La Nostra Cosa Grasso



Mike Duffy trial: Key players and likely witnesses
From left to right
starting at the top:
 Irving Gerstein,
Donald Bayne,
Nigel Wright,
Ray Novak,
Carolyn Stewart Olsen,
 Marjory LeBreton,
David Tkachuk,
Benjamin Perrin.
The PMO said "we're good to go"                    
G2G, on a need to know                
Keep family business on the low
Keep up appearances, just for show

And-away-we-go politico
Conservatives love to hit below-
The belt even though, the PMO
Had deniability;
Now that there's nowhere for them to go;
Maybe they'll claim senility.

We do, after all,
Have an aging population,
Who Conservatives attempt to woo,
With insincere adulation.

The 90G question, come to call
Did "the kids in short pants down the hall"
Allow a political heavy weight to take the fall?                                  
The path to Mike Duffy's day in court
Mr. Wright's actions, got little appall
Mr. Fixit man's still walking tall!

13th Chief of Staff,
Public sector, sociopath.
Unafraid to get his hands bloody,
Shielding his boss, got his knees muddy
Wright's tax write off, of private money
In hindsight is kinda funny.

Had him a soft landing at Onex Corporation
A public post for a private host,
Was an error in delegation,
Government needs less lawyers                                                            
And more human adoration
We get the government we deserve
One shot at a healthy nation.

 his fraud and bribery trial.

Is the suspended senator from PEI
Really a stand-up Ottawa guy?
Everybody deserves a fair trial
But how long will voters remain in denial?

If the Senate iceberg tip was Mike Duffy
This sonofabitch is gonna be puffy
Why only Duffy took the fall,
When senate malfeasance was wall to wall and
Liberals and Conservatives have the gall
To pretend this kangaroo court isn't meant to enthrall?

Nobody thinks the Ol' Duff will see a day in jail
30 slaps on the wrist
Plus 1 kick in the tail
Conservative asses are there for voters to nail                                                      
Camembert is named for
 the Normandy village
 where it was first made.
When it comes to justice, the ol' courts continuously fail

No senate reform is the real issue here
Conservative promises just disappear
Conservative legislators made Canada worse!
On Canada the Conservative Party's a curse!

Senator Nancy Ruth, didn't care
For free broken crackers and cold Camembert
Someone give Rosedale Nancy
Something else free she won't fancy,
Like a bucket of Main Street chicken
And a can of warm beer!
Because a Conservative feminist strikes many as queer!
No public inquiry, is still cavalier

Canada used to be a country that was fair
How will we pay for pensions and healthcare?

Universal pharmacare is part of it too
When Canadians can't pay,
They're told to make do.

Bad legislation, is a burden on the system
There is no such thing as political wisdom
How will we help families dealing with dementia,
When our leadership is done mostly in absentia?

Who will create jobs for our youth
When Feds are busy politicking
And economically uncouth?

What about issues facing our environment?
It's time to put these Feds into early retirement!
Canadian voters have much to consider
Lest Canada be bankrolled by the highest foreign bidder!

to prime minister's chief of staff
Nigel Wright apparently containing
advice from his lawer. It outlines certain
scenarios for repayment of the expenses
 and the "assurances" he would require.
