Our Lives are Insignificant Obstacles to Power


Who's ever in power,                                                          
Paul Martin says
Stephen Harper
is the ‘king of deficits’
Must take the full blame;
Ridicule should find them
Like a moth to a flame:
Today's leadership,
Turned our lives into a game
Parliament play politics,
We get more of the same!

Who do politicians think they're fooling?
"I know you lie,
Cause your lips are moving"
Few are approving, of what you say?
Actions speak louder anyway!                                                                      
Politicians are good liars
'because they convince
 themselves they are
 telling the truth',
 study reveals


Ah yes the diabolical plan;
Is the disaffected voter,
You're a gift to the man
Worse than a floater
One hundred mill' to Japan
Means more cars for Toyota
Or jobs fly south of Dakota

The cost of living is soaring;
With Conservatives ignoring,
Canada's financial pain;
To them that topic is boring;
Has Ottawa gone soft in the brain?
Canada's Feds are snoring;
It's economic terrorism, all the same
Canada's press ain't underscoring
Why our PM's shirking the blame

Over balanced government budgets                                                                
DEBT: CANADA’S
BORROWING BINGE
In deep: The high risks of
Canada’s growing
addiction to debt
Canadians pout and fret
But we're mere hypocrites
For carrying high personal debt;
2008!
How soon we forget;
When Wall Street bankers,
Hedged their dastardly bet!

If housing prices be any indication
We're in a state of economic threat;
Then record profits
Need condemnation
But it's greater profits,
The chosen few get!
No job from no corporation
If you're green or behind your ears wet!

There's a convenient mechanism,                                                                        
The world this week:
Global economy
has a great fall
Government calls it free trade;
Done under the guise of fairness, open markets and aid
It tells workers to feel lucky,
That you even got paid
Corporate tactics are used
To make top wages fade;
Creating cheap foreign labour, and domestic wage slaves

Moving capital and jobs off of our shores
So manufacturing is drudgery,
For bumpkins and boars;
Like a kiddie allowance
For doing your chores
A cunning little measure used to persuade
Workers to feel fortunate
Instead of betrayed!

A condition better known as Conservative catachresis
Is like calling Intelligence
An outfit named CSIS                              
Because a "socialist" label
Is something that reaches
Conservatives need history lessons
But rather privacy breaches

Students were told
Get an education                                                                                
Get a good job
Pay down good debt
Network and hob knob
We got out of school
Student debt collection to
ramp up, according to
government documents
Documents suggest Harper
government more interested
 in image than dealing with
 student debt, says Bilan Arte
Remaining ever the fool
To find a degree,
No hidden jewel;
But we sure found,
The job environment cruel!

People are forced to forego
Government won't pony up dough!
For vital medication,
Even though,
Uniform coverage
Would cost Canada less to bestow;
On the masses that have
A tough row to hoe
Oh but alas
The press gave Conservatives a pass
They failed to make unaffordable medication,                                                            
Hamilton supports national pharmacare strategy
A voter preoccupation!

Insufficient Fed dollars granted
Conservatives all but abandoned
Big cities transit!
Toronto's half measures
On no front pages splashed
The press let 'em get away
With doing things half-assed!
Why does TTC momentum,
Always run out of gas?
They only halfway adopted
The Presto pass!                                                                                          
Toronto needs transit funding,
 not more talk, from
 Ottawa this federal election

Why is Canada's largest city,
Content in being superficially pretty?
For foreign investment silly!
Isn't it a pity!

People sit for too long in traffic
Rush hour scenes are way too graphic
Canada's payed it lip service for years!
After the vaunted HOV lane, nobody cares
Few people moved by cars is a crying shame
Supporting failed industry is our crying game
While fuel prices fuel our overall pain

Autos are a failed industry                                                                              
A constant public purse drain
Why is corporate welfare,                                                                              
High on the government food chain?
Canadian courts still want jail,
Canadian taxpayers lose
 $3.5-billion on 2009
 bailout of auto firms
For Mary Jane!

Harper and the press
Fear monger about ISIS
While our economic stress
Is Canada's real terror crisis!

Under employment
Is a huge source of annoyment
No available, affordable housing
Another terror that's been arousing

The only real way to kill our jobs                                                                  
IS TOM MULCAIR HIDING
 IN THE WEEDS ON POT?


Is to vote back in power the same old slobs
Oh heck let's legitimize the wack attack ad!
Who can boast,
The Conservative track record really ain't bad?

Huh? So what if you do?
Look at me when I'm talking to you!
Whatever you're sniffing
Smells like glue!
And don't say you're sniffling, from the flu
Wait till Harper's done runnin' us through!

"Government deficits, by definition, create private sector wealth,
While surpluses drain it"
Why You Should Love Government Deficits
Said John T. Harvey of our fiscal health
Conservatives think only of power for them-self
Wealth is no good by itself
Working poor are filed away,
On government's shelf
The weak dollar makes Canada wimpy like an elf

The only job growth,
We've had in nine years,
Is part time, and precarious
Does that allay your fears?

Do we want a federal government that hordes all the cash?
Isn't that tantamount to a dine and dash?
Running out before paying the bill
Big business tax cuts,
Is a wealthy hand in the till!
When do Canadian's get their tax break fill?                              
Bruce Campbell, executive director
 of the Canadian Centre for
 Policy Alternatives,
says the national think-tank
is "advancing a platform as
 an actionable blueprint
for moving forward.”
Income splitting for most is zero or nil

Truth be known
Conservatives had their chance
Now that it's been blown
Their anti social policies
Is like doing a dance
Another term will only clone
Their lackadaisical stance;
While Canadians are left to suffer alone
In the economic danger zone!

After 10 years of Conservative groan
There's nothing new for Canada to be shown
How Canada’s oilsands are
 paving the way for
driverless trucks —
and the threat of big layoffs
Any other party could run the country
But current food prices,
May see us go hungry!                                                                                            
Canada's a pariah,
On the environmental world stage
Dirty oil keeps us in a carbon cage
All our economic eggs
Stuck in the industrial age,
In a filthy oil sands basket;
A climate disaster away,
From a closed casket!
                                                                                             
Cost of living climbing,
StatsCan says
Food prices offset
break at fuel pump
