Frankly I don't really care if Canada or India is the bigger outsourcing destination and I don't see why you're getting so hung up on the specific country. The fact of the matter is Dreamworks TV laid off their entire HUB staff in favor of Indian vendor studios (not Dreamworks Bangalore. Mikros is one example.), and there is no job market in America (look at the "Careers" pages for every American studio you listed).

I don't know why I'm debating this with someone who is so far removed from anything actually going on.

This is what's happening. These are the facts. If you refuse to accept them, that's your own internal biases, not mine.

You clearly seem hung up on one country over another, and continue to ignore the specifics of the situation or any nuance to the situation. I think that speaks volumes. Especially when Dreamworks TV has been heavily outsourced based since the beginning. Just look at how many of their shows are produced at Bardel in Vancouver.

Anyway, agreed there's no point arguing with someone who has no actual roots in this industry. Have a good day, I hope your partner finds work soon, but maybe don't place the blame where it doesn't belong.

You're hung up on India bro. I mentioned them in passing as that's where that specific department was laid off in favor of, then went back and edited that out when you commented the first time. You've been making this whole thread about India when the point is the job market. The country is incidental to everyone but you.
