I got a link to this song a week ago, but didn't post it. I'm glad I held off, because now there's a video to go along with it. It's part of the Avaaz.org "Stop Harper - Save the Planet" campaign. It's a protest song by a handful of Canadian music artists. The video is not fantastic or anything, it's lacking the big group-sing quality of more famous protest song videos. The song, however, is awesome for 3 things.
1. The Barenaked Ladies-esque lyric: "We can change things for the better/not just dress it up with a sweater."
2. The not-at-all subtle bit they did at 2:38 a la Psycho (watch and see!)
3. Bagpipes! How Canadian to have bagpipes in a protest song!
