You didn't start the fire that's burning "The House that ACTRA built" Kate Ziegler but you and your RCAP contemporaries on #ACTRA Toronto Council have played a huge role in keeping it going.

#ACTRAToronto President Ziegler's Canadian Comrade "ALL for us and ONLY for us" prattle is fodder for an episode of 'South Park'.
The commercial lockout in Canada will be 4 1/2 yrs old in Oct

Kate would have found plenty wrong with being a waitress if she wasn't making enough money to keep her house
@hollyweirdnorth.bsky.social"This is a house on fire. The Industry is watching ACTRA Toronto closely, uncertain who -or what- can be trusted."

@hollyweirdnorth.bsky.socialThousands of #ACTRAToronto union members are questioning their place within #ACTRA Toronto itself.
And they're questioning ACTRA Toronto's place within ACTRA National.
They aren't thinking about ACTRA Toronto or ACTRA National's place within the labour movement.
@hollyweirdnorth.bsky.socialAnd each year, the number of #ACTRAToronto union members who become aware of just how divided the union is from within grows exponentially.
Thousands of #ACTRA Toronto union members are communicating with one another in the same way that the RCAP communicated with them,Kate
@hollyweirdnorth.bsky.social@hollyweirdnorth.bsky.socialWhat would #ACTRAToronto President Kate Ziegler say/do if a large number of Canadian film & tv productions chose to set up shop in a foreign country?
Jobs that would have been filled by Canadian #ACTRA members if those productions had remained in Canada would be filled by workers in another country
@hollyweirdnorth.bsky.social"If you break down the Artist's capacity to tell stories,the stories that tell people where they're at,the climate,the culture,and fuel back to them the poetry of existence,you have won at decimating humanity's ability to stand up for itself"!?!
What a kook!
#ACTRAToronto isn't a WRITERS union
@hollyweirdnorth.bsky.social"The tariff fight is absolutely focused on Artists"!?!
Hardly anybody in Canada cares about the stories that the 'Artists' in #ACTRAToronto want to tell Canadians.
The only thing the Artists in SAG-AFTRA are focused on is getting American productions to stay in the US.
