Although Canada may not be the most popular country in the world, it is well known for its own little world in media, where it has produced many Canadian shows and movies such as Degrassi, Sherlock Holmes, Tarzan and much more, many of which are famouse, even here in America. It is also well known for its many famous actors featured in many of its Canadian media productions such as Drake, Justin Bieber, and Michael J Fox.
Canada, located just North of the United States is a rather large country, filled with some of the most well known cities in the world such as Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, many of which are homes of some of the biggest Media production Companies in the country. Toronto for one is home to the headquarters of MuchMusic, a music and television Channel owned by Bell Media, it is pretty much the Canadian version of MTV, where you can find many Canadian music Groups such as Billy Talent and The Skulls. Toronto is also home to CTV, a Television station working all through out the region for viewers bringing them many of the same shows you would see here in America, after all, Canadian Media is very similar to American Media. Despite these major three Canadian cities being the biggest film making cities in the country, many of the actors from there go to work in hollywood, thats one flaw for the Canadian Filmmaking industry. There are many flaws to the Canadian Filmmaking industry, aside from actors going to hollywood, a major flaw is the fact that the United States and Canada's Movie industries directly compete, and often, American films can appear more appealing to the viewers, this is the main difference between the American and Canadian Media. But overall the main importance to Canadian media and production is that it is very similar to the Media here in America and pretty much the same cultural trends, only sometimes in french, with all the music, famous actors, TV shows, and advertisement that are now part of our everyday life, only up North too!
