Hey, Riker might not be Canadian, but William Shatner (68 yesterday!) and James Doohan are. Without those two, Kirk and Scotty might never have existed! So, Canada's OK by me...

Riker's from Alaska, and he's American, but hey, nobody's perfect The confusion may come from an episode of TNG when a group of junior officers (which the episode focuses on, I can't recall the name of the episode) mistakenly believe that Riker is from Canada, not Alaska.

One of the Junior officers was just trying to suck up to Riker because he thought it may help him get a promotion.

Anyway, I watch a lot of American TV, and it seems to me that almost everywhere outdoors in the US looks like a small forest outside Vancouver anyway, so it seem the Canadians have conquered the US.

Due to the low exchange rate, many production companies in the United States shoot movies, commercials, TV shows, etc and so on. And whenever they shoot it in Toronto, they always call it New York, or Chicago, or Boston, etc.etc.

Why can't there be a movie in which if they shoot it in Toronto, then the whole movie is based in Toronto?

I was being a wew bit sarcastic there you know? Liek every alien planet in TOS looking like a small desert outside of LA. Or like a poor studio set for that matter...

The only thing worst than the TOS having all their planet sets in stages is that the Next Generation had to do the same bloody thing.

Don't know if this fits into anything anymore.
To make it fit, I'll blame America. There it fits now but barely. (JK)
