HOW HELPLESS ARE WE? Nov 15^th, 2011

Canadians have the assumption that we have it right,

Tax-and-spend politicians can’t be questioned because we’re polite,

Less than half of us bother to vote and no one seems to care,

And the other half are convinced that nothing can change in this affair.

And without set-date elections, the future is not well known,

Where proportional representation might be discussed with a groan,

Where governor general and Supreme Court judges are appointed,

And senators too, secretly appointed and no disappointment.

Why are we so reluctant to vote or to change things around?

Denied death with dignity or the Supreme Court will clamp down,

Where do we get the leadership that will change the constitution?

And maybe then, close an Insite clinic in another solution.
