FREE ADVICE TO PRIME MINISTER PAUL MARTIN //

A Few Questions for Prime Minister Paul Martin By James Bredin Please Paul: Why did you give that twenty
eight percent raise in pay? To your civil servants who do very little
by night or day, Is this the change we waited and waited
for so very long? Or are you just a Chrétien clone and always get it wrong? Could we elect a Senate or even a prime
minister? Should we have impeachment to improve the
way they administer? Was our Charter of Rights written for the
United Nations? For everyone in the world in their far
distant locations.? Should we have property rights written
into our constitution? Or be stuck in your status quo that denies
evolution? Will there come a day when we'll be allowed
binding referenda? Is proportional representation in your
agenda? Should we have recall of politicians who
are drunk or brain dead? Are we denied wind turbines for nuclear
reactors instead? Will you pay down the national debt --
six hundred billion and climbing? Never mentioned in Liberal papers -- probably
the wrong timing.

The Loonie (Canadian dollar) has a tendency to jump up and down.
This poem was written when it had dropped down near sixty cents. Liberals and Deficit Financing Canadians have been conned since nineteen ninety three That's when the lousy Liberals promised, no GST But they kept the GST and increased the national debt Six hundred billion plus are the numbers we get So the Canadian dollar slid down to sixty-two cents If it dips down to nine well all be living in tents Liberals will be happy 'cause they always have a plan To visit Third World friends and improve on their tan And then they'll celebrate when it comes back up to a dime Because the previous day it went down to seven point nine When the national credit cards have all been maxed out And bankruptcy is bleak before Liberals are put to rout. They'll just tax and spend as usual and forget about numbers Forget about the currency, the grumblers and the mumblers, It's their policies they point to all those people who are poor In foreign fields far away where they've just been on tour We should worship all the icons the Liberals loudly tell us Like Trudeau or the Charter and all socialists who are zealous And give all these refugees, those who have three or four wives Welfare like the Senate for the remainder of their lives They call it security financing as they tax and spend some more Though the currency has gone through a hole in the floor When the shenanigans in Shawinigan dont bring any shame 'Cause the Mounties and ethics guy said no one was to blame And Canadians are mesmerized by all this fancy footwork Of crooked politicians who bring budgets down like clockwork And then they buy elections with published explanations Billions or millions to the proper province or organizations
