NO SCANDALS … JUNE 30TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We should be able to plan the date and time of our deaths,

But the Ottawa establishment, says we can’t do that yet,

And without binding referendums; there’s nothing we can do,

We are stuck at the bottom of the pile and we don’t have a clue.

Could Justin or anyone help us out of this situation?

Death-with-dignity would surely make us a stronger nation,

Pauline, Premier of Quebec is going to have it there,

But that leaves us scratching our heads and going nowhere.

The appointed Senate aristocrats are not on our side,

They’re too busy having scandals to tell where they’re allied,

Some they say, are reluctant to pay back bogus housing expenses,

They didn’t do it they say so there are no offences.

IS THERE A GOD ... JUNE 29TH, 2013

IS THERE A GOD? … June 29th, 2013

By

James Bredin

Which religion is right; as we listen to the pompous talk?

And could the athiests be right and  should we join their flock?

Because nobody really knows for sure despite all the prayers.

Despite the colorful vestments, bells and musical affairs.

Hundreds of wars have been fought about religions here and there,

Many religious holocausts make for historical nightmares,

Laws and rules are written even now, with holy overtones,

You can hear it all on your TV or even your I phones.

And there must be a god because that is what you were taught,

You were not given an option or even ever asked what you thought?

In certain countries even today you can die if you don’t believe,

Not just any religion, but their religion and they wouldn’t deceive.

TRANSPARANCY ... JUNE 28TH, 2013

TRANSPARANCY June 28th, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Transparancy and accountability are never up front,

Appointees and politicians could be pulling a stunt,

To hide and avoid a scandal so push the button marked delete,

And nothing can be done because politicians are so elite.

And our appointed elite senators may be up there near god,

It looks like they can do anything they like and just get a nod,

Expenditures are not the same when aristocrats are involved,

So there may not  be a need to have this whole scandal solved.

Or maybe, just maybe, it can all be swept under the rug,

And those friendly media moguls can just give a shrug,

And that’s all there is because there aint no more,

And as you leave the room; please close the door.

PAULINE ... JUNE 27TH, 2013

PAULINE … JUNE 27TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Is it possible Ontario could get assisted suicide?

After Quebec gets Bill 52 and we go along for the ride,

And Pauline Marois shows us the provincial health way,

And we’re so surprised, we don’t know what to say.

The first death-with-dignity Canadian should be made a saint,

Though I know this idea may cause some pious folk to faint,

And the Sue Rodriguez decision was probably wrong,

Contrary to the new Quebec Provincial Health Plan and we go along.

And now that you can read these poems, you have come a long way,

Media moguls once ruled the roost but now we have our say,

And if we reach a painful terrible place, we can then just go and die,

Someone should go and thank Pauline and we all know the reason why.

WHY BOTHER TO VOTE?  June 26th, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our politicians give the impression that nothing can be done,

They’re busy having a scandal though this may be the third one,

Reason why less than half Canadians even bother to vote,

And the system can’t be changed, altered or repaired so take note.

Appointed senators, like cardinals, are there almost for life,

Their list of entitlements is long and can cause some strife,

Naturaly they want to stay where they are for as long as they can,

A secret selection but no election and they never ran.

And those who can and should do something about it; are busy too,

On a plane going to a conference doing the sudoku,

Photo oportunities here there everywhere on earth,

No changes for you as everything goes back and forth.

QUEBEC BILL 52 FOR YOU ... JUNE 25TH, 2013

QUEBEC BILL 52 FOR YOU … JUNE 25TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Quebec has Bill 52 and will have death-with-dignity soon,

Though we have been trying for years in our isolated commune,

What do they have that we can’t have and are banned?

Will Ontario and the other provinces be treated offhand?

Why can their National Assembly do this and our Queen’s Park can’t?

Do I hear someone singing holy hyms or a gregorian chant?

Four US states already have it now and half of Europe too,

Those singers I hear, don’t want anything like that to go through.

The Sue Rodrigues decision nailed it all down for us back then,

But Quebec Bill 52 has been written by very wise men,

If we could go to Quebec for death-with-dignity; it would be great,

If they put it in their new law; we wouldn’t need much debate.

