New Canadian Ideas Mar 17th,2011
New ideas should be debated so that we can change,
Why should this be blocked by politicians afraid to arrange?
Could have compulsory voting and binding referendums now?
They love their first-past-the-post but it’s not right somehow.
Proportional representation ideas are forbidden,
Death with dignity discussions are all well hidden,
And appointed Supreme Court decisions are often indiscrete,
So we have killing abortion clinics on almost every street.
Canadians should not be allow more than two wives,
Even if two or three more are allowed or tend to arrive,
Subjects that are not politically correct should be discussed,
And these subjects should not be treated with disgust,

Happy New Year
Why can’t we plan when to die near the end of our lives?
We could decide for sooner or later because no one survives,
At the moment it’s against the law but maybe that could change,
But we don’t have an independent politician to arrange.
Because our politicians are tied to some party agenda,
Not allowed to mention recall or forbidden referenda,
Not even allowed to have set date elections or recall,
Democracy all right as we wait for an election call.
The establishment hates plebiscites and propositions are banned,
Participatory democracy is not allowed or planned,
The Swiss have assisted suicide and so do the Dutch,
The Americans in Oregon have and like it just as much.

How To Unite Canada
There are those who think that our Canada has everything right,
And the mention of separatism in Quebec is a fright,
But every now and then the issue becomes front and center,
And out of the woodwork comes one or two Quebecois dissenters.
We need to show the Quebecois that we mean what we say,
Democracy is important to counteract separatist play,
In order to emphasize this we have to sit down and plan change,
Unfortunately our present politicians think this is strange.
Our prime minister should be a different premier each year,
So no politician can turn the position into a career,
The Swiss with binding referendums have true democracy,
A way to counteract our present appointed aristocracy.

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.

Appointed Commission
Dying-with-dignity might be a media-forbidden fact,
The aristocrats believe that this fact could infect,
And cause Canadians to demand some legal change,
But if they don't read about it; there will be no need to rearrange.
And besides; it's probably against every religion,
Especially those well organized about sin; those Christians,
So the opposition is strong and educated and very aware,
Though that death-with-dignity issue becomes louder every year.
Several European countries already have euthanasia,
It tends to be looked at these days; as a musical fantasia,
So there's no doubt that it's coming our way despite the opposition,
Politicians might stop it with another appointed commission.

The Un Is Defective
We need a UN international inquiry debate,
Because the UN is likely to cause or expand more hate,
Because dictators and their henchmen want to rule the globe,
And at the UN they can wear an ecclesiastical robe.
There must be an easier way than the UN arrangement,
Turn out the lights, change the rules and cause some rearrangement,
To a new system where hatred and threats are not allowed,
From dictators shouting in their own translated language out loud.
It's as though they make their own UN rules as they move around,
Followed by another group of friends or strange looking clowns,
With no objections because we're so politically correct,
Which is the main reason why the UN has gone into defect.

CONSTITUTIONAL COMMITTEE June 15th,2011
We need a constitutional committee to submit new stuff,
To change the flaws in the Charter though this could be mighty rough,
To get death with dignity and binding referendums soon,
And not be tied down in a politically correct commune.
We need politicians with guts to say they have had enough,
No more being party submissive – they have to get tough,
Proportional representation would do for a start,
Elected Supreme Court and Senators and no more bleeding hearts.
Where abortion clinics can be put to a national vote,
Not given to the Supreme Court and then put on remote,
We need some politician to come forward and talk about this,
Because this is our one chance to get changes like the Swiss.

Abortion Clinics May 13 2011
Are Canadians being replaced by those who believe?
That a holocaust of unborn babies is a way to achieve?
And subsequent population reduction will be great?
They even ensure that this subject is never up for debate.
Appointees in the Supreme Court are much higher than god,
With a hidden agenda and a politically correct nod,
Their Supreme Court decision on abortions proved one thing,
Death with dignity is out but abortion holocaust is in.
How does one get an appointment to the Supreme Court?
Is that question too delicate where women are allowed to abort?
But the Supreme Court made that law involving unborn baby deaths,
Babies before they had a chance to take their first breath.

Do We Have An Independent Canadian Politician?
When politicians go to Ottawa, they take on airs,
They become the establishment and it’s none of our affairs,
Isolated from constituents with pompous party agendas,
While their media moguls will produce their propaganda.
Binding referendums, euthanasia and recall not mentioned,
And they’d like to stay in Ottawa until they are pensioned,
You are merely an observer in these events so stay cool,
Not a chance that the establishment will ever change some rules.
We need changes up there and not just some window dressing,
Unknown number of incoming refugees to keep us guessing,
Is it possible for Canadians to have a tea party?
Is the UN Security Council without us, feeling hearty?

GET RID OF PAROLE BOARDS Apr 14th,2011
What can we do about soft Parole Boards, please tell me now,
How do we shut them all down; please tell me or write me how,
Who are these political appointees with no known names?
Who said we needed them or are they all playing some games?
No capital punishment ‘cause it’s not politically correct,
And these soft Parole Boards have an even worse effect,
And convicts can get free by appealing to these Parole Boards,
As if they had done something good and needed an award.
Do we have to obey these appointed aristocrats?
Could our system of government be called democrat?
Has anyone ever complained about killers being set free?
Are our politicians and trustees forever absentees?
