Monitor the Monitors


Take the dubious case of Hydro1
Number one with a bullet                                                              
The confrontation between City News
 reporter Shauna Hunt and fans
 at Sunday’s Toronto FC game featured
 several bystanders mimicking a
viral trend seen across North America,
 in which on-air reporters are
 harassed with the phrase,
“F--- her right in the p----.”
And a smoking gun
Let's state your case
You be the one
If the press is the place
Freedom's on the run!

Shawn Simoes
Beat up in the press
Hydro One knows
It's an ugly game of chess

But who'll monitor Hydro One?
Certainly not the Ombudsman;
With him, they're just having fun;
How many Liberal messes, must we shun?
                                                                                                             
Andre Marin says his office was
flooded with 10,700 complaints
from Hydro One ratepayers about
over-billing or estimated bills.
(CP File)
Swear your oath of loyalty,
On the capitalist bible.
Off duty employee,
Recently gone viral;
Like the Senate appointee,
Flushed down the "pishadoo" spiral;
Surely, not us,
No, we're not in denial!

Top level men, willfully obstruct,
Laws that regulate them; they purposely destruct.
Along with codes of conduct, ethics and trust;
Nigel Wright, fills many with disgust!

The press hide him,                                                                                    
Why Mike Duffy is facing charges,
 and Nigel Wright isn't
Jonathon Gatehouse explains how
 it might be a criminal act
to take that 90,000 cheque-
but not to write it Jonathon Gatehouse

Like a Russian defector;                                                        
Now a corporate god,
Who drinks of the nectar.
That's why Hydro One,
Set off our bullshit detector!
Not your usual thievery,
Of the average bill collector!

The high and the mighty
Say minorities blame whitey
Their immense love of money,
Rivals, that of Aphrodite!
It's not their survival,
Our matters taken lightly,
‘We are at risk of turning into
a surveillance society’:
Alok Mukherjee
Their ethics need revival,
Officials come off flighty!

Monitor the monitors,
Of social conformity                                                                
Keep you in line
Like corporate uniformity;
A social experiment
Not the first of its kind;
Only works well,
On the double blind!

Concerned Citizens to End Carding
 demand end to controversial
 policing tactic'
The message has been received,'
 said Mayor John Tory in response
Wait for it;
The unethical part,                                                                  
His livelihood;
Publicly torn apart.
Hydro One eviscerated,
Shawn Simoes's heart;
It beat in their hand,
Like a ghastly work of art!

Oh don't go yet,
It gets even better!
Did your mouth water,                                                                
And make you get wetter?
Ontario Tories ask police to investigate
 allegations Hydro One misled government
The Progressive Conservatives asked
the OPP for a probe after the
ombudsman complained he
was lied to by Hydro One officials.
Meet the CEO
A lean, mean, go getter
That's Mr. Carmine Marcello to you
He'll make Ontarians a debtor!

One Hundred Thousand billing errors!
This is prior to Hydro One's private terrors;
Liberals at the helm of bad news bearers
Ontario Hydro rates, sure ain't getting fairer!

NDP say privatization,
Means an increased Hydro rate;
Liberals act like it's their realization,
Ontarians can handle the weight!
Yet the Ombudsman still got, thousands of complaints
Hydro One's more like Satan, than a modern day saint!

Who is Hydro One to judge,

Employee behaviour as of late?
When Hydro One tried to fudge
Paying out customer rebates;                                                                        
It took bad publicity to nudge
Them, into fixing erroneous rates;
Now consumers hold a grudge
Over threats to their power cut fate!

Andre Marin likened it to; "Wrestling with a slippery pig".
Block out this painful reality,
Have yourself a healthy swig,
Spare us your childish mentality
If payoff beer is what you dig
Stop pretending it's only formality
And this issue, really ain't big!

Ontario opens sales of beer to grocery stores
A Provincial Liberal led monopoly,
A Hydro One oligopoly;
They're selling it off so sloppily,
Even Provincial Conservatives,
Could have done it more properly!

Old, blackouts, keep on rollin' ♫♪♫♫♪
Mississauga moon won't you keep on shinin' on me...  ♫♪♫♫♪
Is a Canadian take on a Doobie Brothers' hit
Mixed in with a bit of "Weird Al" wit
Wait till the lights go out,
You won't see shit!
Freeze in the dark!
Or pay for it!
