Neil Young, Feist, Margaret Atwood enlisted for David Suzuki tour

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 24 Juli 2014 | 22.19

Award-winning scientist, environmentalist and CBC broadcaster David Suzuki is enlisting the talents of Canadians like musicians Neil Young, Feist, and Barenaked Ladies and author Margaret Atwood in a campaign and speaking tour to change Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

In what is being billed as possibly Suzuki's last national speaking tour, The Blue Dot Tour will bring a changing lineup of homegrown performers, artists and leaders to 20 Canadian communities starting this September.

The goal of the concert/speaking series —​ as expressed in this promotional video — is citizen engagement and the ultimate aim of having "the right to breathe fresh air, drink clean water and eat healthy food" added to the Charter.

Among those joining Suzuki on the tour are Blue Rodeo singer and guitarist Jim Cuddy, celebrated humanitarian Stephen Lewis and children's entertainer Raffi.

The complete roster is here:
