Polaris Choir (from Choirs for Change) performs at Mayworks Halifax
The Polaris Choir, part of the Choirs for Change (ChoirsForChange.ca), performed on May 9th 2019 on the convention stage of NSGEU's triennial provincial convention at the Halifax Convention Centre as part of the programming of the 10th Annual Mayworks Halifax Festival of Working People & the Arts (MayworksHalifax.ca).
Their musical program for the evening was ordered in an historical timeline, looking at music that speaks to social change movements that have effected Nova Scotia and our region.
They began with the famous labour rights song "Bread and Roses", then a choral arrangement of John Lennon's "Imagine" to represent movements for peace and ecology, followed by a contemporary choral piece called "The Sounding Sea" (which invokes imagery of the sea and its power).
On the theme of Queer/LGBTQ+ rights, they performed a song called "Pulse", which is a commentary on the tragic shooting in the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando which targeted queer folks.
A choral performance of MILCK's song "Quiet" spoke to the #MeToo movement, and Polaris followed this by looking at immigrant and refugee rights with two songs, "Voices of Pier 21" and "I Have No Time To Hate".
As an homage to the climate justice movement, Polaris performed "Earth Song", and then closed out their evening concert with a fabulous rendition of "The Internationale" (as is appropriate for such a labour setting).

It will cost us much, but what have we not paid already in our blood, in our toil, and in our tears? Look around, dear worker, and ask: why?

    I am from Romania (a former communst country of the Eastern Bloc), so i have an opinion about the video: Communism is the most demonic, and satanic ideology from all. Even more evil than nazism. We, romanians, can prove this, because, from all of the communist countries, in Romania, communism has shown itself the cruelest. More cruel than in Soviet Union. Communism in our country: -killed and imprisoned all the intelectuals, ant the entire elite of romania. The reasons of the aresst were made up. -anyone who opposed the regime was imprisoned, with his familly. -all the lands were STOLEN from the population. -the most evil: communist leaders fought aganist our Christian Ortodox Church, arresting priests and destroying churches. -if you were arested, the guard at the prison was an illiterate man, who was re-educating you. -the tortures in prison were completely satanic: you were forced to admit a lot of things you haven't done. The officer was telling you: ,,You'll admit everything, you will even tell us what did you see in you mother's womb!" -and all because you were considered ,,the enemy of the Socialist Republic of Romania" Romania had the strongest anti-communist resistance in Europe, that lasted ultil 60's-70's. American and English people don't know the communism, they have not messed with this. Don't be fooled by the communism ideology. A lot of romanians did that, and we payed a huge price. There are a lot to be said, but I don't have time. We will fight aganist the communist-marxist ideology untill the end!🇷🇴

I am not antisemitic, but that was the reality. May God forgive their crimes aganist our romanian people...

    Socialism is illegal in the U.S. since Woodrow Wilson signed it into law when he was President. Let alone you are pretty much enemies of the public for attempting to change the US into the idiocy that is communism. Capitalism is built from liberty, socialism is built from submission. On your knees you will exist. Under the thumb you will live. Under a master you will cower. Socialism is state run slavery.

    Funny how most commies and socialists claim to be pro-worker, but don't work jobs they just leach welfare and government student aid from regular people who actually work and pay for everything with their tax dollars.... (except professional agitators and propagandists) Socialists are just professional bums with useless degrees.

    100 million dead and counting. That is the only legacy of socialism. Oh, there's also auschwitz, dachau, and bergen belsen, soviet purges, gulags, cuban blacksites, the killing fields of the khmer rouge in cambodia, and the government extermination of Brazilian orphans in the favelas. It's also giving birth to whatever evil the WEF is cooking up. Fuck socialism. Fuck commies. Fuck pinkos.

So ... stick your internationale up where your sun doesn't shine. I refused to sing that crap when I was a kid in Cuba and I'll express my how I feel because in the free world I can, the Cubans can't, since 1959 thanks to El Che and Fidel. Since July 11, 2021 to present there have been over 1,200 Cubans some as young as 16 taken from the streets for chanting "Libertad" freedom. They are now political prisoners.
