POLITICAL FROZEN FEET ... OCT 7TH, 2013

POLITICAL FROZEN FEET

Oct 7th, 2013

By

James Bredin

No propositions and no binding referendums allowed,

The establishment types want us to talk but with our heads bowed,

To show respect and don’t dare try to turn on the Internet,

Strange ideas that might get inside our heads and then infect.

No mid-term or set-date elections or maybe none at all,

Their political parties have us with our backs against the wall,

No proportional representation in their first-past-the-post,

Banned from the UN Security Council though they might boast.

At one time I thought that they might bring about political change,

Remember Mulroney’s GST and what his Senate arranged,

No one with an independent thought is allowed to come forth,

And death with dignity is not allowed, nor will it be henceforth.

Death without dignity ... Oct 6th, 2013

Death without dignity … OCT 6TH, 2013

By

James Bredin

Death without dignity could be death with lots of pain,

But those who died in pain are no longer around and can’t complain,

Canadian politicians and Ottawa elites will not discuss,

They don’t want Canadians to think or ever cause a fuss.

We should be able to discuss our deaths before we disappear,

And suicide assistance should not be an offence to fear,

Those who feel it’s time to die should be allowed to do so,

But officials are worried that someone might think it’s a game show.

Because the elites in Ottawa are much holier than thou,

We can’t even think about this matter unless they allow,

Binding referendums and euthanasia are completely banned,

Like political recall too and it’s all at their command.

I COULD BE A SENATOR ... OCT 5TH, 2013

I COULD BE A SENATOR … OCT 5TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

What did those senators do to get a senate appointment?

Could I do it too or would I only be a disappointment?

Okay okay, I’m over seventy five but that’s not  the point.

Because they can lounge till they are seventy five in that joint.

Therefore I wouldn’t get an appointment because of my age,

A blatant form of discrimination and I’m all enraged,

Should I write a letter of complaint to the Supreme Court?

Tell them I want an appointment and I need their support.

Because they are appointees too so maybe they would understand,

And they can change all the rules and laws in our great land,

And I could be a half-asleep appointee in that Red Chamber,

I could start before Christmas, maybe in early December.

IS THIS TRUE … OCT 4TH, 2013

JAMES BREDIN

Our senators would be unemployed if we abolished that place,

Do we have the power to do that and would it be a disgrace?

Can someone name something good that the Senate might have done?

Why were they appointed till they’re seventy five -- everyone?

Could our appointed Supreme Court, just refuse to let this happen?

And even write their high handed command in legal Latin?

And are we allowed to change the Constitution by ourselves?

Just remember, that they are all appointed aristocrats themselves.

We are talking extremely elite high handed blue-blood stuff,

Even if they were only appointed; that might be enough,

Is this something like Trudeau’s Charter except different?

Would the Queen have to sign it or is that relevant?

FIRST PAST THE POST ... OCT 3RD, 2013

FIRST PAST THE POST  … Oct 3rd, 2013

By

James Bredin

If the loosers get more votes than the winner; what does that mean?

Is our first-past-the-post system stranger than it should seem?

Because the combined votes of the loosers can be more than the winner,

Is there a better system or are we always a beginner?

We should have a law that requires all Canadians to vote,

Australia has it and loves it already; so take note,

Also our system of first-past-the-post may not be right

Voters wanted the opposition candidates; now out of sight

It’s all very nice if there are only two politicians running,

But if there are three or more; the results can be stunning,

The combined votes of loosers can be more than he/she who got elected

Therefore the first-past-the-post system should be suspected

RIGHT TO DIE … OCT 2ND, 2013

By

James Bredin

I feel I should have a right to die when and where I want,

And disobey orders from the establishment commandant,

It doesn’t matter to me whether I go to heaven or hell,

What happens in this world is more important as you can tell.

God forbid, I should suffer from an incurable condition,

Some intolerably painful unfavorable position,

Where the doctors’ hands are tied because of our stupid ancient laws,

And I might like to die quickly and painlessly during a pause.

I hear diazepam or chloroquine could let me die on time,

But we can’t buy that stuff because right now it could be a crime,

So we need to change the rules about assisted suicide,

If we could do that, we could turn dying into an easy ride.

WE’RE BUSY AT THE MOMENT … OCT 1st, 2013

"Your call is very important to us so please stay on the line,"

Because up here in Ottawa we feel up on top and that’s a sign,

And you are probably one  of those who didn’t bother to vote,

That’s fine with us though I think you’ll have to stay on remote.

We’re going to appoint some Supreme Court judges early next week,

And more senators after that which you never can critique,

Then of course, we’ll appoint some members of the parole board,

They are all excellent establishment members and now they’ve scored.

Propositions and binding referendums, as you know are banned,

No recall or influence on politicians with slight of hand,

Proportional representation is out for first past the post,

We’re busy at the moment proroguing and totally engrossed.
