Change for Canadians
By
James Bredin

Why can't Canadians elect their prime ministers by name?
Why can't Canadians nominate senators or is this a shame?
Why can't Canadians elect their governor general?
Is it above and beyone them and always on deferal?

Why can't Canadians be allowed binding referendums?
Are our politicians too busy reading memorandums?
Do political parties change the system or make it worse?
Do they become an isolated embedded Ottawa curse?

Do tax-and-spend politicians travel the world at our expense?
Is this part of the stuff that can't be revealed in their defense?
If the Swiss can have binding referendums, why can't we?
They can also have euthanasia if the doctors agrees.
