For the Entertainment Bussiness it SUCKS. More and more work is going North of the border. One of course is cost. It's cheaper to film in Canada. You can take a 40 million dollar pic that's made here in the PNW and go up to Vancouver and make it for 28 million (US).

Sure it's a bussiness and it all revoles around the dollars and cents, but what hurts the people that work here in the States is the fact WE can't go over the Border to work. Only those in "Key" positions, (ie: Directors, Actors, DP's [Director of Photography] 1st AD's and other "Key" people), even then, the Canadain Flim Commission will want that project to use as many Canadaians as possible in those positions. But the Canucks can come down here and work on a project that was filmed up in Canada and then come down here to do some pick up shots. Then there is NO TARRIFF on the film going back over the Border into Toronto to be proccessed and developed, then released out of Toronto instead of L.A.

So for me, NAFTA is a mistake.
