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.
