OUR RECENT SENATE STORM ... DEC 14TH, 2013

OUR RECENT SENATE STORM … DEC 14TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Recently it seems we had a Senate scandal or two a day,

Something about e-mails and no one knows what is or is not okay,

And why or where the money went and who was really involved,

Then they went on Christmas holidays, so everything was solved.

And senators were appointed till they are seventy five,

A full time job and a senate title almost while we are alive,

And all kinds of other goodies that we seldom hear about,

Strange as it may seem; three of those senators were put out.

But binding referendums and DWD are forbidden,

Can’t even be mentioned and are completely hidden,

They never have an election so they are quietly pleased,

They were appointed and no one knows how or why this was achieved.

DEATH WITH DIGNITY PLEASE ... DEC 13TH, 2013 

Death with Dignity Please ... DEC 13TH, 2013

By

James Bredin

People in Quebec had a big debate about quality death,

They had one in Toronto too but few knew it might be a threat,

If the State of Oregon has Death with Dignity; why can’t we?

And Holland and Switzerland too are also be devotees.

Dying is often done in great misery, anxiety and pain,

Never mentioned from the pulpit or any political campaign,

Not politically correct and never mentioned in fear,

Religions oppose these ideas and want them to disappear.

You can’t control your destiny at the end of your life,

The religious elites emphasise that there can be no strife,

If you behave and believe all their rules and regulations,

You can die screaming in pain but there are no complications.

COULD THIS BE TRUE ... DEC 11TH, 2013

COULD THIS BE TRUE … DEC 11TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Could our senators be unemployed if we abolish that place?

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

Can you 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 alone?

I can almost hear the Ottawa hierarchy letting out a groan.

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

Even if they were only appointed; that is surely enough,

Is this something like Trudeau’s Charter except different?

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

WE’RE VERY BUSY AT THE MOMENT .. DEC 10TH, 2013

"Your call is important to us, so please hold the line,

Because up here in Ottawa we feel we’re on top and very divine,

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

That’s fine with us but I still think we’ll have to put you 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 so busy at the moment that we’re totally engrossed.”

OUR NEXT POLITICAL STEP … DEC 9TH, 2013

Canada should have binding referendums in the Charter,

Like Switzerland where people can show that they are smarter,

But our politicians would jump up and down and shout and scream,

Because this could be compared to taking away a kid’s ice cream.

We could have a binding referendum to change parole boards,

Make them responsible to the public and not act like lords,

Referendums to pick senators, governor generals and more,

Of course this would be something our appointees would deplore.

These ideas would give power to the people -- not appointees,

But these kind of political changes do not happen with ease,

So we need a political leader who can lead us all the way,

Not some appointee who is in it just for the very high pay.

PAULINE, PREMIER OF QUEBEC ... DEC 8TH, 2013

PAULINE, PREMIER OF QUEBEC…  DEC 8TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We should all admire Pauline, premier of Quebec,

So the deaths of her people, need not be a painful wreck,

Her Bill 52 will give them death-with-dignity for sure,

And their medically assisted dying could be a sort of cure.

Maybe just maybe the rest of Canada will follow along,

Unless our appointed Supreme Court says it’s all wrong,

It happened when Sue Rodriguez with Lou Gehrig’s tried,

Since then many Canadians facing death in pain, have cried.

Pauline of course has church and political opposition,

If its not an archbishop or a priest, its some politician.

And the Ottawa crowd are too busy with a scandal a day,

They are so busy; they just want to dodge and stay away.

IN OTTAWA ...DEC 7TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

In Ottawa where referendums are considered a mortal sin,

And death-with-dignity is banned so Canadians can’t win,

And there’s no need to vote so less than half the people do,

And senators are appointed till they are 75 so what’s new?

And those many Senate scandals mean nothing at all,

Because the appointed senators may be busy having a ball,

A nice quiet no-pressure job until they are seventy five,

By then, you or I and our relatives, may not even be alive.

So forget the notion, that politically something should change,

No politician has the guts for this to be arranged,

They are elite appointees entrenched forever in our lives,

I heard it said that some of them may have husbands or wives.
