In which I share impressions about “one of the most enchanting, culturally significant little video clips I’ve seen for a long time,” and praise CTV News anchor Nathan Downer for airing the “non-consensual," COVID-unfriendly kiss,” featuring two adorable young people in Toronto’s Trinity Bellwoods Park. HERE IS THE VIDEO DISCUSSED: https://youtu.be/rDCI_rY1WzM BACKDROP STORY: https://www.thestar.com/life/2020/05/22/ctv-issues-apology-after-video-shows-non-consensual-kiss.html CORRECTION: Instead of “Nathan Downer apologized for intuitively ‘ruining,’ the video clip,” I should have said “running,” obviously.

"On a personal note: POTUS is why I became an American Woman. I naturalized because of Donald J. Trump. Naturally, I had always been down with the founding documents and the Founding Fathers. But because of Uncle Sam’s depredation and unjust wars, I wasn't feeling it. Until ... Trump. https://www.ilanamercer.com/the-trump-revolution/ If I were I black commentator, I have no doubt this bit of information, divulged first in this column, https://www.ilanamercer.com/2020/10/lizard-brains-love-potus-kvetching-covid-joe-must-go/ would have generated a greater interest in our conservative circles. In any case, and very plainly, I urge you to consider my support for POTUS, in the context of my capacity as a longtime writer against war and against the state and for ordered liberty – a writer who also wrote a 2011 book about the demise of South Africa due to forces not dissimilar to those undermining America. http://www.ilanamercer.com/cannibals-pot/ I anatomized that destruction of my homeland South Africa in "Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa," so I know that this election is the tipping point for America. Those of us who lost a homeland recognize it.
