It is all about Canada-USA relations, and in particular, this uncomforting reality: “It’s time we understood just how far apart our two countries are and act accordingly” The whole text is here.

Dear Justin, I was very disheartened to hear our current PM today distort your thoughtful positions on restoring diplomacy with Iran and pulling out of the bombing campaign in the Iraq-Syria joint civil war. That said: nice ad! I have to say though, that I was previously crestfallen to see

Justin Calling to Albertan towns

Justin Calling to the oilsands
Forget about Pierre and his Energy plans
Justin Calling, now look here to us

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!
Justin calling to the zombies of Ignatieff
Quit bitchin’ bout, those (true) ads all negative
Justin calling, and I don’t want to flout
But while you were sulking, I glad-handed about
Justin calling, see we ain’t getting high
But there’s taxes to be raised from making it legalized

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 got swept up too
And you know what they said? Sacha’s onboard too!
Justin calling through the Mop & Pail bile
