Say Goodbye to Democracy!

02/28/2008 by Debra

{with apologies to Country Joe and the Fish}

Come on all of you Liberal wo/men
Uncle Harper needs your help again
he’s got himself in a terrible jam
way down yonder in Afghanistan so
put down your prinicpals, buck up and vote
Cause now the Cons get to gloat

And it’s one, two, three, What’s the opposition for?
Don’t ask me I don’t give damn, send more troops to Afghanistan

And it’s five, six, seven, no more parliment debates
ain’t no time to wonder why, whoopee democracy’s gonna die

Come on SoCons, let’s move fast
your big chance has come at last
Illegal abortion and gay sex too
kill SWC no one to stop you
and you know that glory can only be won when we’ve
blown ’em all to kingdom come

And it’s one, two, three, What’s the opposition for?
Don’t ask me I don’t give damn, send more troops to Afghanistan

And it’s five, six, seven, no more parliment debates
ain’t no time to wonder why, whoopee democracy is gonna die

Come on Oil Companies don’t be shy
Liberals are gonna support your guy!
Step right up and pollute the land
No one is gonna slap your hand
Open up the oil sands

And it’s one, two, three, What’s the opposition for?
Don’t ask me I don’t give damn, send more troops to Afghanistan

And it’s five, six, seven, no more parliment debates
ain’t no time to wonder why, whoopee democracy is gonna die

Come on Voters throughout Canada
Send more Liberals to Ottawa
No longer matters how you vote
Now we’re all in the same boat
We’re ruled by one party
Say goodbye to democracy!

And it’s one, two, three, What’s the opposition for?
Don’t ask me I don’t give damn, send more troops to Afghanistan

And it’s five, six, seven, no more parliment debates
ain’t no time to wonder why, whoopee democracy is gonna die

Democracy takes another hit

10/24/2007 by Debra

Bene Diction Blogs On writes today on how parliament has managed to disinfranchise 4.4% of Canadian voters.

Voters now need a residential address with a street name and number before casting a ballot, because of an amendment to the Canada Elections Act that Parliament enacted four months ago.

But more than one million rural Canadians have no proper residential or civic address. Many of them use post office boxes, and on some native reserves residents only use the name of their community. (CTV)

Perhaps when we finally lose our right to have a say voters will sit up and take notice.
