WE NEED ANOTHER CONSTITUTION   … May 31st, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

No one is allowed to find a fault with Trudeau's Charter of Rights,

But I can but then again, I'm not too highly educated or too bright,

We don't have binding referendums or medically assisted death,

And we don't have compulsory voting or other changes yet.

Unfortunately we seem reluctant to make these very important moves,

Though a new Constitution could be great in order to improve,

Though the Ottawa establishment seems complacent the way things are,

They seem to think that changing things might be going too far.

I suggest if we write another Constitution, that this time, we get it right,

Add binding referendums and recall and few appointees in sight,

With medically assisted death for those dying or in such need,

But where do we get a strong politician who is allowed to lead?

Half the European countries have medically assisted death now,

On this continent, five US states also got it somehow,

But our Sue Rodriguez, dying with Lou Gehrig's disease was told,

Dying like that was not allowed to be medically controlled.
