What do democracy and doughnuts have in common?

​

Nothing in the middle.

​

Owls, Doughnuts, and Democracy is the satirical adventures of Bea who, with a motley coalition spanning the political spectrum, put the middle back in democracy.

​

Bea, an outspoken millennial woman with a colourful past, gets it all going when she’s voluntold to help at a senior’s home. She teaches octogenarian Harold, the resident curmudgeon ex-MP, to use the internet. A troll is created, leading to an app for people to vote individually on bills before parliament. The Direct Democracy party is born, challenging the traditional Canadian party system.

Enraged by this underdog organization, the establishment threatens to take what little life Bea has: custody of her kid, her Star Wars secret, and her love interest, a guy who deposits banned books into little libraries.

​

Can a family of owls, a love of performance art, and a hatred of cyclists propel Bea to Ottawa? Find out in this rollicking ODD tale that could only happen in Victoria BC.
