Trudeau's Charter
by
James Bredin
Trudeau wrote the Charter for all humanity.
That’s everyone in the world - not just Christianity,
Thousands say they’re refugees, all coming here,
Bringing wives and children and then disappear,
And Canadians who read the Charter are just one or two,
And those who understand it are indeed very few,
Aboriginals are not Canadian and allowed special rights,
From old Indian treaties - no changes, no rewrites,
And Canadians have been told to be enthusiastic,
The Charter is not drastic -- it’s fantastic,
That Canadians should be denied rights to their possessions,
Even the UN Charter allowed these concessions.
