The Supreme Court is not elected, and it is therefore not a proper arbiter of social policy.

How Do We Get Their Attention July 19th
Canadians are not encouraged to notice appointees,
Secretly politically selected and have no need to please,
To the Senate, the governor general and the Supreme Court,
Their word is then law and they don't need political support.
An elected High Court would make proper Canadian decisions,
An elected Senate might even make some legal revisions,
But our elected party politicians want nothing to change,
They'll form another sub committee soon but not to rearrange.
Therefore we are helpless to bring about real political change,
Though political parties often hint that they will rearrange,
We don't have binding referendums or death with dignity,
Even the BC Supreme Court was turned down dismally.

INJECTION SITES 5 May 22 2011
There is a strong possibility that we have gone mentally ill,
Extreme Supreme Court decisions show that we’re going downhill,
An activist group wants drug injection sites everywhere, here and there,
They call it harm reduction for drug addicts, they pompously declare.
The appointed Supreme Court imposed abortion sites years ago,
They may do the same thing with injection sites as we kowtow,
We will have to respect these drug addicts as they come and go,
As they buy their illegal drugs from drug dealers all in a row.
The same appointed Supreme Court gave a holocaust of unborn,
Where those who are involved never show feelings, cry or mourn,
Graphic examples why Supreme Court judges should be elected,
Then maybe the many unborn babies might be protected.

CONSTITUTIONAL COMMITTEE June 15th,2011
We need a constitutional committee to submit new stuff,
To change the flaws in the Charter though this could be mighty rough,
To get death with dignity and binding referendums soon,
And not be tied down in a politically correct commune.
We need politicians with guts to say they have had enough,
No more being party submissive – they have to get tough,
Proportional representation would do for a start,
Elected Supreme Court and Senators and no more bleeding hearts.
Where abortion clinics can be put to a national vote,
Not given to the Supreme Court and then put on remote,
We need some politician to come forward and talk about this,
Because this is our one chance to get changes like the Swiss.

Canadian Supreme Court Aug 24th,2012
CANADIAN SUPREME COURT Aug 24th,2012
By
James Bredin
Appointees from a very secret list who are up there near the gods,
Dressed like Santa Clause or bishops - they got the official nods,
The Canadian Supreme Court hangs out in big fancy places,
They are very important so you better recognize their faces.
They allowed a drug-addict Insite clinic in Vancouver town,
Despite the Federal Government's attempts to close it down,
Who runs this country - the government or the Supreme Court?
Elected politicians or appointees - who should we support?
They told very sick, facing death, Sue Rodriguez, where to go,
She had Lou Gehrig's disease and wanted to die; they said no,
And we can't change or even elect our prime minister by name,
And Quebec may have a referendum so we all should have the same.
We all need binding referendums and death with dignity soon,
Could the Supreme Court help us here - get out of our cocoon?
There's no doubt that a Quebec referendum could bring big change,
Maybe this could be a good thing if Stephen Harper could arrange.

A Group of Appoıntees
Your grandson at the abortion clinic before he was born,
Was killed; will never have a name and no one will even morn,
It was made legal by a Supreme Court decision long ago,
There is no legal obligation that you should even know.
There is something very wrong here though, as you can plainly see,
A civilized society controlled by a group of appointees,
And no one can ask because it’s all politically correct,
Death by abortion and Canadians cannot interject.
Therefore we all need binding referendums like the Swiss,
Elected Senate and Supreme Court and please, no more of this,
Proportional representation and no more first past the post,
And death with dignity might help some of us sick and old the most.

The Supreme Court, of course, has the responsibility of ensuring that our government never oversteps its proper bounds or violates the rights of individuals. But the Court must also recognize the limits on itself and respect the choices made by the American people.

