A Dear John Letter
Dear John,
I regret to inform you that several high schools
bearing your once proud name are considering
removing it and replacing it with a more generic name
like high school 53, or John Doe High School,
sad to tell you that a statue in your likeness
has been removed from a government building
in Victoria, you know that city where you built
that scandalous railroad that cost you an election.
I know, John, historians generally see you as our most
influential Prime Minister of all time, even in the West,
I mean if you couldn’t beat out Trudeau, I know you’ve
never met...just saying. If only you had gone lighter
on Riel and the Metis and that whole deal with the
residential schools, I mean for I guy who valued books
like you it wasn’t your best move. But all in all you did
help unite this factious, geographical enigma into a quasi
distinct whole and saved us from our crazy southern
neighbours. God if you could only see what’s happening
there now. But enough of that...
Anyway thanks for Canada, but really sorry about the statue thing!

Well said, a humourous rebuttal to people who have spurned him.