DEATH-WITH-DIGNITY AGAIN

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Is it religion, party politics or a hidden agenda?

That keeps death-with-dignity out of our addenda?

If Quebec gets it; should we get it too or is that all there is?

Are our politicians in another world or in show biz?

Why are Canadian politicians in hiding on this?

Why can’t we have death-with-dignity like the Swiss?

Will the Sue Rodriguez decision haunt us forever?

Do our politicians and elites think that this is quite clever?

Will we have to change the Constitution because of this?

Could we change it along the lines of the Swiss?

Or is this subject too holy to be openly discussed?

And what can we do to show the elites, our utter disgust?

NEW CANADIAN CONSTITUTION ... JUNE 23RD, 2013

NEW CANADIAN CONSTITUTION...  JUNE 23RD, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Its obvious that Canadians need a Constitutional change,

Though our politicians and appointees refuse to arrange,

They are part of the Ottawa establishment though remote,

And more than half Canadians refuse to show interest or vote.

But the numerous scandals fill the newspapers every day,

And the establishment hopes it will all soon blow away,

And appointed senators stay until they are seventy five,

Though some may be fidling with the figures as they thrive.

Binding referendums could get rid of scandals very soon,

Annualy and compulsory attendance for all in the commune,

Unfortunately we don’t have a leader to put this in place,

So be prepared for even more scandals right in our face.

STOP THE SCANDALS ... JUNE 22ND, 2013

STOP THE SCANDALS ... JUNE 22ND, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

For some reason less than half Canadians vote in elections,

So therefore party politicians have an advantage in selections,

And all those elected party politicians, want to keep it this way,

And those who want to change have little or nothing to say.

While those who get an appointment to the Senate have it made for life,

That plus a long list of entitlements, should end all their strife,

So there’s no need to complain or  make a noise or make any waves,

And there’s no death-with-dignity when you go to your grave.

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.

CANADIAN APPOINTED SENATE... June 21st, 2013

by

JAMES BREDIN

It’s not our appointed Senate that is at fault; it’s us,

We have allowed an elite corporate conspiracy without a fuss,

And less than half of us bother to vote in any election,

All these little details may indeed have a connection.

There is no doubt about it but Canada needs to change,

Unfortunately our appointed senators think this is too strange,

Conspiracies for life-long cushy jobs behind the scene,

Elite travelling appointed aristocrats seldom if ever seen.

Canadians should have a binding referendum once a year,

Compulsory attendance of a five dollar fine; is that clear?

Only questions that can be answered with a yes or a no,

On or about the tenth of September each year in a row.

A SCANDELOUS ATTITUDE ... JUNE 20TH, 2013

A SCANDELOUS ATTITUDE … JUNE 20TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Canadian senators’ attitude of entitlement is hard to believe,

Refuse to reimburse housing claims that went on for years,

It shows that we the people have a problem that’s very rough,

While our other politicians have now taken the summer off.

Appointees entitled to the Red Chamber till seventy five,

Got there because of connections or maybe they connive,

It’s obvious that appointed senators should be elected,

The mentality of their entitlements should be disconnected.

Some US states elect their judges and have assisted suicide.

But like Sue Rodriguez, we don’t and are compelled to comply,

But if Quebec is allowed assisted suicide; what will we do?

Is there something coming down the pipe, that is way overdue?

DWD COMING YOUR WAY … JUNE 19TH, 2013

by

James Bredin

If Quebec gets death-with-dignity and other provinces don’t,

Will this finally bring the life-and-death issue to the forefront?

Where politicians and appointees refused to change and still refuse,

They have a lot of entitlements and may be away on a cruise.

But our death-with-dignity is not only banned, it’s illegal,

Since the Supreme Court Sue Rodriguez decision went legal,

So there’s a constitutional problem looming in our future,

Complicated legal stuff and you may need a computer.

Half of Europe and four US states have assisted suicide now,

But for some reason our elite hierarchy still refuse to allow,

Add that to our appointed Senate scandal where nothing can change,

Is it pride or religions or stupidness that says we can’t rearrange?
