Actually, the Canadian performers' union now known as ACTRA (similar to 
AFTRA)

        Radio Artists of Toronto Society was formed in 1940.
        Performers in Vancouver, Montreal and Winnipeg followed suit with 
similar union councils, and they all coalesced in 1943 as Alliance of 
Canadian Radio Artists (ACRA).
