The vast majority of #ACTRA Toronto's 15,000 members have never worked on a video game.
And they are highly unlikely to ever work on a video game.
Most of the voice work is being done by a comparably small number of #ACTRAToronto union members who have a resume full of voice work.
You're not honouring the talent or the resilience of the #ACTRAToronto union members who are earning less than $15,000 a year in the film, tv, and commercial industry when you cajole AFBS into being a Platinum Sponsor of the #ACTRAAwards
You're shamelessly thumbing your nose at the #ACTRA members.
How many #ACTRAToronto union members are identifying as "Indigenous"?
That would be important research to report.
How many #ACTRA union members are "Pretendians" like singer Buffy Ste. Marie and Canadian actress/writer Michelle Latimer who fooled everybody into thinking they were Indigenous?

ACTRA destroyed Sandi Ross's legacy in 2012.
ACTRA lowered the # of credits to become a Full ACTRA member from 6 to 3 credits for everybody -including Caucasians- in 2012.

Will #ACTRA reduce the # of credits that a 'BIPOC' performer needs to become a Full #ACTRAToronto Member?
Sandi Ross lowered the # of credits that a performer who identified as a "visible minority" needed to become a Full ACTRA Toronto Member from 6 to 3 when she was the ACTRA Toronto President.
The #CdnScreenAwards have "kneecapped" the foreign actor competition this year ( 2026 ) by changing the eligibility rule.
If 'you' ( Canada ) can't beat 'them' ( US ) change the rule to keep them out of the contest.

You're always "thrilled"/ "excited"/ "happy" to celebrate any #ACTRAToronto production regardless of the quality of the production.
You were just as "thrilled"/ "excited"/ "happy" when you promoted the stomach churning #ACTRA Toronto productions "Robyn Hood" and "Starfleet Academy".

Does an #ACTRAToronto union member have a choice in regards to what they would personally allow a production that isn't a signatory to #ACTRA 's IPA to do with their voice?

Is #ACTRA warning #ACTRAToronto members not to provide their voice to train AI models because of what could be done with their voices or is ACTRA threatening to punish any member who would choose to provide their voice to train AI models on productions that aren't a signatory to ACTRA's IPA?

Did #ACTRAToronto Councillor Tamara Podemski hand out the thespian equivalent of the NDP's insane 'yellow cards' to the Indigenous-identifying members who attended ACTRA Toronto's 1st Indigenous Gathering?

What about the voices of the cisgender female #ACTRAToronto members who have a problem with trans female #ACTRA members presuming to lecture them on what it means to be a real woman?
You aren't championing their right to have an opinion
Former #ACTRA National President Ferne Downey:
"As hard and disappointing as this is to hear, the EIC Board made a sane and professional decision in light of the withdrawal of support by ACTRA Toronto Council."

ACTRA's discriminatory 'Attachment to the Workplace' rule denies Indigenous #ACTRAToronto union members who didn't get any work under a current NCA contract the right to vote on an upcoming NCA contract
You don't have any 'say' if you didn't work
#ACTRA #indigenous #loved !?!
#ACTRAToronto 's discriminatory 3 credits for Full ACTRA membership rule doesn't take how difficult it is for Indigenous performers to earn 3 credits into consideration.
An Indigenous performer has the same chance that a Caucasian performer has according to the rule
(from #ACTRAToronto 's response to EIC statement)
"Rest assured that #ACTRA Toronto continues to support and advocate for performers and will be available to its membership with respect to any issues or enquiries regarding agent representation"
( the restless members on FB aren't feeling assured)
My dad an I attended the 1st ACTRA Toronto Indigenous Gathering and met a lot of good people with outstanding accomplishments, feeling loved. ❤️

(Speaking of Law & Order in Toronto)
Keith Suburban:
"You should really think about getting new lawyers, Tova.
#ACTRA 's stability is reliant on what the labour board doesn't know about ACTRA's inner dealings???
Do you realise how shady that sounds?"
#ACTRA 's solvency as a union relies on "thousands of #ACTRAToronto Apprentices" NOT becoming Full Members?!?!?
It's a rigged game from the outset.
