Will we continue to Kowtow?

By

James Bredin

The Adscam revelations are indeed no big deal,
That’s how the Liberals run things in Quebec, so get real,
Their sense of entitlement that equalization breeds,
Though we’re taxed to the neck that we don’t seem to heed.

They had this scheme of embezzlement extortion and graft,
As part of their Quebec antics and political craft,
Refused to fix the Charter or touch Confederation,
For same-sex stuff and Kyoto and a UN decoration.

Dysfunctional political plunder and veiled blackmail,
Pompously pretending that they will always prevail,
Even the burned out rusty submarine and that sailor’s death,
They delayed while the Chicoutimi rusted at a berth.

We don’t need referendums because only they can decide,
Their corruption and despot detailed status quo will provide,
Though their Liberal dynasty is coming apart at the seams,
They want to stay forever but that’s now in their dreams.

Because no one paid attention to Shawinigate,
No prosecutions or inquiries and now it’s too late,
Can’t debate because the Mounty and ethics guy said “Okay.”
Two guys he appointed and what did we think they would say?

Or the billion that went missing at HRDC,
He explained that it was lost and that was just so easy,
The question is not if we can read the writing on the wall,
But can we fix Canada or can we break the fall?

As we shake our heads and wonder what we should do,
Can’t imprison politicians but what to do in lieu,
Can’t fix Canada because that too they’ve forbidden,
For their status quo reasons that don’t need to be hidden.

Hockey – not realism -- is our favorite sports,
As we listen and read Liberal propaganda reports,
By writers who sold them their souls very long ago,
And pump daily propaganda so we will all kowtow.

A Message to Prime minister Paul Martin

The Americans can impeach their Presidents

By

James Bredin

Of Course you are trying to save Canada from extinction,
Provided you and your Liberals get an extension,
And you continue to rule as with Chretien, you went along,
And now suddenly you tell us, you may have been wrong.

:idea:

What did you think during the Shawinigate Affair?
His ethics guy and the Mounty on a wing and a prayer,
And that billion dollars at HRDC that went missing?
Do you ever talk about these when you are reminiscing?

:evil:

And you tell us we should be happy and carefree and gay,
And you’ll implement and stick us with same-sex stuff any day,
Your wishy washy ambiguous ambitious agenda is fine,
Certain newspapers pump our your propaganda all the time,

8)

You said you wanted all the facts to come out,
But we already know enough and we don’t have a doubt,
The Americans can impeach their presidents but not us,
We can’t even vote for our PM but ‘twas ever thus.



We are held captive while politicians discuss election,
No set dates and we can’t discuss the selection,
No referendums, no recall or property rights,
No withstanding clause used to the Liberal delights.

Paul: Remember Joe Clark

By

James Bredin

Paul: Remember Joe Clark during his short stay in power,
He too traveled the world and looked down from the peace tower,
Remember Kim Campbell and if you do, you’re the only one,
Her GST party disappeared and it wasn’t much fun.

:idea:

You had your chance to change things but you were too busy,
Meeting tin pot dictators and they were all in a tizzy,
You and Joe Clark and Chretien all loved the United Nations,
You were absent half the time because of their invitations.



I hear you want to stiff us with Kyoto and some same-sex stuff,
And it will be taught in the schools to ensure we get enough,
And you want to stick around for at least another year,
To impose this same-sex stuff before the Liberals disappear.



And like your predecessor, you never touched the Charter,
Nor used the notwithstanding clause – no Liberal martyr,
No referendums, recall, term limits or set-date elections,
And Adscam shows us all the Liberal connections.

Like Shawinigate a Few Years Ago

By

James Bredin

If they make it to summer recess, we will be betrayed,
They’ll stretch recess on past Christmas and they’re made in the shade,
But the handwriting is on the wall in a big rough scrawl,
Are you listening carefully Liberal Prime Minister Paul?



The payoffs and kickbacks in millions of dollars,
Overtime, adding machines, computers and scholars,
Who now try to figure out where the money went,
Did it all go back to them and is the complete Party bent?

:roll:

As same-sex stuff and Kyoto they are going to impose,
Plus advice from Bono and other UN stuff, God only knows,
Martin’s speech was just a cynical attempt to hang on,
Thirty days after the Gomery report is far too long.



They want foreign aid in cash and in very large amounts,
For food and drugs and guns and in a large Swiss account,
And that’s the reason they want it strictly in cash,
No paper trail for folks who might have a UN stash.

