NO NEED TO BE CLEVER… OCT 31ST, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

There’s a lot of bad feelings about our appointed aristocrats,
In our Red Chamber Senate helped by many bureaucrats,
It could be compared to some religious dynamic cult,
And we really don’t know yet; what will be the final result.

How long can this tangled Senate scandal go on and on?
Day after day, week after week and none of them have gone,
Even on a Friday when the place is normally closed,
As more of these damned issues continues to be exposed.



They say the pompous appointed Senate cannot be closed down,
It’s in the Constitution, they smile, so it has to stay around,
So no matter what politicians say; we’re stuck with it forever,
Senators don’t have to do much thinking or to be very clever.

SHOW THEM THE DOOR … OCT 30TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

The ongoing Senate scandal that seems to continue every day,
Its a graphic example that our system has gone astray,
Therefore we need to change the system and this time, get it right,
And please, no more life-time appointees to everyone’s delight,




But we need binding referendums and death with dignity soon,
Though this is not likely under our Ottawa aristocrat commune,
Where appointees rule the roost until they are age seventy five,
And the rest of us may if we’re lucky, still be alive.




They don’t seem to realize that we need a new Constitution,
Otherwise what they will try to do, will not be a solution,
Show all the present pompous appointees the door,
And please tell each one that we don’t need any more.

CLOSE DOWN THE SENATE PLEASE … OCT 29TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

What will Stephen Harper do about the Senate excitement?
Will three senators be fired or suffer some indictment?
Could he close down the Senate completely or is that against the rules?
There are no NDP party members there so they can’t be fools.



If one group of appointees was asked about another; what would they say?
If the Supreme Court is asked about the Senate; on a nice day,
Can we delete the Senate completely and what would it mean?
Could we end the ongoing scandal and who would that demean?



Because the ongoing Senate scandal has captured the media,
In order to explain this; I need another encyclopedia,
Pointing fingers; he-said-she-said accusations go on and on,
Can’t take any more as I fall asleep or have a yawn.

HEADLINES AROUND THE GLOBE… OCT 28TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

The ongoing Senate scandal shows that we have little control,
Our senators were appointed  -- no election, so they’re on a roll,
Therefore we may not know who they are in that bright Red Chamber,
Therefore each and every one of them could be a complete stranger.



So much for our democracy; there’s something obviously wrong,
Though appointed party politicians think the whole system is strong,
They say they can’t be fired no matter how or if they cheat,
Claim he-said or she-said this or that so the system may be beat.



Our continuous scandal has made headlines around the globe,
Maybe the cops should come and have an investigative probe,
But party members, like religious groups believe that they are right,
And the system can’t be changed because they have a green light.

NO NEED TO VOTE...OCT 27TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

So  there’s no need to vote though they say that this freedom is great,
No political changes needed and please, no need for this debate,
Human nature is such in that we are easily led,
By religion, nationality or political party we’re wed.



We need compulsory voting and death with dignity soon,
Stuff not mentioned in the ongoing Senate scandal scene,
Because somehow or other they can sweep this under the rug,
As if it never existed and all we can get is a shrug.



So sit quietly at your computer and read this awful stuff,
Then you can just as quietly and discreetly, walk away in a huff,
Because this is the way it is, it was and will be,
We have to wait for someone to change things as we wait to see.

GUTLESS SENATE ...OCT 26TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

If the government has the power but do it ;do they have the guts?
They want to tinker with the appointed Senate; no ifs, no ands, no buts,
Term limits might help or even Senate elections,
But Quebec government is annoyed about these selections.

Apparently it’s unconstitutional so please stop,
While only appointed aristocrats want to decide on the lot,
So seven provinces and half the people need to be in too,
So please no more aristocrat appointees lined up in a queue.

And our appointed Supreme Court wants in on this; from up high,
The same crowd that denied Sue Rodriguez permission to die,
Our senators didn’t have to work on a Friday till now,
The whole place is upset because of this ongoing row.

DELETE THE SENATE … OCT 25TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

In order to delete the Senate; what do we need to do?
I get the impression that most of us don’t have a clue,
And those who have senate jobs would be completely opposed,
Cushy job till they’re seventy five so they don’t want it closed.

But the place seems to cause more trouble and scandal than it’s worth,
The massive GST was an example that it can be rearranged thenceforth,
Has any normal person said anything good about the place?
Should they be elected like they are in the United States?

Or could we turn the place into a nice bright Ottawa bingo hall?
Leave the red carpet and the chairs where they are and have a ball,
But do our present politicians have these kind of guts?
And many of them may think that this idea is nuts?

STOP the SCANDALS...OCT 24TH, 2013   
BY

For some reason, less than half Canadians vote in elections,
Therefore party politicians keep their advantage in selections,
Therefore those who get elected, want to keep it that way,
And those who want change, are not allowed to have their say.

While those who get an appointment to the Senate have it made for life,
At least until they are seventy five -- well paid and little strife,
Like aristocrats sitting in the Red Chamber very aloof,
It’s unknown and I never heard of one of them, raising the roof.

So we need a Canadian Compulsory Voting Law soon,
Not in ten years time when and if we get a blue moon,
That plus binding referendums and death with dignity would help,
Get us out of these annoying scandals and no need to yelp.

STOP GRUMBLING … OCT 23RD, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Could they prorogue parliament again just to go fishing?
Could they pass a law that we should stop Internet bitching?
Because they are aristocrats and we are just non-voting numbers,
No compulsory voting, DWD and no more grumblers.



And another speech from the throne by an aristocrat up high,
And none of those compliant journalists will dare to explain why,
This is front-and-center political Ottawa stuff here and now,
And no one would dare to stand up straight and disallow.



Because we need death-with-dignity and the sooner the better,
We need one politician on our side who is a go-getter,
We also need compulsory voting which they swept under the rug,
And then they behave like appointed aristocrats and smug.

WE COULD ALL AGREE … OCT 22ND, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Could we rewrite the Constitution to fix our DWD affairs?
And get binding referendums so politicians have to care,
Then we the people could rule, rather than the aristocrats
And this could avoid the occasional political spat.

But how do we get our politicians to pay attention?
A changed Constitution could do it without causing much tension?
The political agenda should be ours and open
Not secret party stuff -- no DWD, compulsory votes -- broken

Media moguls and compliant journalists don’t care,
Like politicians, locked into some party agenda in this affair
And the next throne speech should emphasize the changes we need
And with a changed Constitution; we should be all agreed.

IS SELECT SUICIDE A SCANDAL … OCT 21ST, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Has the Vatican pedophile scandal vanished and gone away?
Is our present Senate scandal here forever to stay?
Is death-with-dignity completely illegal and banned?
Would another Red Chamber throne speech be politically grand?



What happens if Quebec gets death-with-dignity and we don’t?
Could we here in Ontario then claim that we were disowned?
Could the Ottawa aristocrats prorogue parliament once more?
Could compulsory voting become an issue and why do they deplore?



So here we are watching rush-hour traffic on TV and think we’re great,
While death-with-dignity is denied and never comes up for debate,
We may go to Switzerland to die but not to Quebec,
Because that’s in their DWD law that we didn’t write or select.
