Canada Please Change
CANADA PLEASE CHANGE Jun 24th,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN
Where nothing, absolutely nothing, is allowed to change,
No compulsory voting or binding referendums arranged,
As the Parole Board sets even more vicious criminals free,
Where death with dignity is banned by the High Court for you and me.
Unfortunately proportional representation is banned,
But abortions were allowed though some people thought this was grand,
By our Supreme Court who themselves are from a secret appointee list,
And Trudeau's Charter for "EVERYONE" in the world as they persist.
As you read this poem you can make a list of things Canada needs,
Or what we don't need - Parole Boards - as Canada bleeds,
You can give the list to your MP sometime this summer,
You will be disappointed again though as you appear even dummer.

Don't You Dare Complain June 30th,2012
DON'T YOU DARE COMPLAIN
By
James Bredin
We don't have set-date elections and no one complains out loud,
We don't have death with dignity and churchgoers feel proud,
We have Trudeau's Charter of Rights for "EVERYONE" on the globe,
And "EVERYONE" is claiming their rights as legal-aid lawyers probe.
We don't have compulsory voting so less than half of us vote,
Politicians seem to love this as they go to Ottawa and gloat,
High Court guys/girls are appointed from a very secret list,
They must be aristocrats because you and I can't enlist.
We have parole boards that let too many criminals out of jail,
Don't bother to enquire why or even send an e-mail,
We don't have proportional representation so don't ask,
Is that someone on bail I see, with a gun, wearing a mask?

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.

Disappointment X 10 ... Nov 24th,2012
DISAPPOINTMENT x 10 ... Nov 24th,2012
By
James Bredin
We elected the Conservatives and threw the Liberals out,
Expecting our new politicians knew what change was about,
Unfortunately, we're only getting more of the same,
Or has Brian Mulroney returned - he of the GST shame?
No referendums or proportional representation on the board.
Just another disappointment when we thought we had scored
Therefore compulsory voting will never be even discussed,
And they look at death-with-dignity with absolute disgust.
The changes we expected; disappeared quickly into thin air,
They have their own secret agenda in our political affairs.
If they were Liberals, we could understand but they're not,
It looks like, the changes we expected will amount to squat.

What We Could Change Aug 8th,2012
WHAT WE COULD CHANGE Aug 8th,2012
BY
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.

ELECTION DAY TOMORROW May 1st,2011
No binding referendums or death with dignity allowed,
No compulsory voting set by the establishment crowd,
And what media moguls don’t like, is swept under the rug,
Nothing can change so the Ottawa bureaucracy is smug.
No death penalty allowed by the politically correct,
But appointed Supreme Court allowed abortion-clinics defect,
Activists want injection sites for criminal drug addicts,
Maybe in between the abortion clinics but no conflicts.
And convicts seem to have little problems getting a weekend pass,
By soft parole boards or wardens or some other jackass,
But binding referendums are forbidden and not allowed,
And they wonder why so few bother to vote under this cloud.

Shut Down The Canadian Parole Board
SHUT DOWN THE CANADIAN PAROLE BOARD JUNE 23RD,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN
Why do we have to listen and obey the Parole Board pantomime?
And why can't these prisoners be required to serve all of their time?
And the Parole Board should be shut down for at least twenty years,
They are the problem that allow killers free without tears.
Killers back on the street is a reason why parole boards should be shut down,
If we had binding referendums, we could bring this around,
We don't even have set-date elections as released killers walk free,
As they all claim Trudeau's Charter Rights and the Parole Boards agree.
Parole Boards justify their existence by setting prisoners free,
And no one questions this or any of the high-up appointees,
It's a form of social cancer that should be changed and cut out,
Just eliminate the Parole Boards and the accompanying doubt.

They Tell You; You Have Cancer Aug 22nd,2012
THEY TELL YOU; YOU HAVE CANCER Aug 22nd,2012
By
James Bredin
If they tell you that you have cancer and you will very soon die,
And it's a very painful process so you better say goodbye,
And you can't arrange when to die so you will suffer as they say,
Our Supreme Court told Sue Rodriguez that there was no other way.
Because death with dignity is banned in this Canada land,
Never mentioned in the papers so nothing can be planned,
And we don't have binding referendums so we can't change,
We can't even put an oil pipe across a mountain range.
There should be some way to get around this national situation,
Or are we slowly headed for our own national damnation?
Because we will die but we don't know how, why, when or where just yet,
But death with dignity would ease the pressure; you can bet.

