1. She has a great voice! The message was funning and scary, all at the same time. Some of the visuals, well they had me laughing. I think they ought to play this song at least once a day everywhere. What it did for me, was half way through, change my mind about proportional representation. I think I might vote for it now.

   I was just watching Trey Goudy in the Congressional hearings, it was like the Macarthy hearings all over again, some rudeness, same everything, with worse haircuts. then you look at Doug Ford, no lets not, almost first out the gate, axing the new sex ed. program in Ontario and bringing back the old. Yes, perhaps we are too stupid for democracy. What people tend to think is the majority rules, but they forget the other part, NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MINORITY.

5. Anyone who believes we have a Democratic Government in Canada is ill informed at the very least. We have become the victims of a system of our own creation.
