A star-studded roster of Canadian musicians including K-OS, Sarah Harmer and Hawksley Workman have banded together to produce a song to mobilize Canadians to vote against Stephen Harper.
The song, entitled “You Have a Choice,” is sponsored by Avaaz Canada, a democracy advocacy group.
In a news release, the group's executive director said the song aims to push for action on climate change, and that means voting against the Conservatives.
“Under the Conservative government our country is actively wrecking international progress on climate change,” Ricken Patel said in the release.
“This song is an eloquent reminder that Canada doesn't have to be this way – it's our choice.”
The song, produced by K-OS, also features Ed Robertson of the Barenaked Ladies, Ben Kowalewicz of Billy Talent and Jason Collett of Broken Social Scene.
The single will be released to radio stations across the country, and is available for download at avaaz.ca.
