Canadian senators are appointed rather than elected,
For no apparent reason and not by the provinces they have selected,
And no one will dare point out that this system may be wrong,
And there seems to be no complaints from the Ottawa throng.
Democracy should be high on the list of a prime minister,
Appointed aristocrat Supreme Court folk could be sinister,
Why is this not mentioned or said by elected politicians?
Maybe even complain about these non-democratic conditions.
And then maybe mention referendums and equalization,
Or death with dignity in this supposed democratic nation,
Compulsory voting at elections every four or five years,
Then change Trudeau’s Charter for just Canadians without fears.
