Tattered Sleeve: Justin Calling
Justin Calling to Albertan towns
Now get prepared for the writ to come down
Justin Calling to the oilsands
Forget about Pierre and his Energy plans
Justin Calling, now look here to us
The new Trudeaumania is on the up’n’up
Mulcair isn’t catching
Harper’s on the way out
The Cons are corrupted
The Greens got no clout
A BQ error, leaves the left in the clear
And Justin is calling and I’ll…
Go for the winner!
Justin calling, yes, I was there, too
An’ you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
Justin calling to the gun registry arm
Forget it brother, that’s a horse that’s long gone!

And Justin is calling and I’ll…
Go for the winner!
Justin calling, yes, I got swept up too

Conservatives have been long advocates of an equal distribution of seats based on one formula…
Polygonic: If this isn’t bittersweet…
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times – welcome to Dickensian Canada. The best of times, in some ways – a social democratic party’s never had a bigger share of the Parliamentary pie.
