Mr. Harper, I Want An
Election
Mr. Harper and your fellow Neocons,
I do want an election,
Most thinking Canadians I know
Want an election,
For you to continue saying we don’t
Is a deceitful undermining
Of democracy, as cracked
And illusionary as it may be,
For you to say it is too expensive
Is deceitful and hypocritical,
How much did you spend
On Toronto’s G20 affair,
Which in context, resulted in one
Of the most draconian crackdowns
And largest mass arrests in Canadian history,
Masked, unidentifiable military types
Opening fire with tear gas and rubber
Bullets on unarmed young people,
Sitting, holding hands, singing
Oh Canada,
How many young Canadians
Have been killed in Afghanistan and
Other parts of the world trying to help
People gain some semblance of democracy,
For you to say an election is an unnecessary danger
To Canada and its economy
Is deceitful and an affront to the memory
Of all those who have died
For democracy, for the right to elections,
For the right to vote,
For you to say that this election is due to
Anything but the majority of elected
Members Of Parliament finding you and your
Party in
“Contempt Of Parliament”
Is a deceitful disregard for the public,
Democratic, parliamentary record.
Stephen Nesbitt
