We’re in a funny place in this election campaign,
right now,
We've got a Prime Minister who shut down Parliament twice,
and Canadians kinda shrugged.
We got a Parliament, we got a Prime Minister
that is found in contempt of Parliament; it's never
happened before
in the history of our country, and people kinda say: “so what.”
We got a Prime Minister who tried to shut
down the long-form census
and people thought that's crazy but kinda
“so what,”
and then we have a Prime Minister who just
went out and smeared a member of his own Caucus,
tried to destroy her public reputation,
people say kinda said,
“so what,”
and we've got a Prime Minister who's got a
convicted
criminal
who was his chief of staff
convicted for five times of fraud
and people kinda say
so what
and then we've got a Prime Minister who's
got right now in his election campaign
four people accused of
election fraud running his current campaign.
and people say
so what
and then you start to keep
hearing that
and then we've got a Prime Minister
who allows only five questions to the press,
the press are following him around
five questions and if you ask six? He walks,
away, and people say
“so what,”
and then we got a situation where at Gulph
university the other day
students signed up for two hours,
some of them voting for the first time in their lives
to vote
and a Conservative operative tried to shut
it down stop it and some smart Conservative
lawyer downtown tried to write a letter to get
seven hundred votes
by Canadian students disallowed in a federal
election in Canada
and people say so what just all political
games who cares
and I kept hearing that refrain from Bruce Springsteen.
Rise up!
Rise up!
Rise up Canada!
Rise up
Rise up!
why do we have to put up with this?
Rise up!
Rise up!
Rise up!
This goes beyond partisan politics
This goes beyond the Liberal Party this is
about our country this is about our democracy!
Rise up!
We have got to fight here,
we have got to stand and fight.
This is not about me, this is not about the
Liberal Party, this is about the kind of democracy
we hand to this child, this child, and this child.
we got a rise up, we gotta stand
we gotta fight and we gotta win. This is not about
the Liberal Party of Canada
this is about the country you love, so rise up!
