Environment Assessment Act

Tune: Mademoiselle from Armentiers

 

The Environment Assessment Act Review is coming soon

Stephen Harper sings the corporations’ tune

Mining companies’ short-term gain

Leaves the land with long-term pain

Sick caribou, and silent loon.

 

We know that mines leave toxic waste, that’s nothing new

That’s why we need a strong environmental review

It can’t be left to happenstance

Our rivers wouldn’t stand a chance

The public needs to know – that’s me and you!

 

But nobody’s heard about this, they’re not telling us

It isn’t democratic, and it sure ain’t just

To protect the waters and the land

We have to take a stronger stand

Rise up and make an awful fuss!

 

We sing: O Canada, we stand on guard for thee

That means the lands and waters in the whole country

It’s not just Northern peoples’ fight

Harper has to do what’s right

And make it clear for all to see.

 

The Environment Assessment Act Review is coming soon

Stephen Harper sings the corporations’ tune

Mining companies’ short-term gain

Leaves the land with long-term pain –

Sick caribou, and silent loon.
