ELITE HUBRIS  … MAY 26TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The ruling elites in Ottawa want to stay where they are,

Whether elected or appointed though Ottawa  it is very far,

They don't want recall, binding referendums or compulsory elections,

There is no need for Canadians to be giving them directions.

Can't have medically assisted death for some unknown reason,

It's as though death with dignity might be a sin or treason,

Though half the countries in Europe have it now and five US states,

But these issues are not likely to come up here in debates.

A changed Charter or new Constitution is never mentioned,

Because this could cause change though it might ease tension,

Therefore nothing changes in Ottawa because it's not allowed,

Therefore as a Canadian, you might wonder why you are proud?
