00:00:00.000 Yeah, I got that veterans thing, remember?
00:00:02.100 Yeah, see ya, Jerry.
00:00:03.760 Yeah, hail Satan.
00:00:06.780 I can't find the words.
00:00:10.160 I swear I'm not a coward.
00:00:15.280 No one's laid a finger on you.
00:00:18.900 So how could it hurt?
00:00:22.560 I just can't resist what's just easier to do.
00:00:30.000 When I get coerced, I just lay down.
00:00:37.560 You gave us so much, we're ungrateful as fuck.
00:00:44.800 I'll watch my TV shows and just lay down.
00:00:51.320 Cause I won't even do the bare minimum for you.
00:00:57.960 No, I won't even do the bare minimum for you.
00:01:05.520 Now the going is tough.
00:01:09.860 Who's gonna fight for us?
00:01:14.480 Who will speak up?
00:01:16.300 Who will be brave?
00:01:18.640 There's no time to talk.
00:01:23.860 You're asking for too much.
00:01:26.280 I could never sacrifice this pay grade.
00:01:32.780 I just can't resist what's just easier to do.
00:01:40.340 Fill up my own plate and just lay down.
00:01:48.120 Cause I won't even do the bare minimum for you.
00:01:54.680 No, I won't even do the bare minimum for you.
00:02:02.240 I can't hear you through my Gucci suits.
00:02:08.940 My assistant's assistant's assistant.
00:02:12.560 I'll get her to write you.
00:02:14.740 My son looks up at me with his bright eyes.
00:02:32.060 Hey daddy, what does tomorrow have in store?
00:02:39.220 Finish drinking my cup and just lay down.
00:02:46.400 Cause I don't even do the bare minimum for you.
00:02:52.840 And I won't even do the bare minimum for you.
00:03:01.700 Am I afraid of the confrontation?
00:03:04.940 Am I afraid of the situation?
00:03:08.460 Am I afraid of speaking my mind?
00:03:11.620 And I guess the only thing I love is this safety of mine.
00:03:22.380 Cause I won't even do the bare minimum for you.
00:03:29.780 No, I won't even do the bare minimum for you.
00:03:41.620 Not really in the mood to play a character.
00:03:51.800 It's a very weird remembrance day in Canada.
00:03:55.800 There's a lot of cowardice in Canada right now.
00:04:00.880 But it's important to remember today is about bravery and sacrifice.
00:04:07.040 And to try to instill gratitude in ourselves and others with everything that we have today for now.
00:04:19.380 You know, growing up, I remember being told that Canadians on the world stage are known for being brave.
00:04:27.960 Known to speak up.
00:04:29.840 Known to question things.
00:04:31.200 Known to challenge tyranny.
00:04:34.200 Have we forgotten that?
00:04:35.260 Lest we forget.
00:04:39.540 And I know that that Canadian spirit is still here.
00:04:45.400 And it's time to connect with that.
00:04:49.520 In a small way.
00:04:51.020 Or a big way.
00:04:52.880 Because if you can stand up a little bit.
00:04:56.900 If you can show some fight, even a little bit, you'd be surprised what big difference it could make.
00:05:06.660 You'll probably feel good doing it as well.
00:05:10.000 Thank you for your service if you're a veteran watching.
00:05:13.180 And if you want to donate to a veteran's program here in Canada, I have a link in the description.
00:05:21.200 It's one that comes recommended from a Canadian veteran friend of mine.
00:05:26.560 Thanks again.
