Advice To Stephen Harper July 20th,2012 Poem by James Bredin

Stephen: These are things for you to do if you want to leave your mark,
Because what you are doing so far amounts to a walk in the park,
Or maybe, god forbid, you might be walking in Mulroney's shoes,
You remember the stacked Senate and the GST - his excuse.

Therefore I figured out how you might leave a Canadian mark,
Unlike Joe Clark's two hundred days travelling and lost in the dark,
Get us death with dignity and binding referendums soon,
Then get us mandatory voting some quiet afternoon.

There's more; lots more because I fear you are not listening,
From inside that Ottawa aristocratic group while commissioning,
And appointing more appointees to the very secret list,
Their very hidden not very open or democratic gift.
