about

In 2022 I received an email from the Ontario Medical Association saying that the Ministry of Health is planning to end the use of faxes in Ontario's healthcare system in favour of electronic submissions. The subject line was titled "Axe The Fax."
I, as a physician, have depended on receiving consultations, x-ray reports, lab results via my fax and it has always been a very secure way of communicating whereas electronic communications are unreliable and susceptible to security breaches.
In my disgust I wrote this song as a protest.

lyrics

Don't Axe My Fax
Mel Borins/ Mitch Girio

Don’t Friend me
Don’t Tweet me
Don't follow me on Instagram

Don't Zoom me,
No Whatsapp
I've had enough of Tik-Tok

No Facebook
No Wechat
I'm just fed up with all that stuff

I hate touchscreens
I hate cell phones
5G's gonna be the end of me

I love paper
Love talking on the telephone
Send me a postcard
Don't Axe My Fax
I love paper
Love talking on the telephone
Mail me a letter
Don't Axe My Fax

Ditch the routers
Destroy the modems
Burn all the cell phones
And the iPads, too

I hate Wi-fi
I hate Social media
I’d rather read an encyclopaedia
Not an entry from Wikipedia
But a book that I’d rather read to ya

I love paper
Love talking on the telephone
Send me a postcard
Don't Axe My Fax
I love paper
Love talking on the telephone
Mail me a letter
Don't Axe My Fax
