We Need Change Feb 15th 2011
Media moguls manage the news so Canadians don’t know,
That binding referendums should be vital for us to go,
And get control of our politicians so reluctant to change,
Who tax and spend and travel and talk and never rearrange.
And Trudeau’s Charter written for “EVERYONE” on earth should change,
Human rights types and their lawyers lined up and no one thinks its strange,
While we are banned from the Security Countil at the UN,
What’s next and when will they do it to us again and again?
If we can kill babies daily at every abortion clinic,
But banned from assisted suicide by some Supreme Court cynic,
Sue Rodriguez did it the properly and way out of our view,
She died but no one knew how or who or where or what she used.

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.

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?

Death with dignity was not mentioned in Trudeau's Charter of Rights,
Therefore our politicians avoid this issue with great delight,
But our Supreme Court banned it and Sue Rodriguez had to die,
Their rule was law for all Canadians and it had to apply.
The Americans in Oregon and Washington have it now,
It's a state issue there and doesn't seem to cause any row,
It's where Americans can decide when and where and how to die,
But Canadians are banned though no one really knows why.
Quebec might try to make it a provincial issue here,
Where Quebecois could look forward to death with no great fear,
So it's obvious that this issue is not going away soon,
Unfortunately the Supreme Court is not known to change its tune.

Canadıan Bındıng Referendums
If the Swiss have binding referendums, why can’t we?
Are we so submissive that we get down on one knee?
If those in Oregon have death with dignity, why can’t we?
Is this a Supreme-Court dictatorship where we have to agree?
It might mean that us Canadians could call the place ours.
And the establishment hierarchy might loose some power.
We need a permanent constitutional committee for change,
But our appointees and politicians refuse to arrange.
Because no one has the guts to propose this type of change,
The complacent media look on these ideas as very strange,
It can’t happen, it will not happen because it’s completely banned,
Without binding referendums, Canadians just can’t demand.

What's going on in Ottawa?
Those binding referendums that the Swiss seem to have nailed down,
It’s enough for some Canadians to feel like a clown,
Because Canadians are forbidden to have this type of change,
The establishment and politicians think of this as too strange.
This subject is also hidden and gets no media reportage,
We have Trudeau’s Charter so therefore there is no shortage,
And Canadians are not required to vote so who really cares?
There is also recall which we are totally unawares.
But how do we get politicians to pay attention to what we need?
Like binding referendums and recall and we should be agreed.
How do we get mandatory voting where those who don’t, get fined?
The lack of action from Ottawa just cannot be defined.

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.

NO NEED TO VOTE Apr 8th,2011
Canadians should have compulsory voting or be fined,
Otherwise they may as well be retarded, deaf, dumb and blind,
Because our politicians avoid issues that should be up front,
Binding referendums and death-with-dignity to be blunt.
It’s law in the state of Oregon, Washington and Switzerland,
But for some reason; here in Canada it is strictly banned,
Doctor assisted suicide banned by appointed Supreme Court,
And they are not elected so they need no one’s support.
And we are having an election about no issues that count,
Though politicians are all excited to no small amount,
They seem to think that they will never come face to face with death,
As they run here and there and they are almost out of breath.

A Result Of Trudeau's Charter
A graphic result since Pierre Trudeau wrote his Charter,
Terrorists going to the Supreme Court claim they could be martyrs,
And refugees approaching by the shiploads being escorted in,
Certain socialist citizens always look at this as win win.
Media moguls cannot find fault with our constitution,
Written for “EVERYONE” in the world for distribution,
Canada’s future may have been dropped in a baby-death bag,
Charter-result decision abortion clinic with no name tag.
How dare you even suggest that something might be wrong,
Don’t you realize the huge politically correct throng?
Those unborn babies at the abortion clinic are not alive,
But why were they made dead before they even arrived?
And there’s much worse than that because there’s nothing we can do,
Captured by Trudeau’s Charter events and stuck down like glue,
Even the religious crowd seldom speak on this matter,
As though it was forbidden and had to avoid the splatter.

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?

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.

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.

HAVE WE GONE OFF THE RAILS? Apr 10th 2011
If we can accept an abortion clinic on every street,
Imposed by our appointed Supreme Court as hard as concrete,
Politically correct holocaust of unborn babies now,
Never mentioned in Parliament and was just not allowed,
Where death with dignity, unlike abortions, is an offence,
And appointed aristocrats will show their lack of elegance,
Where binding referendums are both illegal and banned,
And those who are politically correct think this is grand.
And our coming election is not about to change one thing,
It’s about the upper echelon as they pull their agenda string,
No wonder that less than half Canadians even bother to vote,
What’s the use, if what they want to change, they can’t promote.

