The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has a great selection of "scenic backdrops" you can rent for your next low-budg film-shoot: these include street-scenes and nature bits from all around Toronto (and elsewhere) printed at very high resolution on banners big enough to drape behind your marionettes, porn shoot, or conspiracy video.
