Canadian actors push for more diversity in television, film casting

How come these guys definition of diversity does not include First Nation actors! Only more Asians or Black's but not First Nation people how is that diversity. The industry does not include any FN ppl in TV ads sitcoms or movies so unless they include FN ppl it is not diversity

How about a push for less crappy canadian content?

I would be happy with better shows

CBC is leading with this. Maybe if CTV shopped buying American shows and created creating their own shows (like CBC) they might be able to improve the diversity on their network.

Of course they do

Why not the best person for the part. Crazy, I know. Darn my normal common sense brain. This world has an epidemic.

Wtf are you talking about? Have you watched tv recently? They’re all foreigners.

More diversity in the news media is warranted.

Do you mean more over representation?

Do they mention that all must join their union to get a role? Pay every year regardless of if they get a role or not? uniincashgrab

This should also include actors w/ REAL disabilities!

So what your saying is Canadian films are going to be even worse then they already are?

Oh, as if the country's borders, work places, govt offices, etc were not enough, now you want the 'Diversity' nonsense in entertainment industry too. No other word has been more badly misused than this 'Diversity' to hide the wrongdoings by politicians esp Justin Trudeau Liberals
