Saying that the production and presentation of Canadian programming “is in a state of collapse,” the Writers Guild of Canada revealed today that during the past five years, the aggregate earnings of its Canadian citizen members have declined by nearly 22%

“These numbers demonstrate the dire straits that Canadian screenwriters find themselves in,” said WGC President Alex Levine.

“The 22% drop in Canadian screenwriter earnings has been devastating to our members. Out of work writers are switching careers. Others are leaving the country. Our domestic industry is dying.”
