WHAT CANADIANS SHOULD KNOW   … May 31st, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

What if a provincial politician announced his/her position?

That death-with-dignity should be a provincial position.

And it should not be hidden out of sight and out of mind,

Canadians should know that they are not being left behind.

Though media moguls seldom allow this subject to be mentioned,

They themselves seldom speak about this even at their conventions,

If it is not mentioned, it is therefore a forbidden subject,

Those who want death with dignity, have no way to connect.

If Quebec gets it; does that mean, other provinces will get it too?

Should we go out and learn French just to hear how they do?

What strings will the opposition pull to stop this whole affair?

Is there an elected party politician in Canada who even cares?

CANADIANS NEED REFERENDUMS … MAY 28TH, 2015

JAMES BREDIN

Canadians need a referendum on death-with-dignity soon,

Why is it so difficult to get this past some political goon?

Why is it so seldom mentioned in provincial political stuff?

Why do these politicians just stand and huff and puff?

While citizens all around them face an undignified death,

Many may be in pain and on or near their last breath,

As though this political problem has been cast aside,

Therefore Canadian death-with-dignity will never be tried.

We need binding referendums in the Constitution soon,

So as not to be led by a group of political goons,

Whose decisions can't be questioned or problems mentioned,

And they stay in Ottawa until they are due for a pension.

JUST ONE PROVINCIAL POLITICIAN ... MAY 27TH, 2015

JUST ONE PROVINCIAL POLITICIAN      … MAY 27TH, 2015

If one provincial politician in Canada should mention this,

He/She could be famous in his/her political career of bliss,

Because death with dignity is serious Canadian stuff,

Too many of our present politicians are not loud enough.

Because for some strange reason, they've swept this under the rug,

Therefore the upper echelon feel that they are politically smug,

But those of us who are old or soon to die, are not so sure,

And their hidden death-with-dignity is not a cure.

Because doctor assisted death could send a doctor to jail,

And for this reason, the whole system is liable to fail,

Seldom even mentioned by media moguls, so you may not know,

A provincial or national referendum would be good though.

GET ONE OF THEM TO CAUSE A FUSS      MAY 26TH,  2015

Ontario should be the first province to arrange this affair,

Though we might wonder if Ontario politicians even care,

Or have they too hidden death-with-dignity behind a closed door?

Should we or could we ask, or do they even know the score?

This has long been hidden by all Ottawa party politicians,

And none of them will admit this or make any other admissions,

Because they want to stay in power for as long as they can,

And death-with-dignity is not part of their party floor plan.

They may have it in Switzerland and five US states but not here,

Some preachers call it suicide; therefore it should be feared,

Still Ontario could do it, if we have a politician with guts,

And how do we get just one of them to cause a fuss?

Why is the issue of death-with-dignity buried somewhere?

Five US states already have it but that's over there,

It's a graphic illustration that here in Canada we need to change,

But neither our federal or provincial politicians will arrange.

Death with dignity is what the people want and need,

And these are extremely important political issues indeed.

But our politicians have hidden it quietly behind closed doors,

So the issue is silenced so therefore no one will roar.

You might wonder who is pulling these political strings?

Does he/she expect to die in dignity and float away on wings?

Do we have one provincial politician with the guts?

To say, this is a provincial issue, no ifs ands or buts.

Why are our politicians so reluctant to change?

And death-with-dignity must be considered illegal and strange?

Why is this issue hidden behind closed doors?

Have Canadians been told that this is something they cannot score?

Will this be an election issue or stay forever hidden?

Will it not happen because its forever forbidden?

Who is pulling the strings that has caused these events?

And why are they so extremely reluctant to relent?

For some strange reason, our politicians have been told,

The idea of death-with-dignity has to be put on hold,

Why is this never-mentioned quiet stuff, kept behind closed doors?

And if its never said or told; nobody really knows.

ARE WE IN A DILEMMA?       MAY 19TH, 2015

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Death with dignity is seldom if ever mentioned in the papers,

Media moguls have decided to wait and leave it till later,

Why is it possible that such an important subject is a mystery?

Is there a connection between this and Canadian history?

Should we or could we, ask our politicians to explain this affair?

Is there some secret hidden reason that we should beware?

Five US States already have death-with-dignity now,

But for some hidden secret reason, our politicians won't allow.

The Supreme Court gave them a year to change the laws,

They haven't done it yet; maybe they have some secret cause,

Not a word spoken or published to help us out in this,

Some people who want to die have gone to see the Swiss.

If you are not interested in death-with-dignity now; you will,

Because we are all programmed to die and be stiff and still,

Therefore we have a common future in this regard,

Though this is something that politicians try to disregard.

We need politicians who will tell us what we need to hear?

Though it's death-with-dignity that they all seem to fear,

As if the subject is forbidden in and around where they meet,

And of course, this forbidden subject gives them cold feet.

Death-with-dignity seldom if ever comes up for debate,

This sinful forbidden subject is stopped at the gate,

Or swallowed by a million words here and there,

That buried the subject and they don't know where.

Indeed, you may not have heard about it until now,

Seldom if ever mentioned so can't cause a row,

Between preachers and sinners worried about suicide,

At the time of your death; hope there's a doctor on your side.

It's as if the idea of death-with-dignity can't be forgiven,

And if a province wants to buy in; they will be overridden,

And don't you dare even think about this issue,

You can't have it, so just cry some tears and use a tissue.

Preachers and politicians seem to think of it, as a sin,

Swept under the rug; you will go to hell so you can't win,

Though half of Europe and five US States have it now,

Can't be legalized here because it might cause a row.

I'm not sure who or why, the government is so opposed,

They just will not talk about this and keep their mouths closed,

Someone hidden in a building must know the answers here,

And if we don't talk about it; we have nothing to fear.

DO WE DESERVE WHAT WE GET?     May 7th, 2015

by

James Bredin

We deserve what we get from those we elect and there's nothing we can do,

As they tax and spend and travel but there's nothing there for you,

Not even death with dignity because that's against their law,

Which they will not change or rearrange because they can't see a flaw.

So go back to sleep and there's no need to weep because they want to stay,

You can walk in their parades and don't even think of moving away,

And show respect because they are right as you watch them on TV,

Though we're going to have an election soon and what will be, will be.

So turn off your computer and stop reading this kind of stuff,

Nothing can or will change because that would be too rough,

Switzerland and Oregon may have it but not you,

No death with dignity or doctor assisted death is due.
