Canadian Criminal Justice System





Canadian Criminal Justice System

By

James Bredin


Soft-on-crime appointed judges love publication bans,
Politically correct decisions to aid barbarians,
No names or gory details revealed so they’re home free,
And we the public, in the dark, are required to agree.

And like minded politicians say they all concur,
Its easy bail and short sentences that usually occur,
Even the names are forbidden for those under eighteen,
Though all the hidden details that could be obscene.

And who ever said that the public had a right to know?
Not in the Charter written by Chretien and Trudeau,
No property right either while democracy bereft,
Odious orthodoxies of their socialist far-out left.

Terrorist refugees on the incoming flights,
Each and every one of them claiming Charter Rights,
Thanks to the Charter imposed without a referendum,
And not signed by Quebec but this is no conundrum.

There is no doubt about it but judges should be elected,
Just to prove that they are not politically connected,
And the names of all accused should be in public domain,
No wishy washy soft-on-crime stuff to explain.