Parole Board Decisions
Absolutely no one can question Parole Board decisions,
As they set hundreds of criminals free with great precision,
As if they are righteous high-up religious appointed deacons,
As our whole country watches helplessly and just weakens.
Are the Parole Boards so sacred that they cannot be changed?
As the frequent release of criminal murderers is arranged,
As Canadians helplessly look on in desperation,
At this national form of bureaucratic cancer illustration.
As a citizen of course, you are only allowed to watch,
Binding referendums and all changes are kept under latch,
Media moguls and secret-list appointees will decide,
You better shut up and keep your head down while they provide.

Pompous Parole Boards
Why are they released after doing two thirds of their time?
Means a substantial reduction in a court sentence for a crime,
And the bureaucratic Parole Board believe that this is great,
Proud politicians are not interested in this debate.
Because they know that our parole system is obviously flawed,
Though they behave as though they were obeying the word of god,
While criminals are released and their sentences are reduced,
And the politically correct public is once again seduced.
Just another example of our complete lack of referendums,
Then add death with dignity to that dreary memorandum,
Then add plebiscites and proportional representation,
Then add a list of released prisoners on Parole-Board vacation.

No Parole Boards Please July 18th,2012
NO PAROLE BOARDS PLEASE July 18th,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN
The Parole Boards claim that our prisons are overcrowded,
They use this in their release decisions that are shrouded,
So vicious murderers and rapists can walk the streets once more,
And strut their stuff and show off to their victims how they have scored.
And the politically correct Parole Board folk think that this is great,
Though not very democratic and never up for debate,
And our isolated party politicians stay far away,
Doing absolutely nothing for us except maybe, betray.
We have to be mentally ill to let this system go on and on,
As they're allowed to do more crimes, conclusion foregone,
The list of subsequent crimes goes on and on and on,
Read them on the Internet if you are healthy and feel strong.
Could we build much bigger prisons to keep these criminals in?
Of course this might be considered a politically correct sin,
Then overcrowding could not be used as a parole-board excuse,
And much less released-prisoner crimes nightly in the news

Why The Connections? Apr 13th,2011
Why are church organizations not more involved in abortions?
The once powerful Christian churches caught in High Court distortions,
Why do High Court and Parole Board appointees make their own laws?
Allowing killing clinics and releasing killers just because.
Why do terminally ill patients have to suffer to the end?
Why are we not allowed to have death-with-dignity, my friend?
Why are binding referendums forbidden by our politicians?
Why do we accept without question these ongoing conditions?
Why do Ottawa aristocrats make all our decisions?
Is this nailed down or could we make some Charter revisions?
Why their propaganda of no set-date or mid term elections?
Appointees to Senate, High Court and Parole Board with connections.

Things We Don't Have Sept 15th,2012
THINGS WE DON'T HAVE SEPT 15TH,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN
If we have a useless politician that we would rather, go away,
We don't have recall even if they do nothing but stay,
We can't elect our High Court or prime minister by name,
And nothing can be changed and we can't or don't dare complain.
And death with dignity is banned and never-never allowed,
By our secret-list appointed high-up Supreme Court crowd,
Sue Rodriguez got the word, with fatal Lou Gehrig's disease,
She was, point blank, refused death with dignity if you please.
We don't have set-date elections so we really don't know,
What and when is in our future, so we learn to kowtow,
We can't put an oil pipe across the Rockies for some reason,
Am I missing something here or is it not the right season?

Busy on our I pads Aug 4th,2012
By
James Bredin
Ideas for the people and not the party, should be up front,
I can almost hear the party stalwarts as they quietly grunt,
Why are binding referendums never mentioned and forbidden?
And all new democratic ideas are delayed and overridden?
Politicians have this compulsion to leave things as they are,
They want to stay with the party and avoid saying au revoir,
Because Trudeau's Charter can't be changed or rearranged,
No compulsory voting or death with dignity arranged.
As those who object to an oil pipeline want their voices heard,
Which could put Canada on the same level as the Third World,
We just don't care because less than half of us even vote,
And we're too busy on our I pads to even take note.

