APPOINTEES MAKE CLAIMS ... MAY 20TH, 2013

APPOINTEES MAKE CLAIMS  … MAY 20^TH, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

I hear some appointed senators are making strange claims,

Involving taxpayers’ money but they say there’s no one to blame,

But they can keep their jobs until they are seventy five or more,

And we the people are not allowed to know the whole score.

Because appointed Ottawa senators are up there near god,

They are not elected and their appointments came with a nod,

To question this system is considered a graphic disgrace,

The Ottawa aristocrats will tell you right to your face.

How come this undemocratic bent system has been allowed?

Untouchable hierarchy of an appointed strict crowd,

Where we can die without dignity and in great pain,

Without binding referendums or recall, like standing in the rain.

NO BINDING REFERENDUMS … MAY 18^TH, 2013

Our aristocrats hide out in Ottawa very far away,

Many are appointees in fancy dress and what more can I say?

They don’t have to be elected but still, you better show respect,

And no death-with-dignity because they say, that’s not correct.

They did it to poor sick Sue Rodriguez many years ago,

She had Lou Gehrig’s disease but still, the aristocrats  said, “No!”

Our democracy is an illusion of media mogul guys,

They want  an appointment too and it’s part of their disguise.

And Trudeau’s Charter can’t be changed so you better pay heed,

No death-with-dignity because they will decide what or when you need,

You better learn that party politics is the only way to go,

Canadians can’t have binding referendums like the Swiss... no no.

JUST FOLLOW THE BAND … MAY 17TH, 2013

We need a Canadian compulsory voting law,

Because left wing oddballs seem to have us in their clenching claws,

Appointments to the Senate and Supreme Court and no questions asked,

Where a death-with-dignity law cannot be discussed or passed.

Appointees, media moguls and friends, form our establishment,

They are our aristocrats and proud of their accomplishments,

But we need to improve the system so democracy is involved,

Which binding referendums and political recall could resolve.

Like death-with-dignity, these issues cannot be discussed,

They have committee meeting to attend so they leave you in the dust,

If you want death-with-dignity, you can go to Switzerland

In the meantime just shut up and follow the political band.

Will Stephen or Justin take up the death-with-dignity cause?

Maybe neither and they think they’ll never die just because,

But Canadians increasingly support the end-of-life choice,

Maybe, maybe, just one of them will and we can all rejoice.

DWD is coming our way whether they like it or not,

Though it’s like banging on the door of an empty Ottawa house,

No wonder only half of our Canadians even bother to vote,

Referendums and proportional representation very remote.

It’s just that we are helpless in that we cannot arrange when to die,

It’s illegal and a sin and controversial -- that’s the reason why,

So religious leaders and politicians want things stay as they are,

That’s how they keep their cushy jobs and no one goes too far.

The Americans added the State of Vermont yesterday,

No need to look forward to a painful doomsday death there,

They also have the State of Oregon and Washington on side,

Unfortunately Canadians don’t have one province with this pride.

Because death-with-dignity has been completely banned,

Not one province is allowed to have it, in this great land,

Like they told Sue Rodriguez many years ago,

Suffering from painful Lou Gehrig’s disease and she had to go.

I feel that we will eventually get it but what a painful trip!

As Canadians are held in a fierce tight judicial grip,

And our aristocrats in Ottawa will not answer the cause,

These appointees are busy doing nothing just because.

Abortions and death-with-dignity have a lot in common,

Both involve death and no debate in the Canadian Commons,

Because our party politicians have been told not to be involved,

Therefore none of these Canadian issues can be solved.

Add to that; we have no binding referendums or recall,

And as fare as assisted suicide is concerned; we can all crawl,

Then add to that; only half of Canadians bother to vote,

And the upper echelon in Ottawa is extremely remote.

Terribly sick humans denied a dignified death,

Sick with Alzheimer’s disease, look like taking their last breath,

Others have chronic degenerative diseases that defy,

Lou Gehrig’s disease as Sue Rodriguez had to suffer and die.
