WHY CAN'T IT HAPPEN?          …   OCT 30TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our politicians have avoided death-with-dignity for years,

For no known reason but maybe it has something to do with their careers,

They are all politically correct and some talk on TV,

But nothing controversial, unsuitable for them or you or me.

Let's face it; Canadian terrorists, if any,  have Charter rights,

No mention of capital punishment -- out of mind, out of sight,

And the appointed Senate can stay until they are all seventy five,

Maybe longer; who knows; so long as these appointees thrive.

If they allowed doctors to give assistance to those sick who want to die,

It would solve a lot of problems but they refuse and won't say why,

They told Sue Rodriguez with Lou Gehrig's disease and she died,

In pain and sorrow and not one judge or politician even cried.

TIME TO THINK …        OCT 28TH, 2014

JAMES BREDIN

Where death with dignity is banned and never never mentioned,

Though they have it in Quebec but it could still cause tension,

Have they let their rank and authority go to their large heads?

In parliament, many acting abnormal like disciplined thoroughbreds.

Doctor assisted death; not allowed and never never mentioned,

Therefore their opposition to legal suicide is strengthened,

They are convinced they are right so the others are committing a sin,

Going straight to hell for them so they will never have a win win.

Indeed you might think that this is no big important matter,

Just something to cause certain people to get excited and chatter,

Until you come face to face with some horrible disease and death,

And you know you are coming close to your very last breath.

DEMOCRACY ... OCT 27TH, 2014

DEMOCRACY  …      Oct 27th, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Appointed Canadian senators are responsible to who?

They gave us our extortionate Goods and Services Tax on cue,

Their appointed Senate cannot be changed by you so just shut up,

You would be better off to spend more time at your golf club.

We have no influence or input into high matters like this,

So much for democracy which we don't seem to complain or miss,

Senate changes are not forthcoming because they don't have the time,

No one has ever complained so everything must be fine.

And death with dignity is not mentioned anywhere up there,

No such thing as set-date elections, so appointees don't care?

And proportional representation is never mentioned,

Senators can stay there till they are really old and pensioned.

NO REFERENDUMS FOR YOU ….      OCT 26TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Texas has lethal injections in their justice system but we do not,

Our capital punishment was cancelled and most Canadians forgot,

Our politicians became politically correct so no one could hang,

That includes terrorists with guns or bombs going bang bang.

If we had binding referendums, we could probably figure it out,

Let our politicians know what this is really all about,

But that probably means; we would have to change the Charter,

So soldiers and police could avoid becoming martyrs.

The writing is on the wall or the Internet for everyone to see,

The warnings and the threats are all there for you and for me,

Our elites are extremely set in their politically correct ways,

No referendums, no doctor assisted death, no matter what you say.

DEATH TERRORISTS HANGING ... OCT 25TH, 2014

DEATH TERRORISTS HANGING …..OCT 25TH, 2014

Why is it so difficult to discuss or plan our deaths?

Is it political, religious or connected to the financial debt?

How do we change the laws to make it acceptable and legal?

Could we get charged and would we need a lawyer or a paralegal?

Death is therefore not a subject that is easily discussed,

Many people look at it with complete utter disgust,

Because death will end their many relationships in life,

That means religions, love, hate and all that needed employment strife.

Why does Switzerland and four US states, have it and we don't?

Is it our politicians who are politically correct and just won't,

Did they ban capital punishment a long time ago?

What can we do with the next terrorist shooting Canadians though?

LEGALIZED SUICIDE ... OCT 24TH, 2014

LEGALIZED SUICIDE….        OCT 24TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Journalists opposed to legalized suicide, write every day,

Sanctimonious religious types allowed to have their say,

They've had their way with this subject for at least a thousand years,

When they die; they go straight to heaven, so they have no fears.

Its a well known fact that our politicians have their own agendas,

Not only that but they likely own their own big fancy haciendas,

Their party leaders tell them to comply and never clash,

Or they might get kicked out of their party in a flash.

I would like to sit down and plan the when, where and how of my death,

In twenty forty two when I'm a hundred and five and how lucky can you get?

Pompous parsons and bishops would all oppose this thought,

They all went to a holy college and that's what they were taught.

SHOULD WE LOCK THEM UP? OCT 22ND, 2014

SHOULD WE LOCK THEM UP    OCT 22ND, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Should we lock up those inclined to be terrorist types or just watch?

Could our reaction to terrorist events be something we could botch?

Can we rewrite the Charter in order to curtail their rights?

So that we can just lock them up and just turn out the lights.