:twisted:

The free fall of their party is a frightening sight,
But honest Canadians find this to be a great delight,
How many seats will they have when they finally hit the floor?
Or could they or would they finally sneak out the back door?



They have a crooked government-paid-for poll to show,
That a mysterious majority of people know,
That this corruption and kickbacks they just didn’t know,
Like Shawinigate shenanigans a few years ago.

Advice to Stephen Harper

By

James Bredin


It looks as though you may be our next prime minister,
Will you be Chretien, Martin or Mulroney – all sinister?
And it looks like you may have to do this without Quebec,
Though those three all came from there if you bother to check.

But being the next prime minister could mean you’ll be the last,
The opportunity to change this may have long since past,
The separatists in Quebec might pull Referendum Three,
They’re not too pleased about the Adscam stuff, so we will see.

They never did sign onto Trudeau’s Charter we hear,
Though we pay them ransom called equalization every year,
Why this happens, the feds like yourself have no doubt,
Disrespectful of me to be so blatant and point it out.

Therefore you should change things as soon as you go in the door,
Not a world tour like many of your predecessors before,
And please don’t preach to us about the great United Nations,
But try to improve Canada-US border relations.

Power is the ultimate euphoria they say,
That’s why the Liberals never fixed things and wanted to stay,
They thought Trudeau’s Charter was just perfect for them
So how could some Canadians think otherwise or condemn?

Please try to fix the constitution and not a federal stall,
Equal provinces, referendums, elected Senate, recall,
Questions to all biased appointees including High Court,
Otherwise your term and Canada’s may indeed be short.

As A Result of the Gomery Inquiry

By

James Bredin

The Martin-Layton deal with the devil may not hold,
Even if it does for a while, they’re finished, I’m told,
In the meantime they feel the inquiry should be shut down,
It’s costing too much they claim and nothing worth while has been found.

They like parliament in recess because there are no questions,
How they tax, spend and extort merely by using suggestions,
If they make it to summer recess they’ll extend it till next year.
We will get what we deserve but we have nothing to fear.

If you paid your extortionate taxes, you realize by now,
They are taking us to the cleaners because we allow,
They need that money for more of that equalization,
Or stash it in some covert place called a special foundation.

We have no control over what they do with our money,
Heard about corruption and kickbacks that they think is funny,
But how can we change things and make them unemployed?
Before we the people and this country is destroyed.

They deny that faithful members were appointed to the bench,
For volunteering during an election or they spoke French,
Party-member lawyers were not rewarded with those jobs,
These false allegations are just coming from right-wing mobs.

And independent committees made these decisions,
They were all above board so no questions or revisions,
Canadians don’t want changes so we stick in the status quo,
While the Liberals fork out all our pre-election dough.

They Do It Because We Let Them

By

James Bredin

Do Canadian politicians come from deep down in hell?
As they tax and spend and travel and announce all is well,
And these concerned types call us a nation of minorities,
As they try to impose Kyoto and same-sex stuff as priorities.

Mixed with multiculturalism maneuvered as they preach,
No melting pot for these guys as they each overreach,
And hide their hidden agendas with their vested welfare,
And at the Adscam hearings deny they were even aware.

These Liberals are out now buying votes by the hour,
Using our money to keep themselves in permanent power,
As we watch helplessly – a billion here, a million there,
And no one says it’s crooked – oh we wouldn’t dare.

Blatant Adscam type maneuvers to manipulate money,
In a distant tin pot dictatorship this would seem funny,
As they make deals with the devil and send you out mail,
And none of them, ever, ever, go to jail.

They treat you like a commodity that can be bought,
Then they travel the world and visit every resort,
Spending your money like water at Niagara Falls,
They do it because we let them and they have the balls.

Re: RE: Can You Hear the Prison Gates Clang?

You’ll read about this in the papers as time goes by,
You can then think back and say, who was that poet guy?

I don't want to put words in Shamus11's mouth, and I understand he's writing about the Liberals, but I think that no matter who ends up getting elected next time around, we will be able to

Look back on the words of the poet guy
And realize they still apply
'Cause the Grits, the Tories and the NDP
Are all part of the political minority

By the way Shamus11, it's neat the way you can crank this stuff out.

The Secret Appointee Wink

By

James Bredin

I hate to tell you this and it may already be too late,
The chips are in, the strings are pulled and there was no debate,
The dye was cast by those who would not fix the constitution,
It’s Kyoto and no provincial autonomy solution.



