MEDICAL AID IN DYING ... FEB 10TH, 2014

MEDICAL AID IN DYING… FEB 10TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

“Assisted suicide,” has to change to “medical aid in dying.”

The Ottawa establishment doesn’t like what we are trying,

Our Supreme Court told Sue Rodriguez with Lou Gehrig’s disease “No.”

She couldn’t die in dignity and Canadians have to kowtow.

Death with dignity is banned but not abortion clinics,

This arrangement and dead babies, might cause you to be a cynic,

You have to obey the law though you too might die in extreme pain,

You have no input and you have no political campaign.

Our politicians and appointees tend to hide from this subject,

It’s immaterial that the end of your life could be such a wreck,

They do what their political party tells to do and think,

We are merely numbers with a missing political link.

TORONTO -- NEW YORK ... FEB 8TH, 2014

TORONTO -- NEW YORK

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Toronto is the New York of Canada in case you didn’t know,

On the north side of Lake Ontario and still inclined to grow,

With the same extreme cold or hot weather, winter or summer,

So plan your coming and going or it could be a bummer.

I’ve been back and forth here and there and over there, quite a few times,

The dollar difference is often as much or more than a dime,

Otherwise it’s difficult to tell as I look around,

Same language, same TV, same radio -- same sight and sound.

Now if we could get them to figure out the dollar difference,

Get them more equal somehow and show some brilliance,

But for some reason it seems they want to make it inconvenient,

And the shopkeepers can’t make it more convenient.

ARRANGE TO DIE ... FEB 7TH, 2014

ARRANGE TO DIE … FEB 7TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

I was just looking around for a nice date and time to die,

In twenty forty two and then I can just wave goodbye,

I’ll be a hundred and five by then and I’ll have no objection,

Hope I can arrange it without having some sickness or infection.

I’d like to make sure I die on Boxing Day and no cremation,

Arranged death-with-dignity on their secret medication,

Those political death problems should be solved by then,

What Supreme Court told Sue Rodriguez way back when.

I realize, most religions and pompous folk are opposed,

Because their religious ideas have long been imposed,

And I have a nice quiet place arranged in the cemetery,

And please no pompous pedophile priests or oddball ministry.

SOFT ON CRIME ... FEB 6TH, 2014

SOFT ON CRIME   Feb 6th, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

It’s so obvious that our courts have gone soft on criminal crime,

With legal-aid lawyers so criminals are not charged big time,

Soft judges seem to decide and lean towards the criminal’s side,

Criminals seem to walk out of court and they all tend to smile.

And if perchance, they do go to jail, it’s only for a while,

And they’ve been there before many times, so its hardly worthwhile,

And no one seems to notice that the whole system has gone soft,

And that the community as a whole is going down in a trough.

And the politically correct seem to rule the roost,

And their soft left-wing legal ideas have been introduced,

We seem to have lost our way while searching for those at fault,

It doesn’t seem to matter if it was murder or assault.

CHARTER AND THE APPOINTED SENATE ... FEB 5TH, 2014

CHARTER AND THE APPOINTED SENATE … FEB 5TH,

2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We have a Charter of Rights but we are denied the right to die,

If you come down with some painful disease; you might wonder why?

They have this right in about ten US states but we are denied,

Maybe Pauline, premier of Quebec over there, will get it applied.

The Ottawa aristocrats get their appointments to stay,

In the Senate by party connections and they are very well paid,

But you don’t know them and they stay till they’re seventy five,

By that time in the future, you may not even be alive.

Elites reluctant to change things because of the Charter of Rights,

And of course this is all to the Senate appointees delights,

Therefore the appointees will stay in forever and a day,

Unless Stephen finds a reason to kick them out without pay.

PIPELINE OUT WEST ... FEB 4TH, 2014

PIPELINE OUT WEST… FEB 4TH, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Could we have a referendum about a pipeline over a hill?

Who is running this show -- activists or Canadian free will?

Is this issue so trivial that it cannot be discussed?

Or are we afraid that the activists might walk away in disgust?

Could we have a referendum about anything or are they banned?

Or is this subject considered politically no-man’s-land?

Can this subject be even mentioned in the Ottawa area?

Or might it cause some blatant political hysteria?

Or do the political activists make all decisions?

And after that; could we have some political revisions?

Because death-with-dignity and the pipeline can’t be discussed,

And the politically correct might look away in disgust.

DEATH WITH DIGNITY SOON ... FEB 3RD, 2014

DEATH WITH DIGNITY SOON … FEB 3RD, 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Our politicians avoid death-with-dignity like the plague,

They just avoid the subject completely and become very vague,

As if they themselves will never die so there’s no need to ask why,

And they have party instructions that seriously apply.

Binding referendums mean that politicians should share,

Power to the people but our politicians don’t really care,

And certain issues cannot be swept under the rug forever,

Though death-with-dignity cannot be discussed -- never.

People try to avoid their deaths for as long as they can,

In fact, if people had their way, death would be banned,

And we would all live forever but this cannot be done,

But who knows, it would be nice and might even be fun.

And what terrible disease will eventually cause my death?

If we had death-with-dignity it could be avoided, you bet,

I’m not sure whether its religion or stupidity that has caused this,

And they are forbidden to read the Constitution of the Swiss.
