Resolved Question: Has anyone ever head of CA Talent Agencies In Toronto?

I sent a demo to them for voice-over work. A gentleman from there called me and told me in no uncertain terms he wants to sign me. Then he advised me it would cost $225.00 to put me on something called "Breakdown Express" which he said would advertise my talent for possible clients for one year. My concern is that I read on greatvoice.com, which is supposed a premier resource for V/O talent that no legitimate agency needs money up front; real agencies get paid AFTER you get work. Has anyone worked with CA Talent, or can point me in the right direction? I don't have a lot of money, so $225.00 is a lot for me to just burn on another scam. more

Resolved Question: Advertising jobs in Auckland or Vancouver?

I've currently have a few job offers with several multi-national ad agencies in Auckland earning around 100K per year, in Vancouver I have an agency position paying about 85K, so the same, but it seems the NZ opp is actually more interesting then in Vancouver. Anyone have any thoughts on ad industry in Auckland vs. Vancouver? I just moved from Toronto and NYC and now need to stay whether to stay here or go to Auckland. I've already worked in OZ. I find Vancouver a bit too regional and Auckland more international in the advertising field. What is the cost of living in Auckland vs. Vancouver. House is $$$ here in Vancouver and even though many are leaving NZ and housing is pricey in Auckland, for me I find it pretty cheap, much cheaper then here in Vancouver. Cars and consumer goods cost more, but then again I think it's all relative. Only thing that that scares me a bit is reading how many people are leaving NZ for Australia, is it really tha more

Resolved Question: Whether the Travel Agencies Must be found Liable for Advertising of Tourism to Toronto, where Bedbugs, Toxic?

White Canadian Mayor and White City Officials really have not shown no responsibility for the public heath. SARS, Bedbugs, Noise Pollution, Dust and Gas pollution, and worst Toxic Moulds are problems that the City has obligation to investigate them and find proper answer for these serious health issue. My court files and complaints are proofs the since 1991 the City of Toronto did not take any proper steps to remove noise and toxic mould problems from our Condominium at College Street. http://nourhaghighi.com/cond.html more