The same-sex Adscam guys who got those secret kickbacks,
Suffering memory loss while lying and denying kinky facts,
We watch mesmerized as they dole our money for an election,
Claim they want human rights and its for our own protection.



And no one can put a stop to this pre election graft,
The adscam guys have done it for years and everyone laughed,
And people are trained like dogs to expect these donations,
Just as we overlook our money in their secret foundations.



And we are caught in their web of deceit like the incoming tide
Money needed for this and for that, we just can’t deny,
Could you blame the Quebecois for pulling referendum three?
Politicians don’t act – they only react and we will see.

:?

We need referendums, recall and elected Senate now,
Political term limits of two is all we should allow,
Provinces should decide who will be a Supreme Court Judge,
No more of these appointments for life with a wink and a nudge.

Provincial Autonomy is the only way to Go

By

James Bredin

The wake-up call is now or we’re going into the do do deep,
Rewrite the constitution and then we can go back to sleep,
Revolutionaries act while politicians might react,
More provincial autonomy now and we just might stay intact.

Ottawa doesn’t want to know about the fork in the road,
They want to stick to the status quo in their present abode,
And then spin things this way or that way and the PM is czar,
And don’t call because they’re out of town holidaying afar.

Their propaganda pompously proclaims that nothing is wrong,
And Referendum Three will not be theirs or our swan song,
And we are not like lemmings all leaving for the sea,
They’ll solve our unity problems with more adscam for you and me.

All we have to do is wait and wait and wait for them to react,
Two years, four years, maybe twenty years and that’s a fact,
This unity problem is not real and only in Quebec,
The other provinces are quite and docile if you check.

And the equalization ransom should buy our way out,
Unlike the adscam, this has been accepted without a doubt,
So wait a few more years after Referendum Three,
Ottawa will eventually react, just you wait and wait and see.

And provincial autonomy they say, is not the way to go,
Rich provinces should pay poor provinces a lot more dough,
But we can’t touch the constitution because Mulroney tried,
That plus the GST and his Party went away and died.

What does it take For us to Change?

By

James Bredin

No proportional representation has been allowed,
By that Ottawa political pompous crowd so proud,
No questions and no answers to or from any appointee,
Media has us so well trained that we concur and agree.

Those headed for High Court or the Senate can’t be asked
Questions or voted in or out so their secrets remain intact,
And Chretien’s notwithstanding clause has never been used,
Regardless of biased decisions imposed and why we’re confused.

They run the country by order in council most of the year,
When parliament is not sitting, but so very sincere,
Tin pot dictators at the UN would certainly understand,
How it’s then hidden in the Access Act at their command.

And equalization will remain in the organization,
They stopped the Adscam but not this Quebec ransom donation,
Politicians do not act; they react only if votes count,
And stash our tax money in a secret foundation account.

A huge bureaucratic bilingual organization rules,
You, you unilingual eunuch so docile and so cool,
No recall, referendums or term limits for you,
As you line up to vote and they never say adieu.

Change the System Soon

By

James Bredin

When equalization is not equal but a power scheme,
Designed and maintained to ensure their continuous regime,
Dreamt up in Ottawa to ensure submissive folks just like you,
Who vote on cue, don’t get what you’re due and don’t have a clue.

Because the propaganda of their puppet press is out front,
With constant blitzkrieg to hide their every money laundering stunt,
Liberal-friendly editors with hidden vested interests,
As they suggest us pawns of the puppeteers never protest.

Because the system itself needs to be changed and rearranged,
Never voted for your prime minister and think this is not strange,
And without term limits, many of them stay their whole lives,
Manipulating everything to ensure their system survives.

Your MP only represents his Party – not you,
There are no free votes in parliament so your needs are taboo,
Without an elected Senate referendums or recall,
And you can’t ask questions so don’t even bother to call.

A society of sheep being led to the slaughter house,
And while enroute you can vote but do it quiet as a mouse,
And don’t even think bad thoughts because the system is blessed,
You are not allowed to change anything or even protest.

As the Adscam is told about corruption wall to wall,
With what looks like a firewall to protect Chretien and Paul,
Moving money in envelopes without a paper trail,
Just like the Mafia except many of them are in jail.

Did I mention money hidden in friendly foundations?
No one knows the numbers nor do they make explanations,
So an election alone will not change this system of abuse,
Change the Constitution now; we don’t need another excuse.

Charge the Bastille

By

James Bredin

Check the multiculturalism and bilingualism lot,
Then add unequal equalization and what have you got?
An Ottawa nightmare majority turned minority,
In a paralyzed parliament demanding seniority.

