Canada Day 2024
We're grumpy these days. Mr. Poilievre tells us that "Canada is broken." It's Poilievre boilerplate -- over the top and mean. There is much to fix and improve. But there is much to celebrate.
Broken lines, broken strings Broken threads, broken springs Broken idols, broken heads People sleeping in broken beds Ain't no use jiving, ain't no use joking Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates Broken switches, broken gates Broken dishes, broken parts Streets are filled with broken hearts Broken words never meant to be spoken Everything is broken
Seem like every time you stop and turn around Something else just hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws Broken buckles, broken laws Broken bodies, broken bones Broken voices on broken phones Take a deep breath, feel like you're choking Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken ploughs Broken treaties, broken vows Broken pipes, broken tools People bending broken rules Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking Everything is broken"
It's sad to realize that the country may be in the process of being redefined by a couple of cartoon characters like Trudeau and Poilievre while Jagmeet sits there stunned and trying to figure it all out..
Happy Canada Day, Owen.
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day.
ReplyDeletean ode to Lil'PP from Bob ...
"Everything Is Broken
Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving, ain't no use joking
Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates
Broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts
Streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken
Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws
Broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're choking
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bull frog croaking
Everything is broken"

That would also apply to Mr. Poilievre, PoV.
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day to you as well, Lorne.
ReplyDeleteOh Canada, we still love you……..
ReplyDeleteI combine that with our Centennial song, and it gives me a lift. DJF
We need to think back to the Centennial, DJF. Our vision of the country wasn't the one Poilievre is selling.
