Canadian Euthanasia and abortions
By
James Bredin
No euthanasia for old adults but abortion for babies,
Some Supreme Court decision to help certain pregnant ladies,
The half who vote are led by a bureaucrat aristocrat,
In an office in Ottawa behaving like an autocrat.
Those who made abortions legal could make them illegal too,
Supreme Court appointees could turn true to you but who knew?
Is it possible that the people could bring these changes about?
Or do we have to live out our long or short lives in complete doubt?
Governments may eventually change at an election,
But how to change the party system and their selections?
To get binding referendums and political recall imposed,
Is the media in their pockets and nothing will be disclosed?

The Canadian Dilemma
By
James Bredin
The problems of the world are as close as your computer screen,
Poverty, hunger, sickness, the plague and everything in between,
But don’t worry your politicians wants to find a cure,
They are so good at traveling the world to locate the poor.
They’re talking about giving all the refugees sanctuary,
Though this decision may be extremely arbitrary,
They got help from activists who brought about these decisions,
There is no political recall so no system revisions.
As a Canadian you have nothing to say about this,
You are forbidden binding referendums, unlike the Swiss,
Your politicians are traveling off on a refugees crusade,
You seldom vote, have no input and even finance the gay parade.

System Changes are Forbidden
By
James Bredin
Our politicians want you to behave and join their party,
No need for an independent thought and there is nothing dirty,
Ideas of referendums, euthanasia and recall are hidden,
It’s just that in the party system they are all forbidden.
Because their disciplined party system is the only way to go,
And no need to do much thinking because party leaders know,
And it’s the party line we have to follow, right or wrong,
You just shut up; don’t talk or write because this is where you belong.
And if the party wants to travel, tax and spend, that’s how it will be,
In party discipline you have to just shut up and wait and see,
All changes are forbidden and no one can ever take the blame,
Don’t worry about the opposition because they are the same.

No Ontario cell phone law yet
By
James Bredin
Our politicians talk all day and half the night on their cell phones,
At taxpayers’ expense of course amid our overtaxed groans,
And half the drivers in heavy traffic are now using cell phones,
In order to buy them, some of them had to take out loans.
You must see them as you drive here and there and everywhere,
You don’t know how many accidents are caused by their affair,
But some of them drive slowly in order to talk and concentrate,
Some seem to be waving their hands in order to articulate.
It means one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the phone,
Half the people talking to the other half as far as is known,
Some day in the distant future, they might change the cell phone law,
No referendums, no recall and we can’t see a flaw.

If Only a Few People Bother to Vote
By
James Bredin
Canadians seldom vote and our politicians love that,
No compulsory voting, no strong leadership in their combat,
No binding referendums, no political recall but who cares?
Not politicians for sure because the problem is not theirs.
It’s rule by appointed Supreme Court folk all dressed in bright red,
Rule according to Trudeau’s Charter for “Everyone” it is said,
And “Everyone” means every refugee that they can find,
With a completely hidden agenda that no one seems to mind,
But as only half the people vote; it means no one really cares,
And compulsory voting will never be allowed they all declare,
It’s not politically correct to mention that something is wrong,
No binding referendums or recall is their constant song.

Old Men with no e-mail addresses
By
James Bredin
Very few men I worked with used the key board way back then,
Few typewriters available so we wrote with ball point pen,
We were ready to retire when the computers arrived,
We had waited long enough and didn’t feel one bit deprived.
But some of us are evasive when asked for an e-mail address,
Some never learned the keyboard and are too proud to confess,
My wife has an e-mail address some say as though in self defense,
Therefore why should I bother; as though this too makes sense.
We gather at pensioners meetings and funerals now,
Amid the hearing aids and spectacles but no e-mails allowed,
Where going to a web page may be a problem over our heads,
That plus some of us have to remember to take our meds.

The Toronto Garbage Strike
By
James Bredin
How long does it take to legislate these members back to work?
As the garbage bags climb higher because of some union dork,
How long can we take the smell and stand helplessly aside?
Is this where democracy and dictatorship collide?
Do we have a politician who can make a decision?
Why do I see them on their cell phones but no supervision?
This garbage strike shows us that something is systemically wrong?
We have no recall, no referendums, strugling to get along.
Why is it that the police are an essential service?
But not the garbage men which eventually will make us nervous,
Our systemic legal social system is extremely weak here,
If we had binding referendums we could the interfere.

Access to Information
By
James Bredin
Access to information is a dream, fallacy and illusion,
Pumped up by politicians to cause a public delusion,
Government politicians want to keep all their secret codes,
They certainly don’t want strangers like you, making inroads.
They very likely may have dodgy stuff they want to hide,
Maybe they didn’t tell the truth or most likely they just lied,
And they certainly don’t want you revealing their nasty sins,
They really want to avoid the changes that this could bring.
Because all governments want to avoid bringing in change,
They want everything to stay the same and not have to rearrange,
They want no referendums or political recall allowed,
Therefore no access to information by the common crowd.

UN Building in NY
Do we have a problem?
By
James Bredin
They’re going to find many more refugees wherever they can,
In the darkest of dark continents they will go and scan,
And bring them here by the millions and give them Charter Rights,
And get a nod of agreement from the UN to their delight.
Of course these refugees should learn English or French and get a job,
But why; they’re on welfare in the Ghetto with their own mob,
And lots of balcony satellite dishes pointed at the sky,
To stay in their own culture and you are forbidden to ask why.
And this is all extremely politically sensitive stuff,
And our politically correct politicians can’t get enough,
As they double tax and spend and tax and spend some more,
The United Nations doesn’t pay for that Afghanistan war.

Ottawa Politicians
By
James Bredin
Politicians in Ottawa are indeed very pleased,
Completely isolated from Canadian reality,
There are no abortion clinics or half way houses where they go,
They don’t have to worry because they make lots and lots of dough.
The garbage men on strike doesn’t seem to even bother them,
That’s in far away Windsor and Toronto so no one can condemn,
And parliament is closed down for the summer anyway,
And half the Canadians don’t bother to vote or have a say.
But neither do Canadians have referendums or recall,
So ministers and mandarins cover their tracks behind a wall,
Ottawa spends three hundred million a year that no one knows,
Party system of first past the post and they win by a nose.
