If We Had Had Binding Referendums Then Mar 14th 2011
I would like to go back to the sixties when we measured in miles,
And inches and feet and yards and things made sense in great style,
Unfortunately, I can’t go back in time but if I could, I would,
They’ve changed a whole generation and I would not be understood.
I feel like someone from another time and out of place,
Before pompous bureaucratic politicians got in our face,
Before Trudeau wrote his international Charter of Rights,
That allowed terrorists and refugees in High Court fights.
There’s obviously something wrong and we can never put it right,
Finger pointing in Parliament seems to give them great delight,
But leadership is lacking despite their extremely loud talk,
Give us binding referendums like Switzerland or walk.

Charter Imposed on the People
Trudeau wrote our Charter of Rights but we did not participate,
It was imposed from above with establishment type debate,
No input, no referendums and for “EVERYONE” in the world,
That means criminals, terrorists, refugees with their flags unfurled.
And when they arrive they go to the appointed Supreme Court,
They claim rights under the Charter and they all want support,
And we are only observers at these courtroom decisions,
Once again we have no input into these appointees’ visions.
We have no binding referendums so we have to submit,
Refugee-terrorists allowed in or criminals they acquit,
Because binding referendums might give power to the people,
You remember, those who lived within sight of the church steeple.

Dump Trudeau's Charter Feb 7th,2011
Could Trudeau’s Charter destroy us and could we ourselves be to blame?
With polygamy and abortions and no one thinks it’s strange,
With thousands of refugees and lawyers all claiming Charter rights,
En route to the appointed Supreme Court with their Charter fights.
Are we locked in Trudeau’s Charter or is there a way out?
Is it because less than half of us vote; is that what it’s about?
How do we get rid of Trudeau’s Charter and back to where we were?
Is it possible that Canadians might realize we’ve erred?
How do we get our politicians to even pay attention?
Could binding referendums or propositions stop dissension?
Because no one wants to even read the writing on the wall,
Are the anti police agitators gathering at the mall?

Can't Change Trudeau's Charter Feb 12th 2011
Some politicians in Europe have come to certain conclusions,
About multiculturalism and their other strange illusions,
But Canadian politicians are politically correct,
Such ideas made public might show a certain disrespect.
We are forbidden binding referendums so no talk about this,
We have Trudeau’s Charter of Rights unlike the very smart Swiss,
Because they can compel their politicians to do this or that,
But Canadian politicians never need to go to bat.
Canadian binding referendums could get us all involved,
In case multicultural problems might need to be solved,
But Trudeau’s Charter of Rights cannot be altered or changed,
We watch from a distance because things cannot be rearranged.

Can We Circumvent Trudeau's Charter Feb 13th,2011?
Trudeau’s Charter brought us multiculturalism in spades,
As the once proud Canadian culture is disregarded and fades,
As multiculturalism supports separate ghetto places,
Satellite dishes and Trudeau’s Charter right in our faces.
Can’t encourage amalgamation because they will not elect,
A politician who might appear to be not politically correct,
With “EVERYONE” in the world coming here to claim Charter rights,
Politically correct politicians pretend that this is a great delight.
We could circumvent Trudeau’s Charter with binding referendums,
If we had proper leadership to write the proper memorandums,
And tell the appointed Supreme Court that we are in charge,
Write another constitution because what we have is too large.

Are Canadians Forbidden Referendums?
The Swiss had a binding referendum to expel criminals,
Foreigners who may come to Canada with drugs and chemicals,
Because “EVERYONE” has Trudeau’s Charter Rights which was imposed,
And you were not allowed input when the Charter was composed.
But the Swiss have binding referendums which we are not allowed,
We have to be very obedient and walk with our heads bowed,
And none of this of course is mentioned in our managed media,
You wont even find it mentioned in any encyclopedia.
Why are the Swiss allowed more security but we are not?
Is this something our politically correct politicians forgot?
Are there illegal refugees enroute to our Supreme Court?
Maybe refugee ships enroute might need another escort?

