Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Male)
Flip the calendar, October seventeen,
Volume hundred-sixty, issue forty-two on the scene,
Part One drops weekly like a tide that's steady,
Four commissions checking in, paperwork ready.

(Female)
First the Revenue Agency, counting what we owe,
Keeping track of ledgers, letting taxpayers know,
Then the Trade Tribunal, watching imports flow,
Deciding if the dumping's hurting business below.

[Chorus]
Gazette's the record, open for the eye,
Part One's the weekly, Part Two's the reply,
Rules get written, then they're put in play,
Canada's logbook, every single day.

[Verse 2]
(Male)
CRTC's next up, broadcast and the lines,
Telecom and TV, setting up the signs,
Licenses and hearings, who can air what show,
Keeping the frequencies organized just so.

(Female)
Public Service Commission, hiring for the crown,
Making sure the merit principle stays sound,
Fair and open staffing, no thumb on the scale,
That's the quiet engine behind the public trail.

[Chorus]
Gazette's the record, open for the eye,
Part One's the weekly, Part Two's the reply,
Rules get written, then they're put in play,
Canada's logbook, every single day.

[Verse 3]
(Male)
Government notices, Privy Council speaks,
Orders-in-council, the administrative peaks,
Appointments and decisions that the cabinet signs,
Published for the record between the dotted lines.

(Female)
Now slide to Part Two, October seventh date,
Volume hundred-fifty-nine, number twenty, fresh and straight,
This one's for finished rules, the ones already passed,
Regulations registered, official and cast.

[Bridge]
(Both)
Part One's the proposal, the draft before the deed,
Part Two's the moment when the law's agreed,
One whispers "maybe," one stamps it "it's true,"
Two halves of a system built to show you through.

[Verse 4]
(Male)
So why should you care about a document this dry?
(Female)
'Cause rules on trade and airwaves shape the reason why
Your phone bill, your imports, your tax forms arrive,
Governed by the pages where the policies thrive.

[Verse 5]
(Male)
Flip further back, you'll find a hundred years of print,
Every amendment, every regulatory hint,
Wars and reforms, all logged in black and white,
A paper trail that guides us through the policy night.

(Female)
Historians and lawyers both rely on this same page,
A living archive turning with each legislative stage,
From horse-and-buggy statutes to the digital domain,
The Gazette keeps rolling on through sunshine and through rain.

[Chorus]
Gazette's the record, open for the eye,
Part One's the weekly, Part Two's the reply,
Rules get written, then they're put in play,
Canada's logbook, every single day.

[Outro]
(Both, softly)
Forty-two and twenty, two numbers, one week,
Read between the headers, that's the story we seek.
