The Conservatives have turned to Bryan Adams鈥� longtime hitmaker Jim Vallance to pen their campaign song.
The guitar-driven tune is packed with Vallance鈥檚 trademarked pop-rock zeal, as a chorus of voices belt lyrics that include: 鈥淎 brand new day, a better way, it鈥檚 time for you to get ahead.鈥� A bilingual version offers the second and last verses in French.
Vallance鈥檚 chart-toppers include Adams鈥� hits 鈥淐uts Like a Knife,鈥� 鈥淩un to You,鈥� 鈥淪ummer of 鈥�69鈥� and 鈥淪omebody.鈥� He鈥檚 also provided songs for Michael Buble, Aerosmith, Rod Stewart and KISS.
The federal election campaign formally launches today, with the vote set for Oct. 21.
