This has always been one of the favourite songs I have written. It was inspired midway through the reign of Mike Harris as Premier of Ontario when I realized the common sense revolution didn't have a lot of common sense. It was just a front for the rich to get richer and an opportunity for politicians to destroy the social and educational services that made Ontario such a caring and compassionate place for people from all socio-economic backgrounds.
Now seemed like an appropriate time to bring it back.
