Stuff We Can'T Have Poem by James Bredin

Canadian binding referendums are completely forbidden,
Our pompous politicians don't want to be overridden,
Just like death-with-dignity; we're going nowhere soon,
Politicians are too busy in their private party commune.

We never have a plebiscite and can't have propositions,
Our politicians are busy on various appointed commissions,
No proportional representation or compulsory voting for all,
And secret-list appointees will make the death-with-dignity call.

Appointed senators fill the Senate but none were elected,
Can't point the finger because this system is protected,
And Trudeau wrote the Charter for EVERYONE everywhere,
His son Justin now wants to lead the Liberals and compare.