A Swiss Constitution
We are all going to die whether we like it or not,
It will happen sooner or later even if you think you're a big shot,
It can't be organized or scheduled for this or that reason,
It's against the law and considered to be next to treason.
The Swiss and Dutch have it figured out and have death with dignity,
But it's not allowed in Canada - High Court activity.
Sue Rodriguez was refused though she had Lou Gehrig's disease,
Canadian Supreme Court dressed in red, refused her please.
So we should amend our constitution like the Swiss and the Dutch,
Because under the present system our Supreme Court has too much,
If we had binding referendums we could get back in control,
Instead, nowadays many murderers seem to get parole.

Who Can We Believe? Aug 25th,2012
WHO CAN WE BELIEVE? Aug 25th,2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN
Where do we get politicians with their feet on the ground?
Who think Canadian rather than being completely party bound.
Who think about death with dignity and not the abortion clinics,
Politicians we can believe, who are not announcing party lyrics.
Politicians not into human rights and Trudeau's constitution,
With the hidden equalization Canadian solution,
Soft judges and parole boards who try to empty the jails,
Set vicious criminals free and don't give us much or many details.
And then it gets worse because media moguls think it's great,
Or the next drug-addict Insite free clinic without much debate,
Where judges and governor-generals come from secret lists,
Banned referendums for us as they blatantly persist.

Can We Be Nailed Down Aug 3rd,2012
Appointees from a very secret list up there near the gods,
Dressed like Santa Clause or bishops, they got the official jobs,
The Canadian Supreme Court can deny you death with dignity,
Though if you are in great pain; this could be a great indignity.
We don't know these judges, where they came from or who they are,
They allowed the Vancouver Insite drug-addict clinic bizarre,
They refused Sue Rodriguez death with dignity although in pain,
She had Lou Gehrig's disease, which is far too dreadful to explain.
Can all this Canadian stuff be swept under the rug?
Or are we all on some very cheap hallucinogenic drug?
If we had binding referendums, we could change things around,
If we could change Trudeau's Charter, we could not be nailed down.
Your MPs or media moguls don't answer questions like this,
Never mention the binding referendums held by the Swiss,
What are our chances of getting that pipeline to the West Coast?
If the Supreme Court could decide; would we hide or boast?

ARE YOU GOING TO VOTE, CANADIAN? Apr 4th,2011
We are having an election in our so-called democracy,
We’re going to change some names in our Ottawa aristocracy,
But very little else is allowed to change in name,
Appointed senators and High Court judges remain the same.
And very few in their media are inclined to complain,
They are not sure whose side they are on in this strange campaign,
Because most political parties mirror one another,
Might be related, cousin, sister, mother or brother.
What Canada needs is some real democratic alterations,
Binding referendums and compulsory voting combinations,
Proportional representation instead of first-past-the-post,
Where the votes of the combined opposition are way the most.

Party Bound Politicians July 4th,2012
PARTY BOUND POLITICIANS July 4th,2012
By
James Bredin
Our Canadian politicians are reluctant to change,
If they do they will be immediately told that this is strange,
They are party politicians and not allowed an independent thought,
They have to follow the party line and not be distraught.
Canada should have a system where they have some independence,
And not march in step, completely party bound in their dependence,
We should have proportional representation for those who should vote,
And compulsory votes or added tax so all constituents take note.
Party politics is in many ways like a religious belief,
Those who change are treated as sacrilegious with great grief,
Those who want death with dignity are looked at as pagans or worse,
Supreme Court decisions here will not allow for anything diverse.

We're All In The Same Boat
Participatory democracy and propositions banned,
Nothing is allowed to change under the Ottawa command,
Plebiscites and binding referendums would interfere,
Establishment occupy the high ground but they are sincere.
And first-past-the-post system is going to stay there forever,
No proportional representation because that’s too clever,
The appointed Supreme Court will make all the proper decisions,
Therefore there will be no need for political revisions.
Because all decisions are all based on Trudeau’s Charter of Rights
Written for everyone in the world who want to avoid their fights,
This is one of the reasons why less than half of us even vote,
No influence, no changes and we’re all in the same boat.