:roll:

A sign of the times that maybe we’re all completely mad,
Accept money laundering Liberals who say they’re not bad,
And maybe at the next election we’ll give them another chance,
To amend their criminal ways so once more they do a dance.

8)

Or maybe it’s just me and I need another drink and soon,
They seem to want an election maybe this coming June,
Should I volunteer to carry those suitcases full of money?
I hear they are very heavy so this is not funny.

:x

And in Quebec they’re so mad they’ll have Referendum Three,
Maybe separate from Canada and that means you and me,
Just because of Adscam but not that equalization dough,
Which is many billions and which is neither equal nor low.



But don’t dare to change Canada or the Constitution,
Tax and spend on Kyoto and say it’s all for pollution,
Send soldiers and more millions to Africa for those who are ill,
If this was France, people would have long ago charged the Bastille.

Criminal Conspiracy Curse

By

James Bredin



Do you really care whether your government is up or down?
Is it a corrupt dictatorship that should not be around?
Moving your money in suitcases, and giving it to their friends,
Many of whom already drive in Mercedes Benz.

Canadian loyalist subjects keep their place in line,
Proudly, politely and patiently, they do it all the time,
While politicians divert money and leave no paper trail,
Their firewalls are in fashion and there’s no cheque in the mail.

And you must understand, they say; this is for your own good,
As they tax and spend and travel the world and you wish you could,
Are we destined to disintegrate because we cannot change?
Stuck deep in their status quo that we cannot rearrange.

What happens when a government is rotten at the top?
Deny suitcases full of money and say that they are not,
While Adscam reveals that taxpayers’ money laundering scheme,
And they pump their propaganda with their friendly media team.

Delay election calls because some Conservatives are sick,
Make sure they’re in hospital and can’t vote and that’s the trick,
While in Quebec they wonder if separation could be worse,
Than this criminal conspiracy and awful Ottawa curse.

And We Are so Proud

By

James Bredin

Are Canadian voters a true trustworthy team?
Elected Liberals after scandals before as we have seen,
After Shawinigate and HRDC and much more,
So shady Adscam type conspiracies have happened before.

After the Krever and Somalia Inquiries too,
Voted back in by Canadians who didn’t have a clue,
Enormous propaganda onslaught by their media friends,
So that the puppet press and politicians meet their own ends.

By Liberal-friendly editors with similar concerns,
Vested interests that no one in the public can discern,
A blitzkrieg of lies and innuendos behind a firewall,
For you without referendums, term limits or recall.

And Adscam cases full of cash are heavy to lug about,
But they could convince anyone especially those in doubt,
Plus a paralyzed parliament that seems to be dead,
Dictatorships don’t need parliament, it’s long been said.

Parliament for the prime minister is only an annoyance,
Could cut into his UN agenda and flamboyance,
And those in the Sudan don’t want soldiers but send the money,
Millions to buy guns and ammunition which isn’t funny.

And who appointed the Governor General to her place?
No questions allowed and no answers given and in your face,
The same guy who appoints senators and the Supreme Court crowd,
Still no questions allowed nor answers given and we’re so proud.

The Divine Right of Kings

By

James Bredin

Declare that the democratic deficit is such a bad thing,
Visit all tin pot dictators who act as though they’re king,
Canadian vote in parliament was a technicality,
Divine right of kings covers that eventuality.

The Adscam revelations show the Liberals are bent,
Money laundering cases full of cash that they sent,
To special friends provided they in turn kicked some of it back,
Though they still deny all this or that they are a crooked pack.

With the divine right of kings there’s no need for an election,
And parliament doesn’t count and they’re the only selection,
Make even Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe look good,
Elections bought with bribes and money they understood.

Hang onto power by the tips of their fingers and toes,
Spend and give our money like water as Niagara Falls flows,
And we thought Chretien was bad and we could never get worse,
What did we do to deserve these lounge Liberals’ curse?

He still wants to send money and soldiers to Sudan,
They don’t want soldiers but send the money as soon as you can,
For more guns and ammunition and a Swiss bank account,
And just like the Liberals no one can check that amount.

And another national unity crisis is on the way,
Pushed and caused by Liberal corruption they say,
They prefer Quebec City to Ottawa they reveal,
From whom they would at least get an honest deal.

Erect a guillotine where they can see it on Parliament Hill,
To remind them that maybe we the people should rule still,
Impeach the last two prime ministers and put them in jail,
Ban their lies and propaganda in every detail.
