With the election later today, I wrote a piece about the previous Conservative government of Canada. It was meant to be a limerick, rhyming and bouncing throughout the piece, but lost its appeal as the sentences wore on.
The CPC has been plagued by corruption, regulatory capture, and far-right Republican politics since before the 2016 presidential election. It is available on Medium.
This is some short prose about the previous Conservative Government(s) in Canada, a reign of terror that lasted from 2006–2015.
They drew their swords on all of us who were not oil barons or right-wing think-tank specialists or CEOs. Many of us became
second-class citizens
, many of us
lost our loved ones due to their psychopathic policies
, and many of us
suffered as our services were cut
by their pens, and our government failed us beyond reproach. This is by no means an exhaustive list, for that would be a Homeric epic of corrupt proportions.
Don’t forget to vote.
