{The Gulf oil spill}


The Gulf oil spill

The oil spill.

How many will it kill?

And how many livelihoods will fall ill?


it's beyond comprehension.

The devastation.


The worst in history.

The most catastrophic of the earth's robbery.


Every minute, gallons and gallons gush.

Yet no one seems to be in a real rush.


Wells.

They just swell.


Still no solution

For the pollution.


How many days has it been now?

How many more will the world allow?


Disillusioned.

The Gulf of Mexico, moribund.


BP, you're going down.

But with your billions, you just may fail to drown.


But your reputation is beyond repair.

And no one cares if you think that's unfair.

{Free speech at our universities}


Free speech at our universities


Oh Canada,
Our home and sensored land,

How could we give Coulter the upper hand?

Skilled in the art of making people mad.
Now we're the ones that look bad.

The beneficiary of pointing fingers and accusing looks,
Francois Houle, now you've gone and helped her sell more books.

Of our laws, a self-proclaimed victim.
We hope our fellow countrymen aren't so dim.

With only a right wing,
She's clearly not a balanced thing.

Avid proponents.
Bitter opponents.

So begins the conversation.
A democratic demonstration.

Controversial, no doubt.
Isn't that what an education's about?
