Influence The Appointed Senate

How do we influence the Canadian Senate appointees?
They are not elected so live an aristocrat life of ease,
So isolated, they may not have heard of death-with-dignity,
Should we write them, phone them, e-mail them or just watch them on TV?

Ontario Taxes... May 30th,2013

I’m not in favor of my taxes going up and up and up,
Politicians say “Revenue tools” and its going to be rough,
Five hundred million a year added to our taxes is sick,
How is it possible that politicians can be so thick?

The Pain Of Death... May 29th,20`3

Death itself is bad enough but the pain that goes with it, can be worse,
Therefore death-without-dignity can be a painful awful curse,
Of course you don’t know because it will never happen to you,

Canadian Referendums... May 27th,2013

We cannot decide when or where or how we would like to die,
Caught in the vice grip of politicians and no one knows why,
If Oregon and Washington have DWD, why can’t we?
Caught in our own historical stupid decisions for you and me.

Media Moguls And Their Friends... July 8th,2013

When the elite media moguls help their elite friends,
And announce in their pages about the latest trends,
And as an observer you can watch their buildings go up to the sky,
No binding referendums for you and you’re never told why.

There Till They Are Seventy Five

We have a large group of appointees with huge entitlements,
In a real Red Chamber in an Ottawa establishment,
Built-in Canadian aristocrats; as if we needed them
Can’t know or critize their entitlements so therefore can’t condemn.

Stephen... July 9th,2013

Stephen: here’s some good advice that you will probably disregard,
Because this is radical stuff you can use as your flash card,
That you may need before these ongoing scandals are finished,
Because I don’t think they can be written off or diminished.

The Scarborough General Hospital

The Scarborough General Hospital saved my life at least three times,
The doctors, the nurses and the Ontario Health Care worked fine,
But then I saw pages and pages of reasons they wanted to change,
If it worked fine for me and did for years so why rearrange?

Transparancy... July 13th,2013

Transparancy and accountability are really sparse,
Infact politicians tend to treat these issues as a farce,
And unless its mentioned in the papers, we will never know,
They’re busy at the moment, traveling and going to and fro.
