Can't Look In The Mirror

Various appointees dressed up like Santa Clause, behaving like god,
Refused to give Sue Rodriguez her death-with-dignity nod,
They are obviously and definitely a sign that we should change,
This is complicated in Trudeau’s Charter and difficult to arrange.

If we could elect Supreme Court judges, that would be better,
How do we start this change – with an e-mail or a letter?
Not likely you will read or hear this in the media soon,
Because they too want nothing to change in our little commune.

Though we have permission for more abortion clinics here and there,
Maybe reduce the number of live Canadians but do they care?
We’re locked in politically correct policies and can’t complain,
And we may soon have more injection sites – another no-brain.

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.

Busy on our I pads Aug 4th,2012

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.

Young Single Pregnant Lady

Young lady, please choose life and don’t abort that unborn baby,
Some couple will adopt him or her and no if ands or maybe,
It doesn’t matter what religion you are because the baby can’t tell,
He/She would rather stick around than have to wave farewell.

Because at the abortion clinic, they will murder your child,
Though they come across as though they have respect and never reviled,
They will dropp the fetus of your dead baby in a garbage bag,
This is all well hidden because they are silent and never brag.

This they wont let you see because it’s done behind a curtain,
There’s something terribly tragic about this and I am certain,
Ask around because someone wants a baby and can’t have one,
You can help them with a new life that has just begun.

First Past The Post System Feb 10th,2011

First-past-the-post system ensures that the winners indeed know the score,
Because the collected votes of the others combined are much more,
And then add that proportional representation is banned,
Some constituents don’t vote because they feel the outcome is canned.

Because their votes are meaningless in the mishmash of numbers,
First-past-the-post ensures that the majority are outnumbered,
And no one seems interested in fixing this problem,
They are too busy talking or waving some flag or some emblem.

It is not an election task that is easily explained,
Number one has ten votes more than number two and twelve more than three,
So two and three combined have much more votes than number one,
Number one always wins and majority loose and this is not fun.

Distance In Miles Feb 27th,2011

I’m sorry but I never did forget inches, feet, yards and miles,
And I can’t forget Fahrenheit; replaced by Celsius denials,
I feel as though I’ve broken some rule or law and maybe I did,
I’m looking around for a sign that says, what I did was forbid.

I’m sure our Ottawa bureaucrats thought this change was great,
Dump the old inches and feet and miles and don’t have any debate,
Then our politically correct politicians all said yes,
I still think the numbers on my car speedometer are a mess.

I’ve not known the distance from Montreal to Toronto since then,
Nor the temperatures on TV though I hear them again and again,
Maybe I should see a psychiatrist to see what’s wrong with me,
How long has this being going on; maybe I need some vitamin B?

Rob Ford 2... Nov 29th,2012

ROB FORD 2... Nov 29th,2012
by
James Bredin

If we don't get Rob Ford back as mayor; we're ruined for sure,
God only knows what the other idiots will do to make us poor,
They might like insite clinics or those doing drugs and crack,
Therefore we need Rob Ford in office to keep Toronto on track.

We like Rob Ford because he's our kinda good guy,
The left-wingers didn't like him and forced him to say goodbye,
Used the courts and a judge to force him out the door,
As if Rob Ford was some sort of criminal bore.

The Un In New York Oct 2nd 2012

THE UN IN NEW YORK OCT 2ND 2012
BY
JAMES BREDIN


The unstable near-east conditions of revolutions,
And building nuclear bombs where the UN has no solutions,
Where diplomatic relations are out of control to no avail,
Have we all gone mad and will this terrible attitude prevail?




Where one civil war can cause thousands to be bombed or shot dead,
And the impotent Security Council has veto-voting heads,
Pretending to be concerned about global human rights,
But not where there's civil war and revolutionary fights.

Idle Chatter July 25th,2012

Why can't we have the death penalty or execution reinstalled?
Though the activists who oppose it would be extremely appalled,
Several US states and European countries have it now,
How many can the hoods shoot dead with their guns, before we're allowed?

Our problem of guns and gangs is an extremely sorry tale,
We don't have capital punishment and we can't keep them in jail,
These mostly fatherless gang guys from the projects know the score,
Been In that environment all their lives so they've been there before.

They know the Parole Boards and the soft system and how to get out,
They know the legal-aid lawyers lined up and they don't have a doubt,
The politically correct have questions but want to do good,
And the people they want to help, have guns and mostly wear hoods.

Euthanasia For You And Me

Heaven or hell, it doesn’t matter and they’re all the same to me,
It’s how I get through death’s door because I don’t have a key,
And before you get to either heaven or hell, you have to die,
And that could be painful and long and dreadful and I don’t know why.

If we could get euthanasia, we wouldn’t have to die in pain,
But we’re not allowed to get it and there’s no where we can complain,
Our self-righteous religious types think that this is just great,
We might die in great agony and pain and no need for debate.

The Dutch, the Swiss and Americans from Oregon have this,
Though the rest of us can think about it but then dismiss,
We need some powerful politician to make the suggestion,
That euthanasia is not sinful where everyone can question.
