THERE TILL THEY ARE SEVENTY FIVE ... JULY 7TH, 2013

THERE TILL THEY ARE SEVENTY FIVE... July 7th, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

We have a large group of appointees with huge entitlements,

In a real Red Chamber in an Ottawa establishment,

Built-in Canadian aristocrats; as if we needed them

Can’t know or critize their entitlements so therefore can’t condemn.

They are busy coming and going to and from wherever they live,

All carrying briefcases in a lifestyle that’s very addictive,

But we could turn the Red Chamber into a large bingo hall,

Leave the seats where they are and some speaker does the call.

But nothing can change because they like it the way it is,

No questions and no answers and no one would dare to quiz,

And the appointed senators are happy and everyone is pleased,

They are there till they’re seventy five or deceased.

CANADIAN ELECTIONS ... JULY 6TH, 2013

CANADIAN ELECTIONS … July 6th, 2013

By

James Bredin

Canadian elections are too important to disregard,

As if, where less than half the people vote; the other half are barred,

As if this is normal and party politicians are pleased,

As if democracy is not involved and we are not being squeezed.

As if the equasion between democracy and elections doesn’t count.

Where Ottawa aristocrats give their sermon on the mount,

Where elite media moguls are allowed to pull all the strings,

And no binding referendums allowed or those sort of things.

Where unelected senators are there till they’re seventy five,

Their appointments could last longer than a lifespant as they thrive,

So this is allowed to happen in case you didn’t know,

Binding referendums are not accepted by those in the chateau.

INJECTION SITES FOR CRIMINALS ... JULY 5TH, 2013

INJECTION SITES FOR CRIMINALS July 5th, 2013

By

JAMES BREDIN

Legal injection sites for criminal drug users are not good,

Though certain media moguls tend to think its all misunderstood,

And they have scientific evidence to prove that they are right,

Of course this is good news to the drug users and to their delight.

Mayor Ford says it’s the worst thing that could happen to the city,

So why are these activists pushing their ideas without pity?

Vancouver has had this major problem for years,

Where criminal drug addicts do their illegal drugs without fears.

They have to buy their illegal drugs before they inject,

Buy them from illegal drug dealers and what do you expect?

And these illegal street drugs are very expensive,

Ideas imposed by media mogals and not considered offensive.

OTTAWA CHANGES ... JULY 4TH, 2013

OTTAWA CHANGES

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Ottawa aristocrats are really reluctant to change,

They have it already made so why bother to arrange,

So no binding referendums or death-with-dignity for you,

We need some good political leadership but who knew?

Then there’s the Supreme Court who told Sue Rodriguez where to go,

Dying in pain with Lou Gehrig’s disease and feeling very low,

As Canadians we are helplessly captured by these events,

We can’t elect a senator and don’t know what he represents.

Canadians need a compulsory voting law to be involved,

Even then only half the political problem will be solved,

We need an elected Senate and elected Supreme Court,

And we need the political leadership to get us that support.

YOU WILL EVENTUALLY DIE ... JULY 3RD, 2013

YOU WILL EVENTUALLY DIE ... JULY 3RD, 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Death-with-dignity seems to cause a lot of fuss along that path,

Because most people try to avoid thinking about their death,

Though they know that eventually, sooner or later, it will come,

But if they don't think about it, they may avoid having to succumb.

But Oregon, Washington and Vermont have it now,

And Pauline Marois in Quebec Bill 52, will soon allow,

And though the pompous religious types really oppose,

But their religious ideas have too long been imposed.

Unfortunately all our politicians refuse to talk about this,

Neither federal nor provincial allow binding referendums like the Swiss,

They act as though this subject was secretely forbidden,

And the reasons for not talking about it, are well hidden.

STEPHEN OR JUSTIN ... JULY 2ND, 2013

STEPHEN OR JUSTIN  … JULY 2ND 2013

BY

JAMES BREDIN

The Tories said that Justin was in deep over his head,

And the Tory establishment claimed that we all could be misled,

And death-with-dignity will not be mentioned by either or discussed,

So neither Justin or Stephen are  going to cause a fuss.

But Justin was there in the Pride Parade with all the others,

Strange world out there with all those Liberal sisters and brothers,

Celebrating with Ontario lesbian premier Ms Wynne,

Are we missing something here as they all seem to smile and grin?

Of course Stephen Harper will be staying as prime minister,

And DWD will come with Pauline in Quebec as administer,

But each province should put it in their own Health Plan,

In some way that the Canadian Supreme Court can’t ban.

ARROGANT CANADIAN SENATE ... JULY 1ST, 2013

Arrogant Canadian Senate … July 1st, 2013

By

James Bredin

The arrogant croyyism of our Senate system is wrong,

Appointed elite jobs until they are 75 within their own throng,

In a huge Ottawa Red Chamber where no one is elected,

Where we can’t find fault and scandal types seem protected.

I would like to feel pleased about our Ottawa setup but I’m not,

That Red Chamber full of appointees, in case you forgot,

Blatant lifetime form of welfare for friends in very high places,

Appointed by friends for no known reasons or basis or traces.

The arrogance of these appointees has to be accepted,

The occasional scandal has therefore to be expected,

The Constitution can’t be changed because they could loose their positions,

And Canadians have to accept all these imposed conditions.