Is this something we should get excited about or just watch on TV?

Could these incidents get out of hand and affect you and me?

Should the rights of a would-be terrorist be taken into account?

How would the Supreme Court react or would they discount?

Apparently they have the names of these would-be terrorist types,

No doubt each and everyone of them claiming Charter rights,

So that they can't be arrested because they haven't broken the law,

But ordinary people looking on, find that this is beginning to gnaw.

LIKE THE SWISS …              Oct 22nd, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Unfortunately those in high places never want to agree,

They tend to view suicide as sinful and awful debauchery,

Therefore it is treated as something to be avoided at all costs,

Like a big bee hive in a tree full of huge stinging wasps.

Canada needs to arrange binding referendums like the Swiss?

Ottawa would have to pay attention instead of all going for a piss,

We could tell them that death with dignity is vital here and now,

Or they will lose their party-position jobs which we would allow.

But binding referendums probably means a constitutional change,

Because we can't quite do it like the Province of Quebec arranged,

We need someone who can amend the Charter of Rights in our favour,

Because these Charter changes might be a real life saviour

WHO IS PULLING THE STRINGS?       OCT 20TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

What can we do to cause political Ottawa change?

Because death-with-dignity should be legalized and arranged,

Because four US states and Quebec have it now,

Therefore  we should be able to do this without causing a row.

Why is doctor assisted death never mentioned up there?

Are they so high up in Ottawa, that they can't breath the air?

Is the Sue Rodriguez decision going to effect us all our lives?

Even if we die in terrible pain slowly waiting for death to arrive.

Why have we been treated as if we were completely unknown?

Treated as if we didn't have an address, an e-mail or a phone

Why do they call it assisted suicide, as if it is a crime?

Who is pulling the strings up there now and all the time?

WE CAN'T TELL THEM WHAT TO DO ….               OCT 19TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Time flies; things happen; words are often said behind closed doors,

If death-with-dignity was dropped; proper politicians might score,

One annoying subject which of course, the religious seem to despise,

And religious folk are holy and forbidden to tell lies.

Therefore subjects they avoid are never brought up for discussion,

Therefore death-with-dignity will never cause political repercussion,

Because Quebec has death-with-dignity, doesn't mean, we should foo,

But if we had a referendum; the opposition would be seen as only a few.

Could I move to Quebec to get my death-with-dignity rights?

In order to avoid a painful terrible death in the middle of the night,

Unfortunately our politicians will not allow referendums in any way,

Because we might tell them, what to do and therefore what to say.

JAILS FOR PROFIT ... OCT 17TH, 2014

JAILS FOR PROFIT

BY

James Bredin

If the Americans can have jails for profit, why can't we?

Is there any way we could get our politicians to agree?

Because it is extremely expensive to keep a man in jail,

And there must be a cheaper way to do it in great detail.

Why do we call them correctional facilities instead of jails

Is it our early release system, the good food or our easy bails?

Is there something we need to know to improve our organization?

The huge expense, the overcrowding without an explanation.

Why is this subject so shunned by our comfortable politicians?

Unfortunately we have Trudeau’s Charter and soft conditions,

Without referendums or recall so nothing will be done,

That and no death with dignity and nothing can be won.

WE HAVE PRIDE …        OCT 15TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our religious types want to rule the roost for ever and ever,

They are part of the establishment and think they are quite clever,

Therefore death with dignity will never never be allowed,

Not for the Ontario or the other Canadian crowd.

But Quebec has already passed a death-with-dignity law,

They also have referendums and do not think that this is a flaw,

But somehow; on this issue, we seem to be stuck in no-man's land,

And our Ottawa establishment seems to think that this is grand.

We need a change to the Charter or maybe the rules of the road,

They don't want to understand us; its as if we speak in code,

We need someone with a very loud voice on our side,

Because we know we are right and we know we have pride.

A MISSION ... OCT 14TH, 2014

A FIERCE HOLY MISSION ….     OCT 14TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

A planned peaceful painless death would be a good way to die,

But there are many opponents to this idea and I don't know why,

Though they write page after page trying to explain,

And it makes sense to them; though it won't go into my brain.

Religious enthusiasts have their own reasons and think they're right,

Their enthusiasm strikes me that this issue is not in their sight,

Because everlasting hell and punishment does not make sense to me,

Of course I know that there is no way in hell that they will agree.

So I think we should relax and slowly get back to reality,

Realize we should change death-with-dignity legality,

If Quebec can do it, we can do it; despite the opposition,

Though they behave as if they are on a fierce holy mission.
