Canadian Actors in Actra Set To Strike


"As more Americans actors arrive in Toronto to replace the Canadian actors who, for years, have been playing American actors on American productions being fimed in Canada."

The Harpoville Post reports that 97% of Canadians actors belonging to Actra are set to strike on Monday January 8 if their demands are not met. The 21,000 members of Actra, the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Arts are set to strike across Canada, except for British Columbia, over wage disputs. It seems the producers that hire and pay the actors want Actra to include the internet as part of their broadcast umbrella. But Actra isn't sure where that might fit into their name Actra.

The Harpoville Post has learned the people who have run the over-priced, exclusive Canadian actors union really don't care if the actors faces and performances are plastered all over the internet, which they already are, they're just not sure on how to fit the letter 'I' into the word Actra. The union has suggested just adding the letter 'I', for the word internet, to the end of the word to form the new word Actrai, which would suit most of the American producers just fine, eh!
