This poem is dedicated to all the �friends� out there.
�Friends,� I need your vote
The politician cried
To move us forward
From the great divide
�Friends,� there will be no more talk of stopping abortion
�Friends,� my colleagues are muzzled on this silly notion
�Friends,� we intervened against free speech
�Friends,� we let the Human Rights Commission teach
�Friends,� no more talk of banning same-sex marriage
�Friends,� we never used the not-withstanding clause to stop that miscarriage
�Friends,� I need your vote to get a majority
�Friends,� then all my promises could be history
�Friends,� we are all the same under the skin
�Friends,� just politicians who want to win
�Friends,� will we do and say anything to get elected?
�Friends,� are we all as you suspected?
�Friends,� our party made Quebec a nation
�Friends,� now we need your affirmation
�Friends,� we ditched that party called Reform
�Friends,� Political Correctness (PC) is now the norm
�Friends,� we need you to give us the power
�Friends,� please don�t vote for that other shower
�Friends,� the polls have us running ahead
�Friends,� it�s clear by us, you want to be led
�Friends,� the promised land is almost here
�Friends,� at voting time we hold you dear
�Friends,� fixed election dates are for the birds
�Friends,� whoever heard of a politician keeping his word?
