(andPOP) - A bevy of Canadian musicians have banded together against Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative party on a song called "You Have a Choice."
The tune, sponsored by democracy advocacy group Avaaz Canada, is part of an online campaign urging voters to push for action on climate change through strategic voting at the Oct. 14 federal election.
“Under the Conservative government our country is actively wrecking international progress on climate change,” Avaaz's executive director, 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 was written and produced by K-OS and Ian LeFeuvre of indie band The Hundreds And Thousands. Among the artists who contributed to the track were the Barenaked Ladies' Ed Robertson, Billy Talent's Ben Kowalewicz, Sarah Harmer, Hawksley Workman, Three Days Grace's Adam Gontier, Broken Social Scene's Jason Collett and The Salads' Darren Dumas.
The song will be issued to radio stations across the country and is also available for download at the Avaaz Canada website
