about

This is Canadian rebel music! Our democracy and environmental protections are being eroded away by the current regime. First were the fraudulent elections in 2011, the two prorogations of Parliament, the Omnibus Bill C-38 which dismantles many hard-earned environmental legislations & democratic rights, the libelling of those who oppose their environmental polices as "terrorists", and the attempt to push through the Enbridge Pipeline. The latter is a disaster waiting to happen and Enbridge has a bad history of oil spills. Despite broad-based opposition, Harper and Enbridge are doing what they can to force this 1,170 km pipeline from the Alberta Tarsands to Kitimat, BC. We will not allow it to happen. I have anger but not hatred for Stephen Harper and this illegitimate Government, I believe in Love but I will stand for what is right. For the Earth, for First Nations and for Democracy.

lyrics

Let me dispel a few myths about this land that we call home,
That it's all good here that democracy is still strong
'cause there's this man with his devil blue eyes
who will use his power and clout to demonize
Those who stand for Nature and the First People's of this Land

I'm a Stubborn Man
Because I Believe Love Will Conquer Hate
Oh but Let's Not Wait!

Profits over People is never right,
Though they say all boats are lifted by the tide
Some get richer while the others struggle just to stay alive
And Native Rights get pushed to the sidelines
All Babylon wants is to build prisons and pipelines
We'll break through their control, We see through their lies!

Peace, Love and Justice!

And you know deep within your heart and soul
That Love is the Answer, it's been said before
And to Live with Love as the Highest
Love as the Highest!

And I feel I must respond when I see the need
To make a stand for what is Right and what's Wrong
Because Life is Precious and Free
And needs to be Free from Harm
And Free to Thrive
Free to Get Along and Free to Love!
