Canadian working in film over here. All our bosses fly in from the states, the company is American (usually with a temporary Canadian corporation underneath that will dissolve after the project) and half the actors and art talent are from the states.
And to address the propaganda angle, we are usually telling American stories anyways. Right now I’m working on a show about Muhammad Ali… All the set dressing is American…
But I did sneak some Roberson screws into a set. So hopefully the word gets out to the American people. You don’t have to live under the tyrant Phillips, we have a better way.
When in doubt, always go with cost reduction, margin expansion, and profit maximizing. Throw in some local tax credits and incentives for added flavor.

An all American movies being produced in canada. Why?
Genuine question.

Phillips can get bent. I’ve stripped way to many cheap screws with Philips heads.
If you know anyone working on Einstein or the recent Monk movie tell them I said “Go to hell.” They’ll probably get the joke lmao.
(It’s the writer’s catch phrase.)
(Btw, we have Robertson screws here, but they’re not very popular, instead the common upgrades are Torx or just Allen. Phillips does suck though.)
You just taught an Australian about Robertson screws. We do have them but I don’t know what they are called.
Certainly better then a Phillips head but I still think Torx wins
when the time comes for you to invade us, i will be helping you for your glorious square drive fasteners
Roberson screws are by far the most superior. I don’t understand why any company would manufacturer anything else.
Torx for the win
Which one? I have 15, 20, 25, and sometimes 30 in my pouch. I can almost tell them apart by eye these days…
Torx are lovely, but nothing beats a Robbie 90% of the time.
I’ve never heard of seen Robersons. I had to search online. Is it the square ones?
I’m personally a huge fan of hex sockets. I’ve had torx bits snap and twist before. Don’t think I have had problems with a hex.
