While the Canadian government demands Netflix Inc. offer more details about the streaming company's plans to spend $500 million on making 'Canadian Content', Netflix confirmed they will spend money on movies/TV shows produced in Canada, both in English and in French, over the next five years, as well as set up the company's first permanent production presence outside of the US:
"We have invested in Canada because Canadians make great global stories," Netflix said. "That says more about the quality and strength of Canadian content, talent and crew than a commitment of any dollar amount."
The company will also spend an additional $25 million on "...market development activities to host pitch days, recruitment events and support local cultural events...
"...to ensure Netflix Canada reaches vibrant Canadian production communities, including the French-language community in Quebec."
"We have not made any deals about taxes. Our investment was approved under the 'Investment Canada Act'. No tax deals were part of the approval to launch our new Canadian presence."
"Netflix follows tax laws everywhere we operate. Under Canadian law, foreign online services like Netflix aren't required to collect and remit sales tax.
"Internet-native, on-demand services like Netflix are consumer-driven and operate on the open internet.
"We don't use public property like broadcast spectrum or rights of way, and we don't receive the regulatory protections and benefits that broadcasters get and, by the way, we're not asking for them."
"The recent price increase has nothing to do with our investment or commitments. That price increase was planned a long time ago."

Now that "Deadpool 2" has wrapped principal photography,the British Columbia workplace safety agency 'WorkSafeBC', released their findings into the on-set death of 40-year old motorcyclist, road racer, Joi 'SJ' Harris, who was killed performing an early morning stunt, August 14, 2017:
"...near Jack Poole Plaza in downtown Vancouver, the stunt required a 'Ducati 939 Hyperstrada' motorcycle to speed through the open doors of a building...
"...across a concrete pad and down a temporary ramp that was built over three stairs, coming to a stop on the stair landing.
"During the first shooting of the scene the stunt driver continued driving beyond the planned stopping point on the stairway landing and continued to drive down a second ramp built over the bottom stairs and across the roadway.
"The motorcycle struck the concrete sidewalk curb, the worker was thrown off the motorcycle..."...and propelled through a plate glass window of a building."
WorkSafeBC is continuing to investigate.
Although Harris was an experienced rider, this was her first film stunt, called in to replace another stunt performer...
...to double the character 'Domino' (Zazie Beetz).
Harris was not given a helmet to wear "...because the character was not wearing one", even though production could have provided her with head protection and an 'afro' wig fitted over.
Production on the film was suspended after the accident, but resumed two days later.

Take a look @ new footage from Freeform's Vancouver-lensed, one-hour 'mermaid' drama series "Siren", debuting June 2018 :
"...'Bristol Cove' is a coastal town known for its legend of once being home to 'mermaids'.
"When the arrival of a mysterious girl proves this folklore all too true, the battle between man and sea takes a very vicious turn as these predatory beings return to reclaim their right to the ocean..."
Cast includes Alex Roe ("The 5th Wave") as 'Ben', a bright marine biologist who finds himself drawn to 'Ryn', a mysterious new girl in town played by Eline Powell ("Game of Thrones"), who is a strange young woman with a deep dark secret.

Ian Verdun ("Life’s a Drag") stars as 'Xander', a deep sea fisherman on a quest to uncover the truth and Rena Owen ("Star Wars” Episodes II and III") is 'Helen', the town eccentric who seems to know more about the mermaids than she lets on.
