Bill C-31 Song

The second video in the "Dare Your Face" series. Brendan and Adrian go to the doctor's office to perform a new song inspired by the recent cuts to refugee health care in Canada.

We walk the earth in the shells of our bodies, they respond to our needs and desires
I can make my feet move, force my finger to wiggle I can lower my voice or go higher
But I don't diagnose, I cant do my own surgery, couldn't fight a disease with my hands
there's not a self made man in a hospital bed, just caregivers, family,  and friends

sure as every crook needs a plan
every kid needs a shot
just as every thief needs his hands
everyone needs their heart

we are each to our own inside of our minds, we don't live the same life every day
Our borders are born and the privilege is formed on the things that we do and we say 
but our bodies aren't planets, each to their own orbits, we crash and we land and crush
And in the same way we heal, it's the same way we hurt, it's body on body, the touch

sure as every crook needs a plan
every kid needs a shot
just as every thief needs his hands
everyone needs their heart
everyone needs their heart


the same way we hurt is the same way we heal
the same way we hurt is the same way we heal
it's body on body, the touch
it's body on body, the touch

just as every thief needs his hands
everyone needs their heart

SO MUCH LOVE

There are a lot of committed folks doing tons of work around this and several other attacks on migrant people.

Some doctors in Toronto have refused to acknowledge these healthcare cuts in what they call an act of civil obedience in the sense that they are accountable to the community.

Thanks for the solidarity and energy.

Peace.

I find it horrible that this occurs. If someone has the luck, determination, and sacrifice to get themselves out of their country, across the ocean, and up here to ours, I think they deserve a welcome better than what they did so much to leave behind.

Finally something that gives me hope for our country! This is awesome
