Why is it only to the Rich
and the tourists
to gain the right to see
our wonderful galleries?
Why is it to us,
proud working Canadians,
to sit on our asses and tell
our wives to shut up?
We still celebrate the day
we became free.
We celebrate democracy
by drinking the same shit
that killed numerous lives
on the roads of this beautiful country.
We celebrate the day
we destroyed the lives of hundreds
of native Americans.
Their History has been erased
by the taxes we pay every day.
But there is still hockey night
to keep us proud of who
we are and how we relate
to the colours of this flag,
Not to the harm it represents
or the evil it confines.
