“The Sins of the Previous Leader are to be Laid Upon the Current Leader and the Nation.”

Margaret Trudeau on Justin, Pierre -
 and that hair
Ex-wife of former
prime minister talks to CBC's
Wendy Mesley about life in the political spotlight

Hot off the press 

This just in

Canada's new PM 

Yes just him

His name is Justin

It was a must win 

Give a victory pin

To Pierre's next of kin!

Big shoes to fill 

Because daddy is still 

Someone loved and respected 

Beyond Parliament Hill

Who said youth, 

Is wasted on the young?

Age equals wisdom,

In places far flung!

Here in the West

Margaret Trudeau says
quitting marijuana helped mental health

It's your social rung

Many would agree                                                                  
That's a big load of dung

It's a pop culture world

Let make-believe unfurl

Bill Blair getting in

Made peace lovers hurl

It's a cheese lovers world 

Give politics a whirl 

Stinky, old cheese 

May make your toes curl!

Politician cops

Are C.O.I. plurals!

They can never be precious                                                                        

Bill Blair wins Scarborough Southwest
Toronto’s former top cop was elected
for the Liberals in Scarborough Southwest.
Scarborough Southwest
is a riding of contradictions.
 Bounded by Victoria Park Ave.
out to Markham Rd.,
 from Lake Ontario up
 to Eglinton Ave. E.,
 it has an affluent swath along
 the water,
including the Scarborough Bluffs,
mixed with neighbourhoods
with extreme poverty.

Like diamonds and pearls

Ban military and cops,

From the political world!

Before we're left with 

More scandals that swirl!

If you don't want to eat

Think of smelly flat feet

Julian Fantino,

May be the bigger elite

Didn't the Liberals learn, 

From the Conservative defeat?

Bill Blair is the new concern 

Now that Fantino lost his seat

Bad news right from day one 

Politician cops 

Have influence, a badge and a gun!

Now that Fantino's out 

Even white boys got to shout,

Baby get back!

They know Black people lack,

Political clout! 

Toronto has a carding loophole                                                                        

For an officer to stick in his big snout

Julian Fantino:
The former Toronto police chief
had a rough ride in Ottawa,
handling four portfolios over
five years, ending as associate
defence minister this year.
Most notably, he had a rough
relationship with veterans when
serving as veterans affairs minister,
closing eight offices providing services
for veterans. He once famously showed
 up late for a meeting with veterans
who wanted to discuss the cuts, then
got into an argument with them.
Mr. Fantino was on track to lose
in Vaughan-Woodbridge, a suburban
riding north of Toronto, to
Liberal Francesco Sorbara.

Ontario remains racist,

Beyond a shadow of doubt!

You'd think by this hour

It'd be progress 

To have minorities in power

Think again!

Black and Native faces look dour 

Living conditions continue to  sour

Chief Saunders, and the Premier 

Both cower! 

One a Black man

The other female and Queer

Yet both allow the tentacles of oppression 

To choke off our air;

Big L Liberal may stand for unfair 

If Liberals don't show us how much that they care

Is it to the brokers behind them,

Whose allegiance they swear? 

For the new age of politics

The public is "the ultimate weapon"

The disenfranchised's needs 

Aren't regarded in the least                                                                                

Bystander who filmed video of
Sammy Yatim shooting testifies at trial

When it's the elite's wealth, 

The people's needs threaten 

Let sullen eyes feast

As Ontario

Descends into the belly of the beast! 

How did "Toronto the Good"
Clean up its streets? 

It jailed Black bodies, 

Check out Babylon's beats!

Beats to the body 

Beats to the head 

Beat you damn bloody 

Young Sammy shot dead!

Sammy Yatim killing:
Toronto police officer pleads
 not guilty"
It's a last resort to use lethal force.
It's the most serious decision for an officer.
Though it doesn't mean an officer
 has to try everything else.
Sometimes there's no time,"
Deputy Chief Michael Federico testified.

How can anyone believe,                                                    
In Canadian justice?

It's rarely been used

That's why it got rusted

Like a jalopy that's abused, 

Yatim got dusted 

Officer James Forcillo 

Left the world disgusted 

He breached the oath

The public entrusted 

To uphold the constitution

Even for those who get busted! 

He pumped a mentally ill boy 

All full of holes 

Left him undignified, lifeless and cold 

Saying he'll get off                                                                                          

Is not really that bold
Prosecutors called "the Crown"

Toronto Police constable
James Forcillo,
right, is accused of second
degree murder
in the death of
Sammy Yatim.

Sound like they're British controlled 

But Canada's independent!

Or so we are told

It's the same tired story 

Now so decrepit and old

The elite never convict 

One of their fold

Can a wealthy nation's healing 

Now begin,

After 10 long years, 

Of Conservative sin?

Is Canada really ready, 

For a Liberal win?

The elite Canadian press 

Took the truth for a spin 

Calling an election win "change"

You need not be a sleuth 

To find that kinda strange; 

Especially when things stay the same;                                                          

Proof That Trudeau Won
Because Strategic Voting Works

But the faces rearrange

Strategic voting,

Left a nation estranged!

It's the same old history 

Repeating yet again 

Like Barbie and Ken

From way back when 

Politicians play dress up 

For their new role 

The next four years 

Liberals think they control

What we see here 

In Canada today 

Is no political party                                                                    

Stephen Harper no longer
the head of the Conservative Party

Has sole right of way

10 years is too long 

To let puppet masters play 

And devour Canada

Like a Peanut Buster Parfait 

Oops, you got a little chocolate 

On your chin;

Conservatives deserved 

Their kick in the shin

Their best thinking 

Made us have to begin 

Beauty and brains DO go together!
Study claims good-looking men
and women have higher IQs

To help to repair 

What they let wear thin

Cutting spending at any expense                                              
Their stinking thinking 

Made everybody tense

Neglecting people, housing - good jobs; 

Shirking responsibility 

Is a luxury that robs,

The common people 

Of adequate health;

Why is Canadian unity,

Second to monetary wealth?
