Toronto Injection Sites
Our media types may love the Vancouver-type injection sites,
But we the people have no referendums and few democratic rights,
And the drug-addict activists may indeed change the laws,
Did it in Vancouver with Supreme Court help; therefore no flaws.
Because less than half Canadians even bother to vote,
Therefore our established aristocrats can frequently gloat,
And those who might object, cannot be seen or even heard,
Their voices are way in the background and very blurred.
Have the Conservatives turned into Ottawa Liberals; God forbid!
Isolated travelling the world, maybe in Hong Kong or Madrid,
And like the Liberals, they want to stay forever there,
No referendums or death-with-dignity, so say a prayer.
