ACTRA president, Richard Hardacre, has it right.
"No amount of tinkering, layering or manoeuvring will resolve the fundamental problem of the de facto control of CanWest and Alliance Atlantis by Goldman Sachs in this deal."

The "real" crisis with striking Writers...
I haven't been posting much, due to a move and its inherent complications BUT -
the real crisis with this strike is the fact that the writer's issues are but a microcosm of what is *really* happening in the world today. The writer's are you and me for one reason only:
THEY'RE BROKE AFTER TWO WEEKS!!!!
They are more than likely in the vast majority (meaning: how many of us are in the same boat?), and that's the real wake-up call.
Forget not being able to watch a favorite TV show. How shallow is that? TV? What about not being able to "get by" after only a mere two weeks of being on strike. Writer's are the middle-class of Hollywood. They make middle-class money. They're broke after two weeks off the job.
Holy crap we're in for a shit storm. And TV has absolutely nothing to do with it.
