CAN’T LOOK IN THE MIRROR June 11th, 2011

Various appointees dressed up like Santa Clause, behaving like god,
Refused to give Sue Rodriguez her death-with-dignity nod,
They are obviously and definitely a sign that we should change,
This is complicated in Trudeau’s Charter and difficult to arrange.



If we could elect Supreme Court judges, that would be better,
How do we start this change – with an e-mail or a letter?
Not likely you will read or hear this in the media soon,
Because they too want nothing to change in our little commune.



Though we have permission for more abortion clinics here and there,
Maybe reduce the number of live Canadians but do they care?
We’re locked in politically correct policies and can’t complain,
And we may soon have more injection sites – another no-brain.

HOW UNITED ARE WE Jun 10th, 2011

If Switzerland can have binding referendums, why can’t we?
They also have death with dignity, which we’re not allowed to see,
Is it our politicians or our Supreme Court that says no?
Is it expected that we will forever shut up and kowtow?



How do we get this on their pompous political agenda?
Are they busy taxing and spending on their hacienda?
How do we get them to listen to our problems and pay attention?
As they assume that in Canada there can be no tension.



Have I got your attention or should I apologize?
There’s no need to go home and think about this and agonize,
We just need to change our constitution but I forgot,
That’s almost impossible in Trudeau’s constitutional knot.

NO CHANGES ALLOWED June 9th, 2011

We have this unfortunate premise that we got everything right,
With our appointed judges and senators given the green light,
With a constitution that’s too difficult to alter or change,
And then it gets worse because we don’t think of this as strange.



No proportional representation or binding referendums,
Therefore we can’t give our pompous politicians ultimatums,
And we can’t have death with dignity because that’s a sin,
In our system only selected appointees always win.



We can’t have propositions because no one knows what they are,
Can’t have set-date elections because that might be bazaar,
A plebiscites could be important but what are they about?
Can’t have one because the people are not allowed to have clout.

ELECTED CANADIAN SENATORS June 8th, 2011
By
jamesbredin.com

Canadian senators are appointed rather than elected,
Some of these unknown appointees don’t deserve to be selected,
So we need to change this system and the sooner the better,
Or maybe we could put out a request for change on twitter.



But our politicians and sycophants want things to remain the same,
An appointment could set them up for life with a fancy name,
So nothing should change they claim because they have the inside track,
Connections here and there with the ruling political pack.



And you are just a number somewhere at the bottom down below,
You can’t speak French, have no political drag, so you kowtow,
And you don’t know if or when someone might bring about change,
You are not even allowed to think that all this might be strange.

HOW DO WE CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION? June 7th, 2011
By
jamesbredin.com


Peace, order and good government may not be good enough,
No recall or binding referendums though this could be rough,
Politicians speaking in slogans with no set-date elections,
Don’t want political issues and don’t want inspections.



The subject of abortion is taboo in all prime time,
It’s a feminist issue so they can’t go past that line,
It’s one of the reasons we are going in a circle nowhere?
Referendums and death with dignity will not be our affair.



Politicians speak out of both sides of their mouths on agenda,
Don’t have an independent thought outside party propaganda,
Therefore we’re going nowhere fast because they hate any change,
It would be nice though if it could be politically arranged.

CANADIAN BINDING REFERENDUMS June 5th, 2011

By
jamesbredin.com

If the Swiss have binding referendums, why can’t we?
Are we so submissive that we get down on one knee?
If those in Oregon have death with dignity, why can’t we?
Is this a Supreme-Court dictatorship where we have to agree?



It might mean that us Canadians could call the place ours.
And the establishment hierarchy might loose some power.
We need a permanent constitutional committee for change,
But our appointees and politicians refuse to arrange.



Because no one has the guts to propose this type of change,
The complacent media look on these ideas as very strange,
It can’t happen, it will not happen because it’s completely banned,
Without binding referendums, Canadians just can’t demand.
