COMPULSORY VOTING Aug 23rd 2011

Canadians are not required to vote so they seldom do,
Politicians are not in a hurry because there’s no queue,
Same politicians seem to like it this way and want it to stay,
Because they’re not sure the voters will vote their way.
We should have a Canadian compulsory voting law,
They have it in Australia and it’s not considered a flaw,
It should be, vote or get at least a fifty-dollar fine,
Added to your income tax next year and so much for the bottom line.
Maybe then Canadians will realize they need referendums,
And not just the usual left-wing political memorandums,
But how do we get their attention and get them to change?
We don’t even know when our next election will be arranged.
