Summary: "The Masques of Ottawa" by Augustus Bridle is a satirical political commentary written in the early 20th century. This work explores the political landscape of Canada, focusing on the city of Ottawa and its notable political figures, revealing the complexities and absurdities of governance. The narrative likely weaves historical events with insights into the personalities of various leaders and their roles in shaping the nation's political theater." The opening of "The Masques of Ottawa" sets the tone for an exploration of the political dynamics in Canada, primarily focused on Ottawa as the capital. The narrator expresses a sense of detachment from the political sphere, pondering the city's beauty in contrast to the often mundane and disappointing nature of its politics. Through observations of key political figures, such as Arthur Meighen, the narrative critiques the performative aspects of politics, likening Parliament to a stage where politicians play their roles, often lacking the vision and gravitas expected of them. The chapter hints at the duality of life in Ottawa, where public aspirations collide with the mundane reality of political maneuvering, establishing a thematic framework for the critiques that will unfold throughout the book.
