[ficlet] Our National Dream - Little Canada

[whatsnewlu.livejournal.com]

Title: "Our National Dream"
Author/Artist: Furb ("Furb Garten" on tumblr)
Character(s) or Pairing(s): young Canada; Sir John A. Macdonald (first Prime Minister)
Rating: E for everyone
Warnings: Early Canadian history, angst. (Possible historical inaccuracy)
Summary: Little Canada is optimistically adjusting to life as a new nation, but one morning he is faced with the sudden, cruel truth that he must continue this journey alone, and say goodbye to Mr Macdonald, (Sir John A. Macdonald) the first and only Prime Minister he’d loved as both a mentor and a father.

( This man was the first person to ever address him as “Canada” but still often called him by his name, and Matthieu wondered almost every day how Mr Macdonald would react if he knew that this little boy thought of him as his very own father. )

Second ficlet! As a Canadian, this part of western-Canadian history always made me very sad -- All that Sir John A. Macdonald did for Canada and the production of the CPR, and the development as a nation independant from the USA, only to be forced to resign because of slanderous rumours -- and I was near tears while writing this.