How Long Does This Sedation Last?
Senators and Governor Generals are all appointed,
And we are expected to show that we are not disappointed,
And dumb politicians can’t be recalled because that’s not allowed,
The system is great, they say and we are compelled to feel proud.
Where all terrorists and prisoners have Trudeau’s Charter Rights,
All the way to the appointed Supreme Court with their legal fights,
And political candidates with the most votes have always won,
Though the combined votes of the loosers was more but no reruns.
And without binding referendums, nothing is allowed to change,
Democracy with no proportional representation strange,
Is this a graphic illustration of a sleep walking nation?
How do we get out of this form of political sedation?

Are Canadians Helpless?
Why are hundreds of refugees and deposed despots coming here?
Are there terrorists among them and do we have something to fear?
Will their strange ideas bring about change and do we already know?
Is it all because of that Charter written by Pierre Trudeau?
Is our government naive and are we missing something somewhere?
Who is influencing our politicians in this strange affair?
How much influence does the far-left-wing UN have here?
They banned us from their Security Council and no one shed a tear.
If we had binding referendums like the Swiss, would it help?
How loud would all those embedded party politicians yelp?
Are we trapped by Trudeau’s Charter that we can’t change?
Too deep in politically correct quicksand to rearrange.

Trudeau's Charter of Rights and Suicide
Too embarrassing to think about it according to our crowd,
And it’s illegal to take a short cut to wearing a shroud,
And the priests and ministers will refuse to give you the last rites,
Suicide is not part of the plan of Trudeau’s Charter of Rights.
And like the Holy Bible, the Charter of Rights can’t be changed,
With your attitude, they may mention that you are likely deranged,
The Charter was imposed and since then, the refugees arrived,
They fill the appointed Supreme Court though you may feel deprived.
And the idea of input or referendums was banned,
Though the Swiss can have this, we are under some bureaucrat’s command,
You will do what you are told and in the meantime please shut up,
And please stop writing this poetry because you can’t stir things up.

Can We Change the System
Are human rights written down somewhere like the law of the land?
Does Trudeau’s Charter give terrorists the right to take a stand?
Why are we not allowed binding referendums like the Swiss?
Would our politicians allow this or would they just dismiss?
Should Canadians have recall to keep politicians in check?
Eighteen US States have recall in their constitution deck,
The State of California has used recall, not once, but twice,
Canadians still can’t have it so it’s like the throw of the dice.
Should Canadians have propositions or are they forbidden too?
If we needed these changes; when and where or who should we go to?
Does all that noise in Parliament amount to a hill of beaan?
Do we need a new political party maybe like the Greens?

Tied Down By Trudeau's Charter Of Rights
How do we go about changing Trudeau’s left wing Charter of Rights?
Because all the crooks and terrorists have us in their sights,
They want to come here and then onto the appointed Supreme Court,
Where definitions and decisions could be in their support.
Unfortunately our establishment think the Charter is great,
And changes are strictly forbidden to come up for debate,
We look in the mirror and see the enemy looking back,
And because of Trudeau’s Charter, our future could be pitch black.
If we could make Trudeau’s Charter for Canadians alone,
Not “EVERYONE” in the world especially every combat zone,
And stop them from coming here to claim Trudeau’s Charter rights,
And then they could put some other soft country in their sights.

WHAT CAN CANADIANS DO? MAR 18th,2011
Canadians don’t complain about having to measure in meters,
Or about having to buy their expensive gasoline in liters,
And we can’t ever go back in time to measure again in miles,
And we can’t have binding referendums as politicians smile.
I feel I should apologize for having the wrong attitude,
And our lack of political control in this latitude,
We need binding referendums and death with dignity soon,
Why is that so difficult for a political goon?
Our first-past-the-post politicians want to do things their way,
No proportional representation allowed any day,
Ottawa stays without proportional representation,
Looking down from their comfortable high elevation.

Can We Change Trudeau's Charter
Terrorists like Trudeau’s Charter because it gives them rights,
All the way to our appointed Supreme Court with delights,
And we’re so politically correct we can’t see a problem here,
Appointed establishment all tell us we have nothing to fear.
Why didn’t someone point out back then that his Charter had a flaw?
It allows terrorists and crooks and prisoners to bend every law,
Is it possible that Canadians could maybe rearrange?
Is it possible to change Trudeau’s Charter or is that too strange?
Why are we more concerned with human rights instead of the law?
Soft judges allow too many to walk and that’s a major flaw,
And you don’t complain though of course you are not one of them,
The left wing media would probably complain to the PM.

