NO CANADIAN POLITICAL INPUT

By
James Bredin

We can’t vote for our prime minister and we don’t find this strange,
We can’t have binding referendums because they refuse to arrange,
We can’t have proportional representation because they don’t like,
Establishment Ottawa crowd busy on an exercise bike.



Can’t have set-date elections anywhere though they did pass that law,
Then they decided they didn’t like it and went and found a flaw,
We can’t change Trudeau’s Charter of Rights though some say we can,
Written for “Everyone” in the world according to Trudeau’s plan.



Can’t have political recall for useless politicians,
Who refuse to abide by their constituents’ wishes,
Party political decisions in cloistered committee rooms,
No need for public input here, Canadians seem to assume.
