  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

  • Paul Haggis's Televisual Oeuvre
    Subverting Stereotypes from London, Ontario to Los Angeles, California: A Review and Analysis of Paul Haggis's Televisual Oeuvre Marsha Ann Tate ABD, Mass Communications Program College of Communications The Pennsylvania State University 115 Carnegie Building University Park, PA 16802 Email: [email protected] Last updated: June 3, 2005 @ 10:08 p.m. Paper presented at the 2005 Film Studies Association of Canada (FSAC) Conference, University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada Subverting Stereotypes from London, Ontario to Los Angeles, California -- M. A. Tate 2 Abstract Paul Haggis's recent forays into the feature film milieu have garnered the London, Ontario native widespread critical acclaim. Serving as a co-producer, director, and/or writer for a series of high- profile motion pictures such as Million Dollar Baby and Crash have propelled Haggis to Hollywood's coveted "A list" of directors and writers. Nonetheless, prior to his entrée into feature filmmaking, Mr. Haggis already enjoyed a highly distinguished career as a creator, producer, and writer in the North American television industry. A two-time Emmy Award recipient, Paul Haggis's television oeuvre encompasses an eclectic array of prime time sitcoms and dramas. Starting out as a writer for situation comedies such as Facts of Life and One Day at a Time, Mr. Haggis later moved on to created notable dramas including Due South, EZ Streets, and Family Law. Subversion of widely held stereotypes and showcasing society's myriad moral ambiguities are hallmarks of Haggis's dramatic endeavors in both television and feature films. While the two techniques have helped produce powerful and thought-provoking dramas, on occasion, they also have sparked controversies.

  • Press Kit Falling Angels
    Falling Angels A film by Scott Smith Based on the novel by Barbara Gowdy With Miranda Richardson Callum Keith Rennie Katherine Isabelle RT : 101 minutes 1 Short Synopsis It is 1969 and seventeen year old Lou Field and her sisters are ready for change. Tired of enduring kiddie games to humour a Dad desperate for the occasional shred of family normalcy, the Field house is a place where their Mom’s semi-catatonic state is the result of a tragic event years before they were born. But as the autumn unfolds, life is about to take a turn. This is the year that Lou and her sisters are torn between the lure of the world outside and the claustrophobic world of the Field house that can no longer contain the girls’ restless adolescence. A story of a calamitous family trying to function, Falling Angels is a story populated by beautiful youthful rebels and ill-equipped parents coping with the draw of a world in turmoil beyond the boundaries of home and a manicured lawn. 2 Long Synopsis Treading the fine line between adolescence and adulthood, the Field sisters have all but declared war on their domineering father. Though Jim Field (Genie and Gemini winner Callum Keith Rennie ) runs the family house like a military camp, it’s the three teenaged daughters who really run the show and baby-sit their fragile mother Mary, (Two-time Oscar ® nominee Miranda Richardson) as she quietly sits on the couch and quells her anxiety with whiskey. It’s 1969 and beneath suburbia’s veneer of manicured lawns and rows of bungalows, the world faces explosive social change.

  • CBC-TV Toronto Heading Backwards on Cancon Mandate Review Needed to Put CBC Back on Track
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 29 June, 2006 CBC-TV Toronto heading backwards on Cancon Mandate review needed to put CBC back on track Toronto – The current senior management of CBC has turned back the clock almost 15 years when it comes to presenting Canadian programs during prime time on CBC- TV in Toronto, according to new research about what’s on TV released today by the broadcast watchdog group Friends of Canadian Broadcasting. “This is further evidence that the current management of the CBC is adrift with no vision. It’s time for Canadians to have their say through a CBC mandate review the government of Canada should launch quickly,” Friends spokesperson Ian Morrison said. A “Canadianization strategy” adopted by previous CBC management teams resulted in a steady increase in the presentation of Canadian programs during prime time on CBC-TV between 1990 and 2000. “CBC-TV’s success at shedding foreign programs from its prime time schedule through the 1990’s has been almost completely undone by President Rabinovitch and his senior management at CBC,” said Friends spokesperson Ian Morrison. According to Friends’ research, CBC-TV’s Toronto prime time schedule in the Spring of 2006 featured 4.5 hours of foreign programs every week during prime time, compared to 5.5 hours in 1990. CBC-TV Toronto prime time broadcast of foreign programs during Spring 6 k 5 Rabinovitch Years 4 3 2 Hours per wee per Hours 1 0 1990 2000 2002 2004 2006 “These data are consistent with the recent decision by CBC management to bump The National from its usual time slot on Tuesday nights this summer to make way for a simulcast American reality show,” Morrison said.

No. J2-441/2017E-PDF The Costs of Charter Litigation Introduction The enactment of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 fundamentally altered both the substance and form of constitutional review. In the first decade of Charter litigation, many novel claims were advanced and resolved, yet there still remained a great deal of confusion with respect to the scope of the substantive principles and the procedural mechanisms for raising and applying them. After 35 years, most of the relevant constitutional principles have been solidified and clarified, as have the guidelines on the procedures for mounting a constitutional challenge.
