Anthem For The NDP

We can be kind, we can be blind, we are behind....
Still, we can find the reasons why were are all going out of our minds.
We can be snide, we can divide, we run and hide when we're denied all of our rights, we should provide for all humankind.
It's time to act! Let's make a pact! Plan our attack! Lay down the smack upon our past, and do it fast!
Get up! Go vote NDP!
Stand! Demand NDP!
Shout out loud "NDP"!
Let's put this puzzle together, together! NDP!
We can be fed, we can be led, so it is said.
But we need bread for every head, otherwise all humanity's bled.
We can be sheared. We can be feared. We can be weird. We can be cheered. We can shout out...
"We've had it up to here!"
Time to get tough! Stop playing rough! Let's show our stuff, and call their bluff! Don't take no guff!
We've had enough!
Get up! Go vote NDP!
Stand! Demand NDP!
Shout out loud, "NDP"!
Let's put this puzzle together, together! NDP!
We'll carry on, and sing this song evermore, to prevent the war to end all wars.
For peace and love, for everyone!
For the children of our nation!
Time to evolve! Get problems solved! Come to our halls and hear our calls! Sing through these walls!
We shall not fall!
Get up! Go vote NDP!
Stand! Demand NDP!
Shout out loud, "NDP"!
Let's put this puzzle together, together! NDP!

GET OUT AND VOTE CANADA!

Rest in Peace Jack! This video wouldn't have been made had it not been inspired by your truly great leadership! Canada lost its greatest federal politician today!

[GeoffreyTheGiant]

If you're in Ottawa this Friday night come out to the Live Lounge (128 1/2 York Street) and see me give a rare solo performance with lots of new material! Tickets are $8, if you tell the doorman you're there to see me play you'll get a free copy of my newest CD AND my last one! One Giant fan raves "Holy shit what a deal!" Hope to see you there!

I think this is a fantastic video -- very much in the spirit of the New Democratic Party and for all Canadians. I am very much looking forward to a major shift in our politics on May 2, which I've dreamed about and worked for for 40 years.

Hope conquers fear...

[GeoffreyTheGiant]

@CanadianGadfly AMEN brother! Let's hope the hard work finally pays off tomorrow! Thanks for your positive comments! Go Canada Go!

@Madrock20 And that surplus will come from proper tax reforms. No more bailouts and big tax breaks for big corporations - and tough penalties for corporations who negligently pollute our fair and pure land. No more corporate CEO's receiving government money to pay for their annual multi-million dollar bonuses or "golden parachute" retirement pensions. It's time for change Madrock20. Don't fear it, embrace it!

[GeoffreyTheGiant]

@ Madrock20 3) I'd rather have a collection of young rookie idealists in parliament working together with other parties than a crooked old tyrant and a bunch of similarly crooked automaton minions creating a greater rift and division in our land while they slowly work towards shutting down our democracy. BTW check ndp.ca for their costing document - they plan to run a surplus each year while in office if given the mandate to govern.

For the first time in 17 years, my NDP vote seems like it will actually matter. I urge the NDP to push for a form of proportional representation

[SaniyaCanada]

Let's make it the NDP Election Song for 2011!!  LOVE it!!

[evilbarbie11]

i find this video amazing. Especially because my dad ran for the north battleford, saskatchewan riding.

@GJGJ654 Soyons honnête si il avait fallu voté pour un parti j'aurais voté pour les Libéraux parce que je suis une personne libéral. Par contre comme plusieurs québecois jsuis écoeuré, dégouté par les systèmes politiques canadiens actuels. Mon vote a été au NPD parce que c'est un vent nouveau, destruction des castes anciens recontruire à neuf avec Layton qui a su charmer le publique. Maintenant on s'assis et on regarde, on espère et on supporte c'est quatre ans d'harper majoritaire.

[GJGJ654]

it's a dark day in the history of quebec, unfortunately, people didn't vote for the quality of their deputy, but for Jack Layton, here in quebec most of our candidates don't deserve to be elected. They don't have enouf experiences, they are not worthy, in 4 years they will be all out except Thomas Mulcair. i can't beleave all those great deputy from the Bloc, liberals even conservatives who have lost agains these morons.

[chanceturcotte]

Go conservatives (notice the small "c", I'm not entirely endorsing the Conservative Party but they're the best of the mainline parties we have)!

[chanceturcotte]

2:59 Improper placement of lyrics.  "We can be snide, we can divide" should have been there.

[hillcon45]

I told you people where voting NDP in Quebec....... Why didn't you CANADA?

[hillcon45]

Je viens de Québec. Ici tout le monde vote NPD/NDP. SVP attravers le Canada votez NPD/NDP aussi. Personne qui est sain d'esprit veut harper. Rappellez vous que le coucher de soleil est orange, le ciel qui annonce des jours nouveaux est orange. VOTEZ NPD/NDP

[hillcon45]

I am from Quebec city. EVERY ONE VOTES NPD/NDP Please across Canada do so too. Nobody in their sane mind wants harper. Voting NPD/NDP isn't a lost vote, not with the orange wave. Remember the sunset is orange, the sky over new days is orange. VOTE NPD/NDP
