WAY TO GO BRO   … DEC 30TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN


Binding referendums and compulsory voting, would put us there,
But less than half of us vote and not interested in our affairs,
If we had medically assisted death we could avoid dying in pain,
Quebec has it already so they have no great reason to complain.



But we have appointed senators that stay till they're seventy five
No one knows why they were appointed of if they are still alive,
And we can't get rid of these senators unless they retire or die,
And no one knows for sure how this was arranged or why?


Recall would be good for many of our stupid pompous politicians,
So that we the people don't have to tolerate their dumb ambitions,
But where do we find the man or woman to rewrite our constitution?
We could be compared to environmentalists so worried about pollution?

END-OF-LIFE TREATMENT       … DEC 29TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN
If I read much more about our politicians, I may get sick,
They refuse to pass doctor-assisted-death, like a brick,
And they do it quietly and silently because its not mentioned,
In their wild attempts to have their stay in power lengthened.

They go to meetings here and there and discuss what they like,
But death with dignity is something they seem to hate and dislike,
And they want to make sure they keep their slight majority,
Then they can deny death with dignity by pushing their authority.

What can we do with these bought politicians from hell?
We have no recall while they delete emails In their own cartel,
Their hospital end-of-life treatment may be good enough now,
But not near as good as doctor assisted death they refuse to allow.

A GOOD OR A BAD OMEN ... DEC 27TH, 2014

A GOOD OR A BAD OMEN   …   DEC 27TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

I'm trying to figure out, which group of politicians is worse?
Is it the Ottawa crowd or the Toronto crowd, that are the curse?
Which could give us doctor assisted death but they both refuse?
Is it all hidden under the carpet so as not to confuse?

Our upper echelon, with titles, oppose doctor assisted death,
As if they themselves will never die or be on their last breath,
And death-with-dignity is religious stuff so cannot change,
Our politicians seem confused and refuse to rearrange.

Is there a hidden religious guy somewhere giving them instructions?
Can't mention his name or any of the hidden obstructions,
Therefore death with dignity is never mentioned in the open,
Is all this secretive stuff, a good or a bad omen?

THIS TIME GET IT RIGHT     … DEC 26TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

How do we get rid of useless politicians without "recall"?
As they fool around with numbers and emails and delete them all,
Why are we stuck in this position, just reading it in the papers?
Having to tolerate their actions and transactions like vapours?

We need to change our Charter with the help of a referendum,
Before they add more and have another odd addendum,
Trudeau wrote the Charter of Rights but he missed a few things,
Without binding  referendums and recall, it sometimes stings.

Of course you know and they know, and this, they want to avoid,
On the odd chance that their political future that could be destroyed,
So find someone to rewrite Trudeau's Charter of Rights,
But add recall and binding referendums and maybe get it right.

WE WILL ALL DIE     … DEC 24TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

I'd like to die on the fifth of July twenty forty two,
I'll be a hundred and five by then so there will be nothing new,
On a quiet sunny Tuesday afternoon in the middle of June,
With Irish music in the background at high noon.

Of course I realize that death is not your favourite subject,
But you can't avoid it, no matter what your religion or sect,
Unfortunately, doctor-assisted death is banned here and now,
But it would help if we could get it made legal somehow.

Unfortunately our upper echelon want things to stay as they are,
They think that death-with-dignity is going too far,
Do they themselves think that they will never never die?
Well, I've got news for them, they will, so look up in the sky.

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG?    ….    Dec 23rd, 2014
By
JAMES BREDIN

Is there an omnipresent group in Ottawa that rules the roost?
Where no death-with-dignity law will be allowed or produced?
And we don't have a recall system so they stay forever there,
Nothing is allowed to change there, so we don't have a prayer.


Ontario politicians don't seem to care and why should they dare?
They never heard of doctor assisted death and just stare,
But they have it in Quebec and how did they manage to do that?
Did they have some friendly useful politicians go to bat?


Reading about Ontario politicians will cause you to think,
As their spending and debts and taxes come with a wink,
Helpless voters wondering what they may have done wrong,
And who is that in the background singing a song?

MAKE DEATH WITH DIGNITY LEGAL     DEC 22ND, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Why can't death with dignity be made legal now?
Why does Ottawa, after all these years, still disallow?
Is it religion, Supreme Court or they just can't agree?
Would it help if we asked an unelected Senate appointee?

