It's important to our nation, it's important to our public safety, it's important to our security, it's important to our economic well-being moving forward. And it's not something that's going to go away.

Less Than Half Canadians Vote
Canadians have no requirement or obligation to vote,
Politicians seem to like it this way on their gravy-train boat,
Add that to first-past-the-post election system and take a note,
The combined loosers almost always have many more votes.
Proportional representation is frowned upon by these elites,
They like this strange set system and they want to keep their seats,
No binding referendums, no recall in this desperation,
Your call is important to us but are you a relation?
Add these problems to the illusion of party politics fix,
Plus tax-and-spend travelling politicians with economic tricks,
Then an abortion clinic on each street for population growth,
And no assisted suicide because of Hippocratic oath

Nationalistic Catastrophe
In New Zealand potential equals people
proven source of aspired future prosperity.
In Turkey rapidly expanding masses
within relatively limited land mass.
Is a force of possible social degeneration?
Environmental and economic ruination
and potentially nationalistic annihilation?
These spectres lurk in war are defeated in peace.
