The Americans can make amendments to their Bill of Rights, <br />It seems to solve the problems of many political fights, <br />But Canadians have a problem in trying to change our Charter, <br />Written back around the time of President Jimmy Carter. <br /> <br />Too many provinces, people, groups and complications involved, <br />Too much finger pointing, accusations and matters unresolved, <br />Under the command of appointees politically correct, <br />Appointed senators or appointed judges have the same affect. <br /> <br />The Swiss have binding referendums, which we are denied, <br />Even Oregon has death with dignity, which we can’t abide, <br />Because our aristocrat appointees all want to stay and stay, <br />You can’t change anything, so you… just better go away.<br /><br />James Bredin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-amendments-please/
