Why bother to vote? ... DEC 3RD,2013
By
James Bredin
Less than half Canadians vote and we don’t seem to even care,
Because nothing much changes in Ottawa that we are aware,
Where illegal immigrants and refugees claim Charter rights,
Where death-with-dignity is refused for those wanting their last rites.


We need binding referendums which our elites always refuse,
They're busy taxing and spending and maybe going on a cruise,
We need set-date elections with a real date written down,
Not something adapted in a moment as they look around.


And the parole boards are busy letting criminals out of jail,
No capital punishment but lots of cheap and easy bail,
We are our own worst enemy with Trudeau's Charter of Rights,
Read the Swiss Constitution and they’re democratic fights.
