"We would like to extend a special invitation to #thetragicallyhip to visit Unist'ot'en Camp who are an actual Indigenous Frontline. We've been fighting Oil and Frack Pipelines for 7 years now. Freda Huson is the spokesperson for the Unist'ot'en People. Her and her husband Toghestiy have now been living on the frontline for 6 years. They've been stopping pipeline surveyors and kicking out helicopter crews who were working for the unwanted pipelines. Please share this widely to your networks."
"He called on the prime minister to address Canada's historical
mistreatment of its Indigenous people and to "get 'er done." He also
asked the audience to hold Trudeau to account and commit to
acknowledging and fixing the problems.
"He's going to take us
where we need to go. And we've gotta be a country that's going to take
us 100 years to figure out what the hell went on up there. But it isn't
cool and everybody knows that. It's really, really bad. We're gonna
figure it out.""
"We're in good hands, folks, real good hands," Downie told the live
audience, as cameras cut to Trudeau who was in attendance. "He cares
about the people way up North, that we were trained our entire lives to
ignore, trained our entire lives to hear not a word of what's going on
up there.
"And what's going on up there ain't good. It's maybe
worse than it's ever been ... (but) we're going to get it fixed and we
got the guy to do it, to start, to help.'' ---------------------------------------------------------
Ahead by a Century
First thing we'd climb a tree and maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently and listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday casting a golden light
No dress rehearsal, this is our life
And that's where the hornet stung me
And I had a feverish dream
With revenge and doubt
Tonight we smoke them out
You are ahead by a century (this is our life)
You are ahead by a century (this is our life)
You are ahead by a century
Stare in the morning shroud and then the day began
I tilted your cloud, you tilted my hand
Rain falls in real time and rain fell through the night
No dress rehearsal, this is our life
But that's when the hornet stung me
And I had a serious dream
With revenge and doubt
Tonight we smoke them out
You are ahead by a century (this is our life)
You are ahead by a century (this is our life)
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century (this is our life)
You are ahead by a century (this is our life)
You are ahead by a century
I left your house this morning,
'Bout a quarter after nine.
Coulda been the Willie Nelson,
Coulda been the wine
When I left your house this morning,
It was a little after nine
It was in Bobcaygeon, I saw the constellations
Reveal themselves, one star at time
Drove back to town this morning,
With working on my mind
I thought of maybe quittin',
Thought of leavin' it behind
Went back to bed this morning
And as I'm pullin' down the blind,
Yeah, the sky was dull and hypothetical
And fallin' one cloud at a time
That night in Toronto,
With its checkerboard floors
Riding on horseback,
And keeping order restored,
Til The Men They Couldn't Hang,
Stepped to the mic and sang,
And their voices rang with that Aryan twang
I got to your house this morning,
Just a little after nine
In the middle of that riot,
Couldn't get you off my mind
So, I'm at your house this morning,
Just a little after nine
'Cause, it was in Bobcaygeon
Where I saw the constellations reveal themselves
