Idle No More.. We come in Peace

Four women who said
We are Idle No More
Awakened the whole world
Simply knocking on the door

We're very scared mothers
Childrens' lives are at stake
Canada will be poisoned
Every river, stream and lake

Come outside and see
Take a really long look
This beauty before you
Will be in a history book

There's no environment protection
The government took that away
It also broke Treaties
That weren't just for display

We're First Nation ladies
Proud of who we are
We forever stand united
Even when distanced from afar

We love our country
As probably you do yours
We are all indigenous
Connected water, shore to shores

The world's in danger
Our lands from here to there
Affects the global future
For our grandchildren to share

To all media people
Start reporting the harsh truth
Outside the lines, perhaps
A job for a real sleuth
 
To all Canadian people
We call you to lead
To all government officials
We will see you concede

Four women once said
We are Idle No More
Began a millions movement
Peacefully knocking at the door

#Danzig Shooting: "Something has to be done - Something has to change!"

You hear this sentiment... this wish.. this hope everywhere from everybody throughout Canada but particularly now with the tragedy that unfolded on Danzig Street in Scarborough, Ontario on Monday.

"Something has to change - something has to be done."

Something... something... something... what could possibly to done to immediately eradicate the threat and use of illegal hand guns, not only in Toronto, but anywhere in Canada.


"O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. "


We stand on guard for thee... We stand on guard for thee... We are the ones!

Is that not the change?! Is that not the "something that has to be done"?!

Our anthem tells us what must be done to protect our country, our citizens, our guests, our reputation. We as Canadians, each and every single individual must stand on guard for thee... others.

Illegal hand guns are a problem; that is becoming increasingly evident. Who knows more about that then the police, the government or any other authority enforcing laws meant to keep us - safe and, our country, safe... Canada... so it continues to be... True - North - Strong - Free.

Mayor of Toronto, do not patronize. "This" is not an "isolated incident".

25 people - 2 have died - It could have been 25. The "incident" could have so easily been described as massacre. It could happen again. It just might happen again.

The people who brought those guns. The people who shot those guns. The people who killed 2 and shot up so many others. They must be caught - but so should the "people" who knew these shooters even had the guns.

The "something"... the "something" that needs to change... the "something" that needs to be done.

That would be us.

We need to stand on guard for thee.

"O Canada" is not just an anthem - it is a pledge. We need to report to Crime Stoppers our knowledge who carries and whom threatens to use illegal handguns. If "we" do what "we" are supposed to... "Stand on Guard" they cannot.


Do that today. Stand on guard for your family, your neighbours, your communities and your country.

Call Crime Stoppers - 1.800.222.8477 (TIPS) - Report the illegal handgun(s) and save a life - save many lives.

I personally thank you... I thank you very, very much.
