Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Gazette landed August eighteen, twenty-twenty-six
Part One dated August fifteen, volume one-sixty, number thirty-three in the mix
Commissions lined up in the corridors of state
Four bodies publishing notices, let me enumerate

The Border Services Agency put their intentions on the page
The Trade Tribunal opened up a new adjudicative stage
The CRTC — broadcasting, telecoms, the whole array
And Yukon's Environmental Board had its own thing to say

[Chorus]
O Diário do Canadá, publicado toda semana
Regulamentos novos, ordens soberanas
Part One, Part Two, the official record stands
Impressão burocrática nas mãos do governo — understand

[Verse 2]
Part Two arrived a little earlier, August twelve
Volume one-fifty-nine, number sixteen pulled from the shelf
This is where the regulations land with binding weight
Statutory instruments — edicts from the federal state

The Gazette is not a newspaper, not gossip, not a blog
It's the formal proclamation, the official catalog
A vellichor of governance — that beautiful word means
The strange nostalgia for a place whose purpose no one gleans

Until you need the record of exactly what was signed
Then you scan the columns carefully, methodical and blind

[Chorus]
O Diário do Canadá, publicado toda semana
Regulamentos novos, ordens soberanas
Part One, Part Two, the official record stands
Impressão burocrática nas mãos do governo — understand

[Verse 3]
The digital edition lives at gazette dot gc dot ca
But paper copies still get filed and never thrown away
Since eighteen sixty-seven it has held the nation's thread
Every order-in-council, every rule the Cabinet said

Bilingual columns, English left and French upon the right
Two official languages sharing every statutory bite
Democracy's fine print is not glamorous or loud
But somewhere in that gray text every citizen is vowed

[Bridge]
Part One carries notices — proposed, not yet in force
Part Two carries regulations already locked on course
The difference matters, beginner, keep the two apart
Proposed versus enacted — that's the beating clerical heart

Four commissions, two volumes, one week, one date
The apparatus of the nation publishing its freight
Sobriamente, sem drama — just the dry official tone
Every rule that governs us printed out in monotone

[Outro]
August eighteen, twenty-twenty-six — write it down
The Gazette arrived on schedule in this bureaucratic town
Comissões e regulamentos, volume e número
The Canadian record, steady, formal, sempre verdadeiro

[Chorus]
O Diário do Canadá, publicado toda semana
Regulamentos novos, ordens soberanas
Part One, Part Two, the official record stands
Impressão burocrática nas mãos do governo — understand
