As a people, we know what we can do, we know how to do it, and we just want to get on with it. How? By ensuring that Canada's place in the world is one of influence and pride.

Canada remains alienated from its allies, shut out of the reconstruction process to some degree, unable to influence events. There is no upside to the position Canada took.

Beginning of destruction
pride it’s all your fault
Pride it’s all your fault we in this mess
Pride it’s all your fault we are suffering
Pride it’s all your fault people are shedding blood
Pride it’s all your fault families are destroyed
Pride it’s all your fault people are so greedy and selfish
Pride it’s all your fault people have no love
Pride it’s all your fault are so jealous of each other
Pride it’s all your fault people are so lost
Pride it’s all your fault dying from this horrible diseases
Pride it’s all your fault we have so many orphans
Pride it’s all your fault people are betraying each other
Pride it’s all your fault are dying of hunger
Pride it’s all your fault fathers are sleeping with their children
Pride it’s all your fault people are so heartless
Pride it’s all your fault there is no peace, unity and harmony in this world
Pride it’s all your fault we have all this sorrow
Pride it’s all your fault God has rejected us
Pride it’s all your fault people are so evil
And they have decided to be in love with evil rather than good
You have ruined this world
You are to blame for all this misery
If lucifer did not have pride in his heart we wouldn’t be in this mess
Pride it all your fault! ! !

An Alain
A place to live at cost;
This world has its price
Exploitation, bias and pride
Has condemned the humans thrice
The people or place love you may
But when you leave your own
They tell you right away
Your identity is gone
And they play with you with political tools
Your character you can not hide
The Policy makes people fool
And helps others to breed their pride
Ah! No one is civilized enough
To make it easy what is tough
They make it thorny all the more
To feel an alienness at the core

Canadian born
We first saw light in Canada, the land beloved of God;
We are the pulse of Canada, its marrow and its blood:
And we, the men of Canada, can face the world and brag
That we were born in Canada beneath the British flag.
Few of us have the blood of kings, few are of courtly birth,
But few are vagabonds or rogues of doubtful name and worth;
And all have one credential that entitles us to brag--
That we were born in Canada beneath the British flag.
We've yet to make our money, we've yet to make our fame,
But we have gold and glory in our clean colonial name;
And every man's a millionaire if only he can brag
That he was born in Canada beneath the British flag.
No title and no coronet is half so proudly worn
As that which we inherited as men Canadian born.
We count no man so noble as the one who makes the brag
That he was born in Canada beneath the British flag.
The Dutch may have their Holland, the Spaniard have his Spain,
The Yankee to the south of us must south of us remain;
For not a man dare lift a hand against the men who brag
That they were born in Canada beneath the British flag.

Why has the world gone crazy?
Why has the world gone crazy?
People overdosing on drugs
Why has the world gone crazy?
You can't go outside without getting mugged.
Why has the world gone crazy?
People throwing their kids off a bridge
Why has the world gone crazy?
Everybody having sex before marriage
Why has the world gone crazy?
People going to war for no reason
Why has the world gone crazy?
Everyone's love for the world is leavin
I know I'm only 15
But I know the world is not a good place
America used to be the best place
Now it's a disgrace
The world has gone crazy
Because no one understands
That it's everyones responisibility
To be respectful to the land
The world has gone crazy
It seems that only I can see
That we need to change this place
So that everyone is truely free

Canada evolved within the British Empire: it inherited the Parliamentary system, the Cabinet system and all the other features of the British constitutional system which had been in place, for the most part, for several centuries before Canada was even thought of.

Territories
Words by neil peart, music by geddy lee and alex lifeson
I see the middle kingdom between heaven and earth
Like the chinese call the country of their birth
We all figure that our homes are set above
Other people than the ones we know and love
In every place with a name
They play the same territorial game
Hiding behind the lines
Sending up warning signs
The whole wide world
An endless universe
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
Dont feed the people
But we feed the machines
Cant really feel
What international means
In different circles
We keep holding our ground
In different circles
We keep spinning round and round
We see so many tribes -- overrun and undermined
While their invaders dream of lands theyve left behind
Better people -- better food -- and better beer
Why move around the world when eden was so near?
The bosses get talking so tough
And if that wasnt evil enough
We get the drunken and passionate pride
Of the citizens along for the ride
They shoot without shame
In the name of a piece of dirt
For a change of accent
Or the colour of your shirt
Better the pride that resides
In a citizen of the world
Than the pride that divides
When a colourful rag is unfurled

