Just to be clear, Hillary Clinton could straight up die and relay her orders to the oval office every morning via a fuckin ouija board and she’d STILL be a better president than Trump
canada sort of had this form of government for a while way back so. can confirm, necrocacy for the win
boy am I glad you asked
i’m gonna do this from memory so i’m sorry if the details are vague or a lil wrong… i am but a humble canadian history student.
so. it wasn’t a zombie. it was actually a oujia board a la OP’s idea. but see, the canadian public didn’t know about it — so it was like, a secret nercrocratic dictatorship. not a dictatorship, that is an exaggeration. but i mean… imagine the conspiracy theorists being like… the country is secretly run by ghosts… and they’re right about it.
basically, William Lyon Mackenzie King, canada’s on-again off-again PM during parts of WW1 and the depression and WW2 (he was super wishy-washy on stuff, which meant he lost office often, but also meant it was easy for him to get back into office) was secretly an edgy gothik preteen. and also an orphan. because he was a firm believer in the occult and privately used ouija boards to have consultations with his dead parents to make political decisions sometimes. that was a thing.
for example he communed with the ghosts to decide whether to declare war when hitler started being an ass and england was all like, yo, canada, we’re going to war and as you’ve recently been given autonomy we have to ASK you whether you wanna fight too. so King asked the ghost of his dead father and the dead father was like “nah son, hitler totally just got shot by some polish guy and is dead. you’re fine.”
spoiler alert, he wasn’t dead. but King of course trusted his dead dad who, being dead, is clearly the expert on death and dead things. which is why canada didn’t join WW2 right away. we didn’t get in on the conflict until later.
(of course, though, we didn’t learn about King’s involvement with the dead until he was dead himself and historians started going through his diaries like the creepers that historians are. i bet that was a bit of a shock…)
tl;dr a ghost dictated canada’s involvement in the second world war and shit was cray. you can watch the episodes of ‘canada: a people’s history’ pertinent to King’s lifetime and learn all about it. peace dog
Okay but I wanna know how the conversation went between Minister King and his dead dad the next time they were in contact. “Oh, wait, you meant that Adolf Hitler? Oops, sorry.”