Abortion Clinics May 13 2011
Are Canadians being replaced by those who believe?
That a holocaust of unborn babies is a way to achieve?
And subsequent population reduction will be great?
They even ensure that this subject is never up for debate.
Appointees in the Supreme Court are much higher than god,
With a hidden agenda and a politically correct nod,
Their Supreme Court decision on abortions proved one thing,
Death with dignity is out but abortion holocaust is in.
How does one get an appointment to the Supreme Court?
Is that question too delicate where women are allowed to abort?
But the Supreme Court made that law involving unborn baby deaths,
Babies before they had a chance to take their first breath.

The irony of the Supreme Court hearing on these cases last week and of the outright hostility that the Court has displayed against religion in recent years is that above the head of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is a concrete display of the Ten Commandments.

Don't Bother To Think July 5th,2012
Don't bother to think because we should really be ashamed,
No binding referendums and youthful offenders can't be named,
With no death penalty or death with dignity and we don't have to vote,
But we do have pompous left-wing media moguls who gloat.
No judicial reviews, plebiscites or set-date elections,
No political recall so we can't make late obvious corrections,
No elected senators or elected Supreme Court judges,
Illegal foreign refugees claim Charter rights and may have grudges.
But we do have an unknown number of unborn baby abortions,
Connecting this to the holocaust is to invite distortions,
Allowed by High Court judges, picked from a very secret list,
They must be aristocrats because you and I can't enlist.

It urges policy makers and the Supreme Court to make the mistake of curing what could prove to be an isolated problem by disarming the government of its principal weapon to stop future terrorist attacks.
Our lawyers had their chat with the Supreme Court Justice, and promised to repast the chat to other members of the Supreme Court to find out whether they wanted to hear us out.

Politicians Despise Referendums
POLITICIANS DESPISE REFERENDUMS
BY
jamesbredin.com
Politicians despise binding referendums; did you know?
They also hate recall and the Internet but never say so,
So we have to walk lightly or they might even pass a law,
So they can stay in office forever which might be a flaw.
They also despise elections because they could loose their jobs,
So set-date elections could put them out on the streets with the nobs,
And no elected senators because they will be appointed,
And Supreme Court judges and Governor Generals anointed
But if they make the proper changes, they might stay a while
We need binding referendums and death with dignity in style
We need to vote for a senator so they get no free hand outs,
Why should we be the ones with all the political doubts?

A Yearly Prime Minister May 5th,2011
A different prime minister should be appointed each year,
He/she should be an already elected provincial premier,
This could avoid party politicians electing their own,
Where many people react with a loud but silent groan.
Senators and Supreme Court judges should also be elected,
In order to establish that Canadians are protected,
From biased weird decisions made by questionable appointees,
Whose words are law and they don’t ever have to appease.
Mandatory set date elections and compulsory voting too,
Could sidetrack a lot of expensive Ottawa hullabaloo,
A simple system of binding referendums should be formed,
So that all the people and politicians could stay reformed.

Canadians Should Vote Or Else Mar 2nd,2011
Canadians who don’t vote should get a fifty-dollar fine,
If their social insurance numbers do not show on a ballot line,
And this will show on their next year’s income tax return
Where the fifty-dollar addition might indeed show some concern.
Canadians should have binding referendums to control politicians,
Who seem to have their own hidden agendas and secret conditions,
Death with dignity should be a referendum question,
So those waiting around to die can at least get some suggestions.
Recall of useless politicians should be up for debate,
And passed into law to stop politicians who only skate,
Supreme Court, Parole Boards and Senate should be elected,
So that the present cozy relationship can be rejected.

The Arbiter
We lie and cheat the game
Corruption's everywhere
We try to buy our justice
Lies are hard to beat
When our days are over
Cross the great divide
The final day is coming
He knows wrong from right
Cut out the way it has been done
Just keep the fear inside
Nowhere to hide nowhere to run
Your life is on the line
Take the word of the arbiter
He always gets it right
Take the word of the arbiter
If it's left or if it's right
With him there's no objection
You can't have a deal
The word he says is final
Punishment's for real
Talking - never moves
You hear it in your head
Body shaken terror
And he cuts you dead
Take the word of the arbiter
His word s always right
Take the word of the arbiter
Nothing left and nothing right
