SENATE APPOINTEES MAY 31ST 2012

Senate Appointees    May 31^st 2012

By

James Bredin

Conservative majority plus Mulroney-type appointees,

Shocked us with the unexpected, back then, and gave us the GST,

An extortionate tax that has kept all Canadians down,

And even today, many years later,  good people still frown.

But no politician has stood up and said, let’s lower that tax,

A burdensome tax like that should have been, long ago, whacked,

 Still even today appointees come from secret appointee lists,

We can’t vote for senators and our politicians still persist.

Democracy is an illusion as far as they are concerned,

We are forbidden binding referendums that are spurned,

Their hidden agenda will be discussed behind closed doors locked,

Where democracy, input and the people have been blocked.

EVERYTHING IS GRAND MAY 29TH, 2012

EVERYTHING IS GRAND     MAY 29^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our present politicians in Ottawa think everything is grand,

But unfortunately there is a lot of good stuff that is banned,

Proportional representation and mandatory votes,

Death with dignity and binding-referendum footnotes.

We need set-date elections so that we know what’s coming down,

So that we’re not kept in the dark, getting worried and run-down,

We need to elect all those who are appointed from secret lists,

Nothing to do with democracy but our aristocrats persists.

We should elect the appointed Supreme Court and senators too,

Secret names with unknown agendas that nobody knew,

These changes should be easy if we find a politician with guts,

Preferable one who is normal and not one who is nuts.

WHO AND WHY? MAY 25TH, 2012

WHO AND WHY?      MAY 25^TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Why are our aristocrats so opposed to set-date elections?

Why do they allow free clinics for the drug-

addicts’ injections,

Why do they oppose binding referendums and mandatory votes?

Why do our media moguls all think that these ideas are gross?

Why lots of abortion clinics but death with dignity refused?

Why is proportional representation at elections, not used?

Who picks the future judges to be put on the secret list?

Could we bring about some major Charter changes or resist?

Could we send elected senators to the Senate instead?

Who do the present appointees represent – those talking heads?

Is it possible to have judicial reviews of our secret-list autocracy?

Or is it all buried deep in Ottawa bureaucracy?

GRIDLOCK MAY 24TH, 2012

Gridlock     May 24^th, 2012

By

James Bredin

It seems that Toronto has finally hit the gridlock snag,

Proud people looking out from windshields stuck on the main drag,

Others afraid that they’ll be hit by pieces of falling cement,

From the Gardner Express Way which could be a catastrophic event.

This could mean rearranging the flow of traffic here and there,

People may just have to take the subway more often and beware,

And if you want to go to the airport you better start to walk,

Because the subway doesn’t go there due to a lot of talk.

Can’t take the subway to the airport because it doesn't go there yet,

But going by the 401 might cause pollution and greenhouse effect,

Can’t build that subway because no one knows the way they say,

Toronto almost at a standstill causing quite one hell of a delay.

YOU CAN'T PLAN YOUR DEATH MAY 24TH, 2012

YOU CAN’T PLAN YOUR DEATH     MAY 24^RD, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Planned death with dignity is completely and adamantly banned,

By our Supreme Court judges and they think it’s legally grand.

They refused Sue Rodriguez when she tried to die in peace,

With painful Lou Gehrig’s disease, she wanted her life to cease.

They also made abortion-killing clinics legal here and there,

And unwanted unborn babies didn’t have a prayer,

Unborn babies, like other Canadians, can’t plan their deaths,

They are slaughtered before they even take their first breaths.

And it seems, we are stuck in square one and can’t change things around,

We have no choice other than to obey and knuckle down,

Even the criminal drug-addicts are getting free injection sites,

But not us and we can’t even claim, it should be our civil rights.

IS ABORTION LEGAL MURDER

IS ABORTION LEGAL MURDER? May 23rd, 2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Abortion is not murder or holocaust says our Supreme Court,
Though it was once highly illegal for ladies to abort,
And we are all caught in this politically-correct affair,
Though for some of us, it’s a constant daily nightmare.

And we’re not allowed death with dignity, regardless of events,
Sue Rodriguez  with Lou Gehrig’s disease, that she wanted to prevent,
And the Vancouver drug-addicts got their Insite free needle place,
And all these legal events and more to come, happen right in our face.

And we’re forbidden referendums and can’t change the Constitution,
No one is allowed to come up with a legal solution,
And those appointed from the secret lists are there till seventy five,
Far in the future when you and I may not even be alive.

OTTAWA DO SOMETHING MAY 22ND 2012

OTTAWA DO SOMETHING       MAY 22^ND, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Now that the Conservatives are in Ottawa, we need to change,

They are the only chance we have, because the others wont arrange,

We need binding referendums and death with dignity now,

Not another twenty years, waiting for the Supreme Court to allow.

The Americans in Oregon and Washington have it already.

We could too but the Supreme Court thinks we’re not ready,

At least that’s what they said to Sue Rodriguez when she tried to die,

She was already dying from painful Lou Gehrig’s disease; so why.

Why can’t I pick the date and time and place, I want to die?

Get my large family and friends around me and say good-bye,

Our friends in Ottawa should realize that this is all new,

If we had binding referendums, we could tell them what to do.

DRUG-ADDICT PROBLEMS MAY 21ST, 2012

                  DRUG-ADDICT PROBLEMS      MAY 21^ST, 2012

                                                   BY

                                       JAMES BREDIN

      Drug addicts getting injection sites is a demonstration,

That we the people are approaching a weird situation,

We’ve lost control of the decisions that control in our lives,

While addicts get free needles and may turn neighborhoods into dives.

We glance their agenda in bits and pieces so we should be prepared,

They haven’t arrived yet and nothing has been declared,

Without binding referendums, we have to wait and be surprised

Appointees from the secret lists can’t be dethroned or despised.

The papers seldom if ever mention this whole rotten affair,

So we are kept in the dark and never really made aware,

They’re out there now looking for an address as they continue to weave,

We’re going to get what we deserve for being so naïve.

APPOINTEES MAY 20TH, 2012

Appointees       May 20^th, 2012

By

James Bredin

Appointed aristocrats from very secret political lists,

In our so-called democracy; how come this system exists?

Dressed up like Santa Clause or bishops, like they got the nod from god,

No one even questions this system, which makes it twice as odd.

Appointees can stay in that position till they’re seventy-five,

Their pompous decisions can’t be questioned while we’re still alive,

They gave us abortion clinics and denied Sue Rodriguez her death,

Though she had Lou Gehrig’s disease in pain and near her last breath.

No one can ridicule our secret list appointee system of rules,

Our appointed establishment might look down on those fools,

But we should have a system of people input in high places,

Maybe binding referendums like the Swiss in certain cases.

WHY FEW CANADIANS VOTE MAY 19TH, 2012

WHY FEW CANADIANS VOTE    May 19^th, 2012

By

James Bredin

The reason is simple why so few Canadians vote,

Our politicians disappear to Ottawa, and stay there remote,

And those of us who vote get lots of political greetings,

But nothing changes because they’re all at committee meetings.

No referendums or proportional representation exists,

Can’t vote for a senator or judge -- they come from secret lists,

No death with dignity and many abortion-killing clinics,

Soon may have injection sites for drug addicts and other cynics.

No set-date elections because of Trudeau’s Constitution,

Though Quebec didn’t sign on and we still don’t have a solution,

They even had a referendum to separate completely,

Though they speak great French; they stayed and are still here though discreetly.

Canadians would mostly vote if there was a fine involved,

At tax time, through social number and the issue would be solved,

As every journalist would write that he/she had the answer all along,

And he/she would celebrate in our new sense of right and wrong
