This song is seriously taking on a life of its own. Here is a “We Are the World” type remix that was recorded during the Winter Olympics last month in Vancouver. The song features 50 Canadian artists among them K’naan, Drake, Metric’s Emily Haines, Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber, Nelly Furtado, and Broken Social Scene just to name a few. The song was recorded by legendary rock producer Bob Ezrin. Click here to donate, proceeds go to Free the Children, War Child Canada and World Vision Canada. Enjoy!
