Exasperated Canadian Sings

Little Potato - a song about the Prime Minister.

Continuing the theme of why Canadians supported the Freedom Convoy with such enthusiasm, reader Denise reports that, when the Emergencies Act was invoked against the truckers in February, her husband James retreated to his basement music studio for a few days.

Converting distress at our crazy world into something constructive is what poets do. He later emerged with an entertaining song about Canada’s Prime Minister, titled Little Potato. You can listen to it here:

Denise and James - who reside in London, Ontario - weren’t able to attend the Ottawa protest in person. But like millions of other Canadians, they were there in spirit. Below are the lyrics:

Little Potato - by James Frazer

He’s a sanctimonious, hypocritical, inane totalitarian; let’s try and
find an acronym, an acronym for that
Justin’s first official overseas trip
Went to admire China’s basic dictatorship
Of course, he came home with nothing to show
Except for the nickname they gave him: Little Potato
Big Potato was their nickname for his father Pierre
Love for Communist China being something they share
You can tell these two spuds apart in this case
Pierre wore the black cape, his son the blackface

It’s about the “average Canadian family” says the son
And one day he’s thinking, he might even meet one
He’s known for Bollywood costumes and colorful socks
And for being an international laughing stock
He’s short on achievements; long on schemes
“Openness and transparency”; just a slogan it seems
His ethical lapses keep him in trouble
He has one moral standard; it’s the double

He’s sanctimonious, hypocritical, inane, totalitarian; can we find an
acronym, an acronym for that?
(Maybe Peter Kent could help us!)

With your taxes, he’s paid off his media pets
He next wants to censor the internet
If you dare disagree with this narcissist
He’ll first call you a racist, then a misogynist
Every one of your rights he aims to usurp
It’s time we dumped this Right Honourable twerp
He’s obsessed about hate; he’ll define what that is
But Canadians just wish he’d get a grip on his

He’s sanctimonious, hypocritical, inane, totalitarian; there must be an
acronym, an acronym for that
He’s sanctimonious, hypocritical, imbecilic, totalitarian; that’s our
Little Potato, friends (En francais: Petite Patate)

He knows even less economics than his father did, what would you expect
from a trust-fund kid
He forced Alberta oil to sit on the shelf and says his deficit will just
take care of itself (Yikes)

He has comic intellectual ineptitude
Ask any question, you’ll hear the same ten platitudes
He fronts a dangerous union now made complete
Between the dilettante Woke and Laurentian Elite
He’s a low-voltage rich boy on a power trip
With an unhealthy envy of dictatorships
He’s got a long list of “unacceptable views”
Now whatever happened to our right to choose?

He’s a sanctimonious, hypocritical, inane, totalitarian; or just use the
acronym, the acronym for that
He’s a sanctimonious, hypocritical, insufferable, totalitarian, that’s
our Little Potato friends (En francais: Petite Patate)