A War Over There
It seems they are always having a war somewhere over there,
And the loosing side is calling the UN to come and take care,
Sometimes it’s religion, sometimes it’s national or even tribal,
And the UN makes an announcement as though they are liable.
Certain UN members are then expected to go forth and win,
Otherwise it could be a UN diabolical sin,
Canada is among those states that they are inclined to choose,
No referendums, plebiscites, propositions or reviews.
They refused to let Canada in Security Council place,
Not politically correct enough though right in our face,
Has the UN became more trouble than we deserve?
Could we pull out of the UN or do we have the nerve?

Canada Please Change
CANADA PLEASE CHANGE Jun 24th,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN
Where nothing, absolutely nothing, is allowed to change,
No compulsory voting or binding referendums arranged,
As the Parole Board sets even more vicious criminals free,
Where death with dignity is banned by the High Court for you and me.
Unfortunately proportional representation is banned,
But abortions were allowed though some people thought this was grand,
By our Supreme Court who themselves are from a secret appointee list,
And Trudeau's Charter for "EVERYONE" in the world as they persist.
As you read this poem you can make a list of things Canada needs,
Or what we don't need - Parole Boards - as Canada bleeds,
You can give the list to your MP sometime this summer,
You will be disappointed again though as you appear even dummer.

Influence, people think about it as someone you like but influence is also what you're revolted by. In fact, often it's what you're running away from.

991. Give Me The Pride Of Being Your Child.
You bestow
Some people with pride of having best parents.
Some with pride of inheriting immense wealth.
Some with pride of being born in high caste.
Some with pride of possessing an extraordinary talent.
Some with pride of controlling a great mass.
.....
For me, You denied all these.
I too don’t regret.
In fact, I thank You
For not having added all these
To my already taxing ego.
But, don’t deny Your uplifting love.
Give me only one pride.
The pride of being Your child!

My 7 Sins
Regardless of what you may
Have heard about me
I want you to know that
I'm not a bad person
I rarely ENVY anyone anymore
I'm struggling to get my GLUTTENY under control
I LUST after people, but don't we all
I'm a SLOTH ever now and then
I'm not GREEDY
I have my WRATH under control
I do have some PRIDE
But I don't understand why
People look at me as if
The world would be
A better place without me
Ohh! ! The world, , ,
The way world go round,
It seems everyone fighting for the crown.
The way people express their emotions,
It seems world has became the place of heartless persons.
The way people ignores other's tear,
It seems the world lacks human.
The way people gives order,
It seems the world is full of Hitlers.
The wat people cheats,
It seems the world is the home of Bluff-masters.
The way I found people,
It seems the is a hell, , , , , , ,
I AM LIVING IN, , , ,

Faith In Each Other
All the people
In this world
All the people
In this world
Gotta tell you
Its alright
Look at the cover
Of a magazine
The pride of a nation
Theyre down on their knees
I got to tell you
Let the people speak
Chorus
I got to tell you
Yeah you got to have faith
In each other
All you ever
All you ever have for each other
They give us a reason
To go on living
Its all in the choices
That you have to make
I got to tell you
You better make them good
Chorus
All the people
In this world
All the people
In this whole wide world
I got to tell you
Let the people speak

Cyberspace
To live in Cyberspace amongst the wireless whizzung binary
Puts a mask upon our face and affords us anonymity
Its amazing how the jargon travels at the speed of light
So we shouldn't press the send button until constructed right
Some people cyber bully, some people cyber brag
Some people cyber buy and sell, and some just cyber shag
The magic of the net keeps us 'caught up' and collected
It's criss crosses the globe, ensuring loved ones stay connected
Is it safe to live here and frolic in the mesh?
I'd say it's good for humans but it isn't skin and flesh!
Even FaceTime apps and Skype don't have the same appeal
You can't give hugs in cyberspace, there's just no touchy feel!
I like the world it's opened up, It more than has a place
But let's not get so caught up we forget our open space.
