You didn't start the fire that's burning "The House that ACTRA built" Kate Ziegler but you and your RCAP contemporaries on #ACTRA Toronto Council have played a huge role in keeping it going.

#ACTRAToronto President Ziegler's Canadian Comrade "ALL for us and ONLY for us" prattle is fodder for an episode of 'South Park'.

#ACTRAToronto President Ziegler would say "there's nothing wrong with being a waitress" to avoid alienating the workers who make so much less than a working actress

Thousands of #ACTRAToronto union members are questioning their place within #ACTRA Toronto itself.

And they're questioning ACTRA Toronto's place within ACTRA National.

They aren't thinking about ACTRA Toronto or ACTRA National's place within the labour movement.

What next?

Are the #ACTRAToronto union members who've been losing the bet that they placed on themselves going to DEMAND that the Ontario taxpayers reimburse every SOL 'Artist' for every losing lottery ticket that they buy along the way?

#ACTRAToronto President Ziegler isn't the first #ACTRA Toronto representative to 'borrow' (steal) from an American icon to promote Canadian Culture.

Here's former ACTRA Toronto Councillor Colin Mochrie bastardizing an MLK Jr. speech :

Are you going to ask Labor Notes for advice on how to sell unemployed US workers in the film & tv industry on the idea that they'll be standing up to Donald Trump if they keep their mouths shut about all the American jobs that are leaving the US?

The video of the American Conference where you described how YOUR Canadian union leaders jerked you around isn't a deep fake, Kate Ziegler

Are you going to LIE and say that you weren't trashing them at 31:44 in this video?

On April 21, 2024 you told a packed audience at the Labor Notes Conference in the US that you were promptly removed from #ACTRAToronto 's bargaining team for being untrustworthy, Comrade Ziegler.
