The Constitution Notwithstanding

The middle class is better off said Jim Flaherty.
Canadians are blushing, stop with all the flattery.
Maybe someone needs to fill you in on...
seeing as your salary is a quarter million.

On the CBC you played it real coy,
9 budgets later, we're all your discarded toy.
Play things for the Cabinet minister.
Your financial disparities are really quite sinister.

Canadians do you hear your government boasting?
It's to their political health, that we're all toasting!
Grin and bear it, stay true to form.
Now say you're sorry, you're Canadian born.

Budgetary recompense, is that all you're worth?
Are cheap roaming fees your only right of birth?
Not the pristine shores where you live and breathe
Barter that off too, among the corporate thieves.

This just in... youth employment took a battering, 
provide them with some easement, but oh just a smattering.
Let them be your volunteers, interns and apprentices.
You want benefits and a pension; what the hell do you think this is?

Democracy, you say? Now you sound Confucian! 
Notwithstanding, the loop hole in your constitution.
The Conservatives found a way, around financial distribution.
A country run by lawyers, leaves all of us, needing ablution.
