.@Telefilm_Canada: Why are you investing in producers who haven’t signed fair contracts - which protect everything from health & safety to making sure creatives, casts & crews get paid?
Norman Jewison
1926-2024
We mourn the loss of our founder and visionary, Norman Jewison - national icon, brilliant storyteller, passionate humanitarian, steadfast mentor and friend, compassionate human, and a devoted husband and father. 1/5
The Directors Guild of Canada backs our friends & colleagues at the WGC unequivocally in their pursuit of a fair & equitable contract for their members.

The DGC sends it’s strongest support to our friends in the #DGA who continue to bargain with US studios. We need fair deals for all the guilds and unions in the US, and we need creatives back to work. What we desire for ourselves, we wish for all. #FightingForOurFuture
I am boycottting these union busting brands until they instruct their ad agencies to bargain fairly with ACTRA performers who have been locked out for nearly a year. https://t.co/SX9LoCuqbU

We wouldn't let foreign business pay lower taxes in Canada than 🇨🇦 shops.
We wouldn't hold foreign business to lower safety standards.
Why let US streaming giants invest less in original 🇨🇦 film+TV?
👉RT to tell @SenateCA to stop the #DoubleStandard, amend #C11 & pass it now!
