About this listen
What do democracy and doughnuts have in common?
Nothing in the middle.
Owls, Doughnuts, and Democracy is the satirical adventures of an outspoken millennial woman with a colourful past named Bea, who, with a motley coalition spanning the political spectrum, puts the middle back into democracy.
Bea gets it all going when she’s volunteered to help at a senior’s home. She teaches octogenarian Harold, the resident curmudgeon and ex-MP troll, to use the internet, leading to an app for people to vote individually on bills before parliament. Direct democracy 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 owl-loving child, 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 tale that could only happen in Victoria, BC.
Owls, Doughnuts, and Democracy has adult language and concepts.
