land you love
what have we lost, poisoned, or crushed?
what highest hopes were stolen from us?
what holy rolling hills were cut into dust?
what voices were stifled, silenced, scared and carried off?
do you think we can hide? (no)
put your head in the sand? (no)
do you think we can ride it out?
well some of us can’t
who’s after taking our wages and our trust?
our women forsaken, forgotten, and lost
our holy rolling hills, our waters, our crops
are hid in their bills, pushed through and hushed up and sold off like pawns
do they think they can hide them? (no)
keep our heads in the sand? (no)
do they think they can ride it out for another one?
well we say they can’t
there is a time (oh)
when a change has to come (oh)
for you to speak your mind (oh)
for you to fight for the land you love
when i was a child, i sang the anthem with pride
it stood for justice, peace, and human rights
it stood for the holy rolling hills and a home for all walks of life
and it must again, for my children, and theirs
do you think they can hide? (no)
put their heads in the sand? no
you think they can ride it out?
well some of em can’t
no now is the time (oh)
when a change has to come (oh)
for you to draw a line (oh)
and to fight for the land you love

Sharing this again in 2022. We must continue to vote and make Canada the land you love.
For the land we love. that says it all. Thank you for thinking (playing!) so positively and creatively for what has been crushing our hearts.
This is the most Canadian protest against government corruption I have seen. With a guitar, friends, and good intentions.
Americans and Britain used to do the same thing
"Some of the worst things imaginable were done with the best intentions, Billy" -Dr. Alan Grant (2001)
This is beyond brilliant and helps restore my faith in OUR Canada. A million heartfelt thanks. This should be our new anthem. :)
I'm right with you from the US of A. Canada was always an example that we could aspire too, and the country can rise once again to be a model for the whole world. Best of luck to all of you Canucks, I see so much passion from the left this election that I'm sure you can carry the day if you all pull together.
Or member sharing this with friends and feeling relieved and proud. Then years later, we are in worse situation with Trudeau and his cronies. The eco y is in disaster. Crime is worse than ever snd the drug crisis is hitting every community small and large. We need this song again so we can have major changes in our government.
Listening to this song in the States nowadays and finding it applies to us as well. Hope we can follow in Canada's footsteps in our upcoming elections.
Vote on, Canada. US progressives are with you.
I remember listening to this the night of the election, right after hearing the concession speech from Harper, and just feeling a profound calm ♥Such a beautiful song.
I'm campaigning my ass off for Bernie Sanders so we can make America Canada Again.
Love you guys. keep on rocking
People in the United States should already be listening to this song.. Harper is nowhere near as scary as Trump is. Say what you want but we're lucky to have Trudeau.
Lmfao
Care to retract that statement now?
Trump was an asshole,Trudeau destroyed our nation.
this just captures my heart! I love the song and above all its message and the great singers who inspire us all! enough of harper, I fully agree!!!
I love this song so much. Share it everyone and everyone make sure you don't just say you are going to vote, but let's bring a change to Canada.
+MrNewff I hear you brother . I'm keeping a daily watch on www.threehundredeight.com/ It is very clear that Harper and his 'associates' are corrupt , unintelligent , anti-science, anti-basic human rights, and believe THEY believe they rule and dictate our lives, destiny , freedoms , resources, intellect , education etc.
In 1923 Hemp and thence Cannabis was unethically, illegally, and with ZERO scientific fact, was criminalized by the Canadian government because of the influence of very wealthy industrialists. www.cbc.ca/news/health/marijuana-was-criminalized-in-1923-but-why-1.2630436 .
Millions of lives have been lost because of this unparalleled demonization by the wealthy and with compliance by a subservient populace for 9 decades and counting.
I am alive today and want to continue living, ONLY because of medical grade cannabis. Yet no doctor in 37 years of suffering disease --- had the fucking stones to tell me it was treatment option.
Beautiful
Hey gang please send your love and comments to Phil Maloney in the comments section at : vimeo.com/140990026 .. I found this video mentioned on the cbc website and tracked it down to vimeo. I was not able to find it here on youtube, so I used my account to echo this amazing and so relevant song, as it brought tears to my eyes every time I listened to it. I had no idea there would be such a response on my insignificant channel. Full credit to the creators has been given in the 'show more' section. Vote Harper Out . The world has enough corruption. Thank you.
