Dying With Dignity Sept 5th,2012
Dying with dignity is about living life on your own terms,
When and if you get your euthanasia and how it performs,
We should not need to go to High Court to get permission to die,
To have some pompous judge refuse, while looking you in the eye.
Persons with painful or cancerous diseases should have permission,
And automatic after consultation with their physician,
This should be a constitutional right and no need to implore,
Or be told by some imperial judge to get out the door.
Our do-nothing politicians want to avoid this subject,
They follow political Party rules and don't want to connect,
What the High Court did to Sue Rodriguez, they may do to you,
Those who are suffering should not have to suffer as they say adieu.

Our Elected Politicians
Our politicians seem to send their problems to the Supreme Court,
Such as abortion and death with dignity and manage to distort,
As if none of this was really their responsibility,
So better to pass it up to the appointed nobility.
As they get away with this and have for years and years,
Are Canadians getting the gears or is this just how it appears?
As babies get aborted and we have no death with dignity,
And it’s not politically correct to mention this indignity.
And no one seems to want to step forward and make a change,
What do we the people have to do, to arrange or rearrange?
We could send an e-mail, I suppose but do you think it would work?
Dream on my friend; they don’t want to change and might call you a dork.

Toronto Insite Clinic
Drug-addicts called 'clients' supported by nurses and support staff,
Illegal drugs bought on street and criminals just laugh,
Twelve injection booths to inject illicit drugs and get high,
Clean free needles, syringes, cookers, filters to help them fly.
Vancouver free site where drug addicts can do their drugs,
Though taxpayers pay for it and can get nothing but a shrug,
Though the Conservative government tried to close it down,
The Supreme Court told them to stop fooling around.
And now special-interest groups want one in Toronto too,
They would and could call it a health issue to bring it through,
And the taxpayers could pay the bills and take it on the chin,
Though the addicts bought drugs the street before they came in.

Go Back To Sleep Mar 9th,2011
Sometimes I can see trouble in the distance coming down the road,
Usually some foreign despot dictator screaming in code,
Like one of our politicians in a parliamentary debate,
Making an officious announcement that things are always great.
Though he knows that less than half Canadians bother to vote,
And nothing can change so we can stay on electoral remote,
Where proportional representation is strictly forbidden,
And anomalies in first-past-the-post are always hidden.
Where mid term and propositions and set-date elections are unknown,
And Trudeau’s Charter was written for “EVERYONE” in all zones,
Where death with dignity is a serious criminal offence,
According to our appointed Supreme Court arrogance.

Ottawa Changes, June 23rd,2011
If we scrapped the appointed Senate, would anyone know?
But their political appointees want to maintain the status quo,
They have good soft well paying jobs until they are nearly dead,
Or was that seventy five or eighty five - no one really read.
To listen to their news, it might be the end of the world.
Nothing like this has happened before since the flag was unfurled,
God might come down from heaven or the devil come up from hell,
Whose doing this – the prime minister or some drug cartel?
Because those of us outside of Ottawa would hardly know,
Not much concerned with distant Ottawa government overflow,
So the provinces might get a kick at the cat and all that,
Because Ottawa expects that the provinces should go to bat.

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?

Canadians Should Vote Or Else Mar 2nd,2011
Canadians who don’t vote should get a fifty-dollar fine,
If their social insurance numbers do not show on a ballot line,
And this will show on their next year’s income tax return
Where the fifty-dollar addition might indeed show some concern.
Canadians should have binding referendums to control politicians,
Who seem to have their own hidden agendas and secret conditions,
Death with dignity should be a referendum question,
So those waiting around to die can at least get some suggestions.
Recall of useless politicians should be up for debate,
And passed into law to stop politicians who only skate,
Supreme Court, Parole Boards and Senate should be elected,
So that the present cozy relationship can be rejected.

ONGOING CANADIAN ELECTION Apr 2nd,2011
There are issues our Canadian politicians tend to avoid,
Like a deep hole in the road at least a half a mile wide,
Binding referendums and death with dignity are only two,
Plus the issue of compulsory voting which is overdue.
Having a debate about a debate any time any place,
On radio, on TV, on the Internet right in your face,
They want to be the first in line to tell you what to do,
But no binding referendums for them and what they should do.
They can appoint friends to the Senate and Supreme Court when they like,
These judges and senators can’t be voted in and some stay for life,
There’s no proportional representation in our first-past-the-post,
Where the combined opposition usually have many more votes.

Before You Die... Dec 2nd,2012
Before your name gets into the obituaries, you must die,
And you may not have had the opportunity to say good-bye,
Because you have little control of anything relative to your death,
No death-with-dignity as you wait quietly to take your last breathe.
And those opposed to death-with-dignity want nothing to change,
Like the Sue Rodriguez case and nothing will be rearranged,
You will either go to heaven or hell; it depends on yourself,
Death-with-dignity is a sin and no one should lower themselves.
Therefore it is the holier than thou churches that are adamant,
Bishops and holy priests will be the only informants,
Therefore the law cannot be changed to help the sick and dying,
There's no other way except obeying and complying.

Euthanasia For All Canadians
Our party politicians can't have an independent thought,
Locked in their party agenda as though they had been bought,
Therefore they'r politically correct with a complete lack of guts,
Hanging together because this is how the party works.
Where assisted suicide and euthanasia will not prevail,
Doctors involved in this could be sentenced to many years in jail,
Where ruling elite media moguls do all the research,
Of course they're opposed to referendums and in league with the church.
We need some radical changes to get euthanasia allowed,
Where Canadians can die in painless peace and feel quite proud,
Where party politicians are not tied to their agenda,
Lined up marching in lock step with their party propaganda
