Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Friday drop, volume cent-soixante, numéro forty-four,
three commissions riding shotgun right through the door.
CRA counting coins, audits on the clock,
Trade Tribunal swinging where the cheap imports knock —
that's the Canadian International Trade Tribunal, keeping tariffs fair,
checking if some dumping prices landed unaware.
Then CRTC tunes the dial, licenses the airwaves,
radio, telecom, broadcast — they draw the lanes.
Three different rooms, one Gazette hallway,
each commission posting what they ruled today.

[Chorus]
Canada Gazette, c'est le journal du jour,
every ruling gets a page, every page gets its tour.
Mira bien, revisa el aviso en papel,
Environment, Industry — nada queda under seal.
Gazette, Gazette, lis entre les lignes,
plain words for the public, no fine-print designs.

[Verse 2]
Now the notices section, quiet but it counts,
Dept. of Environment stacking up amounts —
not a law just yet, more a heads-up call,
proposed standards, comment windows open to all.
Dept. of Industry sitting right beside the shelf,
technical notices speaking plain for themselves.
A notice ain't a statute, don't confuse the two,
it's government saying "here's what we plan to do,"
giving citizens a window, time to weigh in clear,
before the rule gets locked and calendared this year.

[Chorus]
Canada Gazette, c'est le journal du jour,
every ruling gets a page, every page gets its tour.
Mira bien, revisa el aviso en papel,
Environment, Industry — nada queda under seal.
Gazette, Gazette, lis entre les lignes,
plain words for the public, no fine-print designs.

[Bridge]
Part Two still breathing from the twenty-first,
volume cent-cinquante-neuf, numéro twenty-one — unrehearsed.
Nothing fresh to log there, so we let it rest,
save the ink for new ink, that's the quiet test.
Pas de nouvelles pages, on avance sans forcer,
solo el silencio cuenta cuando no hay que cambiar.

[Verse 3]
Flip the archive back, generations deep in print,
microfiche and PDF carrying the same hint —
history of a nation told in regulatory lines,
every ministry's signature, every quiet sign.
Librarians and lawyers both keep it on the shelf,
students citing footnotes, checking facts themselves.
It ain't flashy, no it's not the headline of the night,
but it's the paper trail that keeps the whole thing right —
from Ottawa's committees to a kitchen table scene,
the Gazette keeps spinning like a slow, unbothered machine.

[Outro]
Four-four, the number on the spine tonight,
CRA, Tribunal, CRTC — write it down right.
Environment, Industry, notices in the mix,
Gazette keeps ticking like a metronome of clicks.
Lis-le, léelo, read it on your own,
that's the paper trail of how the country's grown.

[Chorus]
Canada Gazette, c'est le journal du jour,
every ruling gets a page, every page gets its tour.
Mira bien, revisa el aviso en papel,
Environment, Industry — nada queda under seal.
Gazette, Gazette, lis entre les lignes,
plain words for the public, no fine-print designs.
