Yeah, a lot of old English dubs of anime used Vancouver-based talent, due to the favorable exchange rate between US and Canadian dollars at the time for the US licensing company. That's why you can look at practically any VA for FiM and know that they've also done a bunch of anime in the past. Nowadays, that exchange rate is less favorable, so most of those dubs nowadays are either recorded around the Los Angeles area (which makes sense, since that's the major production center of the English speaking world) or in Texas (since one of the major players in anime, FUNimation, is based there, and they also own their own recording studio there).

Sorry, sometimes I like to ramble on about topics only tangentially related to the original post.
