Readers often tell me they look forward each year to my annual offering of politically-oriented updates of classic Christmas carols. (Note: This is not true. No one ever mentions it. But I get a kick out of writing them and I needed a lead in).
And so, without further ado, feel free to sing-along with this election-year lament:
God rest ye Liberal gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Stephen Harper had to operate this way
Reduced to a minority your power has gone astray
Oh tidings of electoral reform
Electoral reform
Oh tidings of electoral reform
Or, perhaps your concerns this holiday season are more Conservative in nature? Hence:
Have a holly Tory Christmas
But if your name is Andrew Scheer,
Things went sour pretty fast
Didn’t make it through the year.
But now who will lead the party?
They often seem to get it wrong,
Peter McKay has had his day,
Paging Michael Chong?
To those of you still reading, thanks for the indulgence. Have a Merry Christmas and wonderful new year!
