#New CHTV: If The Other Party Wins. Written by Streeter & me, and directed by Sam. This election has been all about fear and fear-mongering. Everyone’s terrified of everyone and everything.

As I watch this video, I wonder if something like this proposal is possible to currently implement in this country.

Thus, I chuckled a few minutes ago when I saw this headline about her father.
