IATSE is hailing the Canadian government’s efforts to save its arts and entertainment sector during the Covid-19 pandemic through loans and wage subsidies in what is being billed as Canada’s largest economic relief package since World War II. The plan, which still is working its way through the legislative process, also would require international digital companies like Netflix to remit federal sales tax on digital sales.
On Monday, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland unveiled the Fall Economic Statement, which includes several significant policy announcements for Canada’s hardest-hit businesses, including tourism, hospitality and arts & entertainment. Altogether, the plan will amount to 3%-4% of Canada’s Gdp, she said, and includes money for coronavirus vaccines and assistance to help provinces and territories improve Covid-19 infection control in long-term care facilities, as well as support for lower- and middle-income families.
The aid package will be implemented through a Highly Affected Sectors Credit Availability Program,...

The coronavirus pandemic crippled production around the world across many months, enforcing an unavoidable hiatus in business that has wreaked havoc on film and TV production schedules.

Here, Variety’s international team breaks down what you need to know about how film and TV production is faring in key markets as the industry slows comes back to life.

American farmers and manufacturers have been growing impatient for President Trump’s harebrained tariff scheme to pay dividends. The taxes the administration imposed earlier this year on steel and aluminum imports have wreaked havoc on a number of industries, leading to factory closures, job losses and the need for some companies, most notably Harley-Davidson, to shift some of their production overseas. Trump has urged those affected to remain patient, teasing on Twitter that new trade deals are imminent. On Monday morning, the president tweeted about “a big deal looking good” with Mexico.

Third-wave feminist pioneer Naomi Wolf and Jezebel's Maureen Tkacik debate the recent Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexual assault case, and Tkacik's views are just...embarrassing.
Editor-at-Large Chrystia Freeland moderated this interview between the two women for Reuters.
Naomi Wolf, in case you don't know, is the author of controversial feminist works like The Beauty Myth and is largely credited with the advent of "third wave feminism", in which a new generation of feminists embraced each others' differences and decided feminism could be acted out in different ways (i.e. you can wear heels and look slutty and still be a feminist).
Maureen Tkacik ("Moe"), on the other hand, has had a career as a writer for corporate-owned, commodity-feminism-driven "women's website" Jezebel.com, and is the author of such journalistic masterpieces of great intellectual thought and feeling as 2008's "10 Days in the life of a Tampon" in which she describes fucking, like, ten...