Thanks for doing that! Not just my favourite song of the anti-Harper songs, my favourite song, just in general! Now that the election has come and gone I couldn't find it again. I was sad.
S'opposant à la réélection du Premier ministre du Canada Stephen Harper, dont les précédents mandats furent marqués par l'affairisme et la corruption, deux combos folk du pays, Hey Rosetta! (à gauche) & Yukon Blonde (à droite), font campagne en chanson (Land You Love, 05/10) à l'occasion de l'élection fédérale du 19/10 - et, si l'on se gardera de toute ingérence, on saluera, dans une période où peu s'engagent, la prise de position des deux groupes, et les airs sautillants de cet hymne politique.
If Harper is voted in again, I am so out.
+kasnitch +Elizabeth Tuck
Where are you planning to go?
seriously, I was embarrassed he was elected last time and I'm not convinced enough has changed to stop it again.... But at the same time I don't know where else is better as much as I dislike the current Canadian government moving below the 49th seems a bit hypocritical.
Sadly I'm relatively ignorant of other alternatives.
Actually I'm going to Estonia haha. There are lots of places in the EU which would be a much better fit (Not Greece or Ukraine [technically not in the EU I know]) but it's getting to the point where I think it's worth it to leave.
+alex lyon If I had the wherewithal to leave this country .. I would also move to somewhere in the EU .
this is amazing. i love what these guys did. i'd love to get the chords and be able to sing this myself.
+Adam Wilson Verse: D-A-C#min-Fmin-E
Chorus: D-A-E-A.
Wow. This is amazing
Brilliant.
I love this song 🎶
Awesome!
LOVE IT....!!
I love this song
this song is the best
Though the message I don't fully agree with, I do enjoy the song itself despite the message and meaning behind it.
You don't agree with the message about fighting for what you believe in and making Canada a better country? That's a bizarre point of view.
+Andrew Champion the message behind the video was essentially "anti-Harper" or at least this is how I interpret the lyrics. I didn't agree with the political message, but I still enjoyed the song.
+Brett Sinclair its anti-harper because he and his cons have tried to destroy everything that is Canadian or was. he wanted us to bevamerica 2.0 and about 70% of the country had enough of it.
+Andrew Champion
Well said.
@@Jethromcsheepherder Trudeau is just as bad. And where is this transparency he talked so highly of whenever he's asked a question it's "um er we are doing everything in the best interest of canadians" was getting bombardier out of bankruptcy helping (just so they could fire many and then give bonus' to the higher ups that bankrupted them) or how about giving thirty million to four welcomed back extremests or how about giving money and weopons of war to Saudi Arabia an openly anti gay country that just gave women the right to drive in the last year and is yet head of the UN human rights council. So really my question is Trudeau really better than Harper or are the both two sides of the same coin? If you fully agree with one party and will defend it's leader then the government brainwashing really must have worked man
And now we have a whole new set of problems.
Hey, great song, don't you think?
Love this song! Will radio play it? Can we all make the request at our local radio stations?
+Alan Rodriguez Do they support Harper? I doubt it. I actually sent this off to the local radio last night, but never caught any play of it yet today. They are Harper supporters though, so I doubt it will get play around here, sadly. Such a great song!
+may causebleeding I saw your post and emailed a high q audio version of this song and its link of origin to about 40 radio stations yesterday.
no response so far, not even from 10 university radio stations. do the NEO-Cons have all the media in their pocket ?
+kasnitch probably. i honestly wouldn't doubt that. here, in AB, we are only getting used to NDP again after a 40yr reign for the Cons. So its not surprising, but I am seeing NO Con signs in this area, just Libs and NDP...so we'll see what comes.
Trudeau takes it!
Incredible that this has been my anthem for 2 years but we hokd completely opposite beliefs and when I talk about loving my country I'm called a fascist freedumby. It's telling
We did it! :)
What's changed since then?
This on iTunes or Bandcamp or anything? Want to purchase it.
6 conservative visitors with no taste of music.
I have a taste in music my favorite part is how this song can be sung just as much about Trudeau. Who is in no way better than Harper was
Where can I buy this song?
Here in 2021. Just wondering what these two bands are thinking of their progressive government now. Genuinely curious.
It happened, go trudeau
How is Trudeau working out for you? Just sayin'
great!
It’s much better than Herr Harper.
