Well Chris, some fair questions to put this in context but I will chastise you
for not knowing the population of your own country!
There are 35 million people in Canada. These numbers reflect provinces with 10
million people and the majority of production is in Vancouver, B.C. with the
common number of about $1 billion in annual production (mainly by American
productions).
In Eastern Canada, Toronto has a similar amount of spending to Vancouver ($1.2
billion) but with more domestic production. The province of Quebec has about
$700 million in production. I've read that overall, Canada has about $5 billion
in film & tv production but that includes money from the U.S and co-productions
with the U.K., France, etc.
In North America, the only cities with more film production than Vancouver and
Toronto are New York and Los Angeles. I couldn't find any hard numbers on the
leader, L.A., but in California the general number for the film industry is $25
billion and the overall U.S. production amount is $50 billion (with some money
being spent in Canada, Europe and wherever else they feel like).

I've had no idea how to read these numbers since they were kind of
delivered in a vacuum... how do they relate to 2011? 2009? How busy in
film is western canada compared to eastern? to north america? to europe?
How many customers does it represent? Its hard to extrapolate anything. It
would be interesting to get a larger set of numbers so real comparisons
would be made, although we would likely, unfortunately, just see a
downward trend.

Chris