A Canadian Tea Party
We need control of our Ottawa politicians somehow,
Maybe a tea party or something that we ourselves allow,
We need binding referendums soon but how do we get them?
Trudeau’s Charter didn’t help and the media will condemn.
We need political recall of useless politicians,
I realize that this is contrary to elitist traditions,
We need compulsory voting to get us all out to vote,
They will delay everything and say that they’ll take a note.
And make Trudeau’s Charter of Rights for Canadians alone,
Not for all refugees in the world from every combat zone,
We need set-date elections for sure every four or five years,
Not when they feel inclined because of political party fears.

You Never Need To Vote
There’s an important date some time in your future when you will die,
Those among us who may be old and sick may already know why,
But no one is allowed suicide in order to change that date,
But for those in great pain and sorrow, euthanasia could be great.
Holland, Switzerland and Oregon have changed but we’re not allowed,
In most polite societies it cannot be mentioned out loud,
Most priests, ministers and politicians are completely opposed,
Not questioned in Parliament because this subject is closed.
Neither do we have set-date elections and no one is appalled,
And we don’t have binding referendums or political recall,
Your call is very important to us so please stay on the line,
In our first past the post you don’t have to vote any time.

We Need Changes Now
The changes we need, for the most part, remain well hidden,
By the media or the Supreme Court, they are strongly forbidden,
Can’t even be discussed at elections because it’s never allowed,
To think about this, could put you under a human-rights cloud.
A provincial premier should be prime minister each year,
Not politicians trying to turn the top job into a career,
No parties claiming to have special parliamentary rights,
Votes in parliament should be by individuals – not party fights.
We need death with dignity and binding referendums to start,
Not a remote idea from some political bleeding heart,
We need proportional representation in every ward,
It should be the people – not the politicians – who scored.

Binding Referendums Forbidden in Canada
Binding Referendums Forbidden in Canada
If we had propositions like the Americans, what would we like?
Can’t have these changes because our politicians would spike,
But we could at least have binding referendums like the Swiss,
These changes too, our politicians would surely dismiss.
We need to have a plebiscite about our first past the post,
Counting election votes where the loosers quite often win the most,
Should we have Supreme Court appointees elected to that post?
Could we then get judicial reviews where we could actually boast?
Should we rewrite Trudeau’s Charter and make it just for us?
And not let every terrorist in the world, cause a High Court fuss,
If we pulled out of the United Nations would anyone know?
Stand on our own, banned from their Security Council game show.

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.

WHO RUNS THIS LAND NOW? … Nov 20th,2012
By
James Bredin
Is it the High Court, the politicians or the media moguls that rule?
As they pump out their pious pompous propaganda so uncool,
We are denied death-with-dignity and referendums they say,
If you really want some change, you better learn how to pray.
Our politicians seem to disappear for a month or two,
Can't see their empty seats in Parliament because they have a rule,
Though they like to see themselves on TV doing their stuff,
We can't tell them, that without binding referendums; it's not enough.
And you don't count that much because you so seldom vote,
Because without referendums; they have you by the throat,
The idea of binding referendums is strictly forbidden,
Why do the Swiss have them, but not us and I'm not kidding?

How Unıted Are We?
If Switzerland can have binding referendums, why can’t we?
They also have death with dignity, which we’re not allowed to see,
Is it our politicians or our Supreme Court that says no?
Is it expected that we will forever shut up and kowtow?
How do we get this on their pompous political agenda?
Are they busy taxing and spending on their hacienda?
How do we get them to listen to our problems and pay attention?
As they assume that in Canada there can be no tension.
Have I got your attention or should I apologize?
There’s no need to go home and think about this and agonize,
We just need to change our constitution but I forgot,
That’s almost impossible in Trudeau’s constitutional knot.

Stuff We Can't Have
Canadian binding referendums are completely forbidden,
Our pompous politicians don't want to be overridden,
Just like death-with-dignity; we're going nowhere soon,
Politicians are too busy in their private party commune.
We never have a plebiscite and can't have propositions,
Our politicians are busy on various appointed commissions,
No proportional representation or compulsory voting for all,
And secret-list appointees will make the death-with-dignity call.
Appointed senators fill the Senate but none were elected,
Can't point the finger because this system is protected,
And Trudeau wrote the Charter for EVERYONE everywhere,
His son Justin now wants to lead the Liberals and compare.
