TRUDEAU'S CHARTER SHOULD CHANGE      NOV 22ND, 2014

by

James Bredin

A Charter without binding referendums is just words on paper,

Not a sacred Charter -- but a lot of pompous political vapour,

Need recall for incompetent politicians and set-date elections,

We need death with dignity and the ability to make corrections.

Need compulsory voting and proportional representation,

Something that is needed in this democratic nation,

All politicians including senators should be elected,

Not secretly and quietly as now, within a party: selected.

A constitution should be voted on in a national referendum,

Not quietly passed by a group of party politicians at random,

So we the people know it is our Constitution -- not their's,

Not left in a back room in Ottawa as though no one cares.