DEATH WITH DIGNITY PLEASE June 4th,2011
I have a problem as I get older and closer to my death,
Nothing can be planned or scheduled and no times can be set,
The Sue Rodriguez incident passed without notice and why?
With Lou Gehrig’s disease; in pain; they would not allow her to die.
Our lofty Supreme Court dressed like Santa Clause are academics,
They allow the death of unborn babies at abortion clinics,
We are forbidden binding referendums and therefore can’t change,
We are stuck in our system and not allowed to rearrange.
But I’m not the only one who is slowly approaching death,
Others too will eventually realize this, you can bet,
Binding referendums could force our politicians to think,
That maybe death with dignity is the big interlink.

Assisted Suicide Is Banned Feb 11th,2011
Just suppose you wanted to die because of your situation,
suppose you had bad cancer and lost your job at the gas station,
And no one could help you with the awful pain and distress,
And suicide was deemed the only way out of your alful mess.
But of course this wont happen to you because you are young and strong,
Because being young and healthy and nothing much ever goes wrong,
But slowly, ever so slowly, you grow old and closer to death,
Sorry... but you are programmed to eventually run out of breath.
But in Switzerland and Oregon and Washington, they can,
Arrange for assisted suicide though here it’s completely banned,
Our establishment and politicians don’t really care,
Something to do with the appointed Supreme Court so they don’t dare.
The same court that allowed abortion clinics on every street,
And no one complained about the large number of babies they delete,
Where ladies have their babies killed every day at the clinic,
And we accept all these events and no one will admit being a cynic.

Referendums Sept 8th,2012
REFERENDUMS Sept 8th,2012
By
James Bredin
Binding referendums are the flashpoint of future change,
Why are they so difficult to arrange and extremely strange?
Why do our appointees and politicians just smile and walk away?
Why are media moguls so careful in what they write and say?
Binding referendums and death with dignity are banned,
Why are these, never even whispered by the higher command?
It's a graphic demonstration that our democracy is an illusion,
Or is it that our aristocrats are in collusion?
Because change is also forbidden by the higher ups,
They want no interruptions to their lifestyles deluxe,
And binding referendums could give power to the crowds,
This might change things for those who live in the clouds.

Sue Rodriguez A Great Lady Feb 20th,2011
They say that no one wants to die but apparently some do,
Sue Rodriguez did but our appointed Supreme Court refused,
“Whose life is it anyway? ” she asked and she wasn’t amused,
Media moguls, priests and bishops were not in the least bit confused.
Hope you never end up in a bad situation like that,
And expect our Supreme Court or politicians to go to bat,
Death with dignity should be discussed on every veranda,
Assisted suicide should should be on every political agenda.
Because there is no way out of it; we are all approaching death,
A subject most of us would like to avoid; you can bet,
And politicians seem to think that they will live forever,
Canadians can’t interfere with their lifestyle whatsoever.

We Need Binding Referendums Now Feb 19th 2011
We don’t need to go somewhere else to solve our legal problems,
We can do it here in Canada with binding referendums,
But we don’t have binding referendums because they are banned,
And worse, only establishment media moguls can take a stand.
And now and then we even have an election where they boast,
Though no set-date elections allowed and only first past the post,
No proportional representation or equalization,
In our so called stable democratic first-past-the-post nation.
And our politicians are busy taxing and spending right now,
Therefore binding referendums is something they will not allow,
This will not be discussed on TV or written in the papers,
Nor will death with dignity or any other strange capers.

Why Canadians Don't Vote
The sad part of it all is; we’re here for a while and passing through,
Nothing changes and then we’re gone and we’re replaced by a new crew,
Our elected politicians seem reluctant to make a change,
They want to keep their positions and why should that be so strange?
So how do we compel our politicians to bring about change?
Such as binding referendums which they refuse to arrange,
Or death with dignity, which they won’t talk about or even touch,
They seem to think that these incoming strange ideas are too much.
Our appointed Supreme Court can change or make lots of new laws,
As they are dressed up in long red gowns just like Santa Clause,
Abortion clinics on almost every street in every town,
Secretly killing unborn babies in a holocaust of renown.

What Indignity?
We need politicians, who are willing to vote for change,
We may already have them if we can convince them to rearrange,
Death with dignity so that we can all die on time and in peace,
And not some frightful terrible painful horrible disease.
Sorry to wake you up with a slight touch of reality and fear,
But they have it in Oregon and Washington but not here,
If we could get our politicians to wake up and pay attention,
Instead of party bound to their own agenda and extension.
Media moguls and High Court judges seem to be holding hands,
About certain subjects not tolerated and completely banned,
That’s binding referendums and peaceful death with dignity,
You don’t know and are never told about this indignity.

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.
