THE MOST IMPORTANT DATE IN MY LIFE

THE MOST IMPORTANT DATE IN MY LIFE Aug 16^th, 2012

By

JAMES BREDIN

The most important date in my life is the date I will die,

The Supreme Court wont let me change that date and I don’t know why,

Is it some religious belief that they want us to obey?

No matter what the disease or pain; we have to suffer and stay.

Sooner or later, you too will have to cope with this question,

There’s nothing legal you can do so don’t bother with the suggestion,

The Supreme Court laid down the law so you have to suffer the pain,

It doesn’t matter whether it’s freezing cold, sunshine or rain.

Should I go to Switzerland and get fixed up over there?

I hear they help many people who are approaching death and despair,

I read there may be certain pills for sale in Mexico down there,

I think of poor Sue Rodriguez and maybe say a prayer.

WE ARE IN A COCOON AUG 15^TH, 2012

Almost all our politicians are completely party bound,

With religious fealty they remain faithful and renowned,

They do and vote according to their party instructions,

All changes are frowned on unless they are party productions.

The party agenda, whether right or left, has to be obeyed,

And no Ottawa aristocrat appointee can be betrayed,

And binding referendums will remain completely banned,

Therefore Canadians issues alone by themselves may not stand.

Death with dignity can never be politically discussed,

Like Sue Rodriguez, you and I could end up in painful disgust,

We should have proportional representation sometime soon,

A small insignificant change to get us out of this cocoon.

OUR BLUEPRINT AUG 14TH, 2012

OUR BLUEPRINT  AUG 14^TH 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Compulsory voting or fifty-dollar fine at tax time,

Shows that this important national issue is not five-and-dime,

And those who refuse to vote or pay, get ten days in jail,

No house arrest allowed, no legal aid, no caution and no bail.

Binding referendums for all Canadians on national options,

Before these options turn into major national problems,

How each politician votes on any issue should be published,

And not carefully moved around and hidden from the public.

Set-date elections every three years and constituents allowed recall,

Death with dignity allowed and no one or group, can forestall,

The Supreme Court, Governor Generals and parole boards elected,

So that defects in our systems can be finally corrected.

JUVENILE COURTS AUG 13TH, 2012

JUVENILE COURTS AUG 13TH, 2012

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The Youth Criminal Justice Act replaced the Young Offenders Act,

Politically correct politicians did it all to distract,

One useless law replaced by another and that’s a fact,

Left leaning Liberals and their followers had a quiet pact.

Publication bans – no names -- are frequent and no questions asked,

Young offenders often walk out of court unknown as though still masked,

Allowed to apologize or compensate and charges withdrawn,

The public don’t know anything so therefore can’t catch on.

Very few Canadian criminals spend much time in prison,

The soft system, laws and judges won’t allow them to be imprisoned,

Crown attorneys bargain away most of the criminal charges,

This allows many of proceedings to end up in no-fault discharges.

With so few consequences; why change a criminal career?

Nobody knows about the vicious crimes and the coast is clear,

Dangerous offender designation banned and not allowed,

So unknown juvenile criminal offenders can still feel proud.

NO INCENTIVE TO VOTE AUG 12TH, 2012

NO INCENTIVE TO VOTE  Aug 12^th, 2012

And those in power can stay there for the rest of their lives,

Though it may be questionable whether democracy survives,

So a compulsory voting law or fifty dollar fine at income tax time,

Would solve the problem as the number of voters will climb.

Those who have been elected are not keen on mandatory votes,

It could change things and interfere with what the party promotes,

People might want binding referendums and recall and what next?

Best to do nothing or say it’s constitutional and too complex.

Canadian politicians like all politicians dread recall,

Whether it’s federal, provincial or even city hall,

So how do we get rid of a dreadful useless politician?

Could we get recall in the constitution in the next edition?

If we had binding referendums like the Swiss have had for years,

Could we maybe interrupt some useless political careers?

Or maybe proportional representation or a plebiscite,

Unfortunately Ottawa aristocrats don’t have this appetite.

If we could eventually elect senators or judges?

Could we show that the system doesn’t run on hidden grudges?

If we were finally allowed death with dignity?

Could we wish them well as we die without pain or indignity?

If they finally brought down mandatory voting for us,

Or a twenty dollar fine at tax time more or less,

If constituents had recall allowed of their own politician,

Am I getting ahead of myself or is this just superstition?

WHAT WE COULD CHANGE Aug 8^th, 2012

JAMES BREDIN

Our politicians will not bring back capital punishment,

They will look at you and this with complete astonishment,

And compulsory voting for all, is out of the question,

And death with dignity could put them into deep depression.

The idea of binding referendums will always be banned,

Recall by constituents of their MP; will not stand,

Supreme Court, Governor General and parole boards elected,

These are questions that should be asked to us affected.

All convicted criminals should serve all their complete time,

And that sentence should be compulsory for each and every crime,

Therefore we should elect our future prime ministers by name,

Because it should be personalities and not a party game.

Victims notified of transfers of assailants to other places,

No more prison bureaucratic stunts right in our faces,

TV cameras in House of Commons show empty seats,

In case MPs are off visiting their relatives in Greece.
