Canadians Don'T Need To Think Poem by James Bredin

Canadians don’t need to think and are not obliged to vote,
And not allowed to turn back many incoming refugee boats,
No binding referendums, no proportional representation,
Little independence but part of a UN corporation.

We’re also busy in Afghanistan dealing with human rights,
But banned from the UN Security Council in these fights,
Are we a herd of sheep following a UN Shepard up front?
And no one is allowed to show displeasure or even grunt.

Is it any wonder that less than half Canadians vote?
What’s the use, the whole place seems to be on UN remote,
They say we’re going to eventually have an election,
But with no set-date elections, will there be a selection.
