NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE

free counters











BY

JAMES BREDIN

The Feds tried to close down the Vancouver Insite clinic last year,
The Supreme Court said no way, that can’t be done around here,
So we too may eventually see the drug addicts on the street,
Walking to their many injection sites every day of the week.




Did the Charter shift power to the appointed secret-list judges?
Where there’s no need for government and we can’t have grudges,
Where there’s no need to think and binding referendums are banned,
And they want whorehouses, casinos and injection sites in our land.




We don’t seem to know or care much as we sit silently and watch,
As three injection sites, casinos and whorehouses go up a notch,
We seem to have forgotten all about the notwithstanding clause,
And less than half of us even bother to vote just because.




Could a legal-aid lawyer declare the notwithstanding clause?
To override the inflicted injection-sites left-wing cause,
Or will we all be brought to hell by Supreme Court decisions?
The very reason for the notwithstanding clause provisions.
