IN OTTAWA ... DEC 7TH, 2013





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.

SENATE BINGO HALL 2 ... DEC 6TH, 2013








BINGO HALL 2 … DEC 6TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

I don’t care who did what, when or where in that scandal account,
But what was worth ninety thousand dollars -- such a large amount?
Scandal plagued Ottawa appointed aristocratic place,
Admitting, announcing, denying, lying, e-mailing in our face.



Is this the reason why less than half Canadians vote?
No wonder the elites look at us as dummies on remote,
Ottawa seems full of pompous appointees and aristocrats,
Being assisted by technocrats and hidden bureaucrats.




Those who get established politically want to avoid change,
Therefore no compulsory voting or referendums arranged,
We need compulsory votes, binding referendums and much more,
A new Senate bingo hall would be difficult to ignore.

A BINGO HALL ... DEC 5TH, 2013





A BINGO HALL … DEC 5TH, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

The Ottawa establishment has developed an attitude,
They are the establishment and they don’t need your gratitude,
And death-with-dignity is a provincial matter; so there!
And these many government scandals are not your affair.



Its hard to tell who did what and where and when and how much,
Ottawa aristocrat appointees are a complicated bunch,
A scandal a day with fingers pointed here and over there,
Remarks made about funds paid and no one seems to know where.



And this Senate scandal seems to be an ongoing affair,
By appointees who are there till they’re 75 and don’t care,
We should close the whole place down and turn it into a bingo hall,
A suggestion which the many appointees will try to stall.

BIGGER JAILS MIGHT HELP ... DEC 4TH, 2013




Bigger Jails Might Help

By

James Bredin

It sometimes appears as though our prisons are much too small,
And judges are worried that prisoners might be involved in a brawl,
So they allow prisoners easy bail or time in half-way houses,
It amounts to time off as they go home with their spouses.



This may be great for the prisoners but is a symptom of trouble,
A situation where the crime statistics could double,
It doesn’t take a lot of brains to know we need bigger jails,
It is not necessary to be told the whole gory details.



Much larger prisons should not be difficult to figure out,
Good for the extra prisoners too so they can run or walk about,
And then the judges wont have to bother sending prisoners home,
They can be sent to a larger jail and they’re never alone.

WHY BOTHER TO VOTE? ... DEC 3RD, 2013








Why bother to vote?... DEC 3RD, 2013
By
James Bredin
Less than half Canadians vote and we don’t seem to even care,
Because nothing much changes in Ottawa that we are aware,
Where illegal immigrants and refugees claim Charter rights,
Where death-with-dignity is refused for those wanting their last rites.



We need binding referendums which our elites always refuse,
They're busy taxing and spending and maybe going on a cruise,
We need set-date elections with a real date written down,
Not something adapted in a moment as they look around.



And the parole boards are busy letting criminals out of jail,
No capital punishment but lots of cheap and easy bail,
We are our own worst enemy with Trudeau's Charter of Rights,
Read the Swiss Constitution and they’re democratic fights.

WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE? ... DEC 2ND, 2013





WHAT’S GOING ON UP THERE?... DEC 2ND, 2013
BY
JAMES BREDIN

Why various attempts to whitewash Senate committee reports?
Tens of thousands of words churned out every day just to support,
Is it possible that the Liberals might come back from the dead?
And why should an overpaid senator get $90,000 for bread?



Eighty one pages of itemized Senate scandal stuff out there,
If we had binding referendums, we wouldn’t even care,
Because then we could have a referendum and change things around,
Unfortunately Canadians can’t know or hear that sound.



Death with dignity would be a small step in the right direction,
But our Supreme Court and Senate will not allow this connection,
The appointed aristocrats in Ottawa can stay till they’re seventy five,
Is it possible that our appointed elite upper echelon might connive?

THE SWISS CONSTITUTION ... DEC 1ST, 2013




The Swiss Constitution …Dec 1st, 2013
By
James Bredin
The Swiss Constitution allows referendums and recall,
The majority of Canadians never heard or read this scrawl,
The Swiss also allow assisted suicide so they're way ahead,
They have a more advanced form of democracy, it is said.

Our politicians think we don't need a better constitution,
We have Trudeau's Charter and that is our only solution,
The Swiss Constitution was adopted by popular vote,
All Canadians did not vote for the Charter Trudeau wrote.

The Swiss can easily change their Constitution if they like,
Canadians can change the Charter but the rules are long and tight,
I think it's way past the time that Canadians thought about change,
Referendums and political recall should be arranged.
