They act as if their problems were not our problems, so go away,
And our prime minister who keeps appointing them, wants to stay,
Senators for life or at least until they are seventy five,
Then a nice pension while they are still healthy and alive.
...
Our Ottawa appointed-for-life establishment wants to stay,
Well paid aristocrats from unknown places very far away,
But you need to have strong connections to get in that door,
And you don’t need to get elected because you know the score.
...
DWD has caused only silence from our prime minister,
For such an important subject; I find this a little sinister,
As if this is not important so please just go away,
Sorry prime minister but death-with-dignity is here to stay.
...
The isolated Ottawa aristocrats are not here,
They’re far away up in Ottawa so we have nothing to fear,
Should we show them more respect despite all the scandals that we read?
Or should we lie low despite the audit and pay them no heed?
...
Why does it seem; we should have more control of our politicians?
Because they act like elite aristocrats above suspicions,
Why are our senators appointed for life or seventy five?
How did they get there secretly and did they have to connive?
...
How does one apply to be an appointed senator for life?
Permanent job with high fancy title good pay and no strife,
All done in Ottawa close to hundreds of elite fancy friends,
Not like the low-life politicians going around the bends.
...
The Insite clinics for drug addicts shows that the riffraff have arrived,
They have established themselves and none of them feel deprived,
And they want to spread their drug culture here and there and all about,
...
If we ask; the Queen will allow us to change the Constitution,
But maybe we don’t need to, for a death-with-dignity solution,
Write the law and pass it in Parliament or the appointed Senate,
Though religious pulpit folk will call this solution a menace.
...
If Quebec gets death-with-dignity and Ontario does not,
Will Ontario be considered the province that time forgot?
Will our provincial politicians stay hidden in the woods?
Looking out, making statements and some wearing their hoods.
...
If churches can’t adapt to reality; they may be out,
And death-with-dignity may be what this is all about,
And of course the hierarchy look on this as a mortal sin,
As far as they are concerned, death-with-dignity does not fit in.
