcast media must be of Canadian origin material

That Canadian law was the origin of one of my favorite TV comedy bits Bob and Doug McKenzie Great White North on SCTV

When Second City TV out of Chicago got busted for not enough Canadian content Second City TV members and Canadians Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas came up with this 5-minute bit just to satisfy the Canadian law and goose the Canadian bureaucrats a bit

The Second City comedy club is in Chicago, but the Second City TV series was produced in Canada.

Mostly in Toronto. A couple of seasons in Edmonton.
