Youcanseeifshe'sok,ortell HR.Butifyoudon'thelpher, you'rehelpinghim. manitoba.ca #WhoWillYouHelp D elmer & Marta is an original, comedic sneak peek web series that's inspired by two characters from the network's hit series CAUTION: May Contain Nuts (CMCN). They were so popular that APTN made its first web series featuring this curiously odd couple! From the over the edge, award-winning humour of CMCN come Delmer & Marta, and they're going to take over Morningside, Alberta, like a swirling storm of loose hay bales! And Kevin McDonald of The Kids in the Hall has joined the cast. It's similar to classic Canadian sketch comedy with the right amount of Indigenous shenanigans. Log on and look out for this lovable duo as Marta becomes a host for a local TV show. Her endearing antics and personality are sure to be a hit, and Marta is going for it – potential awards and all. Watch the sneak peek of Delmer & Marta at aptn.ca/delmerandmarta/ Before and throughout the holidays, APTN presents programming inspired by activism, an international trek to discover the meaning of Christmas, a special holiday performance by a well-known Métis actor and a Canadiana Christmas. APTN Movies features the critically- acclaimed film The Activist. Set at a prison and Wounded Knee, South Dakota in 1973, this insurrection is centered on 72 days of confrontation between the American Indian Movement and federal authorities. During the rebellion, Marvin and Bud, two Native American activists, are arrested and thrown in jail. While in prison, a representative of President Nixon visits them as well as a Senator and a Hollywood star. What interest do these high profile individuals have in the uprising? The Activist premieres December 3 at 9:00 p.m. (MT) on APTN West. Now for the festive season! What does the holiday season mean to you? Get into the holiday week with Journey to Christmas. Watch this four- part documentary series and follow five Canadians to Israel as they visit places associated with celebrating the season.
