There are certainly monetary benefits on several levels, especially with the Canadian economy being so much more stable - at the moment - than America's. Today, for example, our stock market was the only one in the western world that closed higher than it opened.
It's a very short flight up the coast to Vancouver.
Lots and lots of TV shows and movies are filmed there, including things like the Stargate franchise and BSG in the past.
