Sunny Ways Idiocy
Of course it is most unfortunate and
can be of little comfort to you to remind
yourself that you never cast your ballot for
the man at the polls, when he becomes an
absurd embarrassment travelling abroad on
state visits, his self-reverential mannerisms
an affront to his hosts in his never-ending
mission to draw attention to his noted
exceptionalism, his youth, appearance and
of course his lack of experience in a
position as head of a country you are a
proud citizen of. His penchant for endless
photographic opportunities, his emotive
and tedious empathy for social variants
championing the rights of women, of
immigrants, Indigenous, LGBTQ2S+
in constant displays of sanctimonious
righteousness stale and rehearsed as befits
one to the stage born is worn and does
nothing to knit the fabric of society in a
cohesive whole; his firm insistence rather
a fracturing alienation withholding
public funding from any and all who defy
his injunction that everyone must worship at
the same altar he has made his own. His
grave disingenuousness not reflective of an
open mind in a learning curve but a very
special arrogance of believing he knows
what he does not. His pandering to an
audience known as a voting bloc of high
value and his strange fascination with
totalitarian governments for their envied
flexibility peculiar in one who values his
own progressive ideology leading him to
profess support in an alliance with those
whose agenda represents a dread threat
to the common weal in established and
well-supported democratic realities. If
any of these attributes relate to an
executive figure familiar to you, why then
you must by any account be Canadian!
