OUR DEMOCRACY Oct 14th, 2012
By
We don't have binding referendums or judicial reviews,
No plebiscites, proportional representation but who knew?
No
set-date elections, recall or compulsory voting rules,
Not
even elected senators mentioned in any of our schools.
We
are not allowed death with dignity no matter how sick,
No
matter what religion you are – Protestant or Mick,
And
what happened to Sue Rodriguez, could happen to you,
Just
about the time you’re ready to die and say adieu.
Canadian politicians like all
politicians dread recall,
Whether it’s
federal, provincial or even city hall,
Their party
is more important than their constituents,
But this is
seldom if ever very mentioned though continuous.
