This is a petition respectfully asking Corus Entertainment & Bell Media to please broadcast, in order, all of The Tragically Hip's albums on July 1, 2016 -- Canada Day.
Corus Entertainment includes important rock radio stations across Canada including:
- Rock 101 - Vancouver, BC
- Q107 - Calgary, AB
- 97.5 Big FM - Winnipeg, MB
- Q107 - Toronto, ON
Bell Media has mainstream rock radio audiences across Canada including:
- 100.3 The Bear - Edmonton
- 97.7 HTZ-FM - St. Catharines, ON
- 98.9 The Drive - Kingston, ON
- Big Dog 100.9 - Truro, Nova Scotia
- 105.3 The Fox - Fredericton, NB
As a show of solidarity and respect for Gordon Downie, his band mates and their loved ones, and most importantly as a true celebration of our shared Canadian culture, we want to hear every album in order from dusk past dawn.
The Tragically Hip has provided us all with a musical score and identity that cannot be described as anything other than authentically Canadian. Let's unapologetically celebrate Canada Day with The Tragically Hip all day long.
By signing this petition, you may not be changing the world forever, but you will get one kick-ass Canada Day to remember.

The stories coming in from people reflecting on what these songs mean for their own lives have been deeply moving to read. I am currently working on reaching out to music directors at the stations mentioned to see if we can find a receptive ear for this tribute. Even if they are initially hesitant to commit to such a full broadcast schedule, the number of people who want to hear this happen serves as a strong testament to the music.

Seeing this momentum gather makes it clear that many of you share this same vision for how we might honor our collective story. It is heartening to realize that so many people find meaning in the idea of dedicating our national holiday to this specific musical journey.

Listening to the Tragically Hip on Canada would make you remember what makes this country so different and great from the others. HIP HIP HIP HIP HIP HIP
This is just the right thing to do.. Who REALLY wants another "count down the top 500 rock songs of all time" .. no one really agrees with the top 5 anyway as we all have our own.. So c'mon music stations... take off the corporate suits and do something people who listen to your station really want and play the whole catalogue..
What better way to say Happy Birthday Canada than to celebrate with the music of some of Canadas favourite sons and greatest ambassadors.
Please neighbor, share the love. Prove to us Tragically stuck in America that Canadian music does not just consist of Nickleback as and the Beebs. Share your greatest treasure as an export. Please make it available to stream from the States. Thank you, kg
The Trsgically Hip are as Canadian as maple syrup and hockey. Gord has opened our minds and hearts to our wonderful country and its fantastic history. Mr Downie is a lyrical genius comparable to the likes of Cohen,Dylan and Lennon imo. #courageforGotd
Yes please!