Don't they realize that each and every one of them will die?
And they may not agree with the outcome as they say good-bye
In great pain and agony and the doctor can't give death assistance
Because established upper echelon put up resistance

They say they have it in Quebec now but we're still not sure
Are they that far ahead of us and are we just immature?
Someone somewhere should have the answer to this trouble
Or do we have to wait for another Ottawa bubble?

WHY DO WE DOUBT?      DEC 20TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN


The day you die will be the most important day in your life,
With no doctor-assisted-death, there's certain added strife,
Our party politicians think that maybe they will never die,
So there is no need to change or even bother to ask why.


We should be able to influence our politicians up there,
If we had binding referendums and compel them to care,
But how can we do that when they refuse to ever change?
We need to rewrite Trudeau's Charter and rearrange.


But where can we find a leader  to get us out of this mess?
Because party politicians already sold their souls so no progress
We know we should be able but how do we bring change about?
A Constitution with no binding referendums; so we doubt.

DEATH WITH DIGNITY AND YOU     ...    DEC 19TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Too many of my old comrades died in hospital beds,
Though I can still remember almost everything they said,
They had no choice about when, where or how they would die,
Without doctor assisted death, they couldn't even ask why?

It's a subject that our politicians will never discuss,
Because in Canada, they believe, it was ever thus,
Though they got it in Quebec which is a mystery to me,
Should we pay attention or pretend we don't see?

We don't have binding referendums so we're stuck,
No death with dignity for you or a non Quebec Canuck,
And our politicians are busy at the moment, here and there,
Without death-with-dignity, we don't have a prayer.

CAN WE CHANGE?  DEC 18TH, 2014
by
JAMES BREDIN

Compulsory voting by mail or by hand should be  the law,
Proportional representation, set-date elections and recall,
Doctor assisted death made legal by a binding referendum check
Tax-and-spend politicians should be considered grotesque.

All senators elected every five years on another set date,
Party politicians can't ignore the public in their debates,
Trudeau's Charter of Rights up for change every ten years,
If this can come to pass; Canadians will have no fears.

But for some unknown reason, we have to tolerate the here and now
No death with dignity because it might cause a row,
No politician can be recalled, no matter what he has done,
Busy travelling the world and talking on his cell phone.

RCN FOREVER           DEC 13TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Our Navy had tot time every day for hundreds of years,
Very strong old Royal Navy tradition for comrades and peers,
It was an up-spirits culture of two and a half ounces of rum,
If you were there back then, you knew the rules of thumb.

It had to be drank right there on the quarterdeck at noon,
Groups of matlos sitting around in little communes,
I'd like to go back again if only for one more tot time,
But they banned it in the seventies -- not very sublime.

And now they came up with more rules because some sailors got drunk,
They must have been too drunk to even find their own bunks,
I don't think the navy is as much fun now as it used to be,
Is it just what they are writing in the papers or is it just me?

SINFUL SUICIDE…                Dec 8th, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Many Canadian politicians go to Ottawa and hide,
Not all of them but many do, on their political ride,
So no doctor assisted suicide for you, my friend,
Even if you are in big pain and going 'round the bend.

Why would that be, and we seem to be caught in a trap?
We have no binding referendums and we can't give them a slap?
But we do have distant elections every five years,
Though nothing changes despite our tweets and tears.

The ideal death would be in comfort, dignity and peace,
No pain, discomfort or annoyance from something indiscreet,
No great need to be kept alive by artificial means,
Prolonging a painful life using some medical machines.

NATIONAL DEATH WITH DIGNITY        DEC 7TH, 2014
BY
JAMES BREDIN
Now hidden stuff -- never mentioned in parliament or on TV,
Even when the sick and dying from cancer make a political plea,
So we are caught in the dilemma of religion, politics and death,
And prominent party silence from the right, middle and left,

And we have no binding referendums so we cannot get a change,
Therefore nothing changes and they are too busy to arrange,
Trudeau gave us his Charter but with no binding referendums,
Can't force them to change so sometimes we really feel like bums.

Because doctor assisted death could be extremely important,
Otherwise you could be left to die alone in pain and torment,
We have elections every five years and what more could we want?
How about referendums and death with dignity and no need to taunt?
