Joe Connors: The Prime Minister Song

My good friend Joe Connors of 'the Connors Brothers' band plays one of my favourite songs of his at Norm's Coffee House.

Since most of the television that is broadcast in our country comes from the United States, it can be a bit tricky at times to hear anything about our own Canadian Heritage. That's something that needs to be remedied.
While we could pay attention in school, or read some books or something, I'm fond of the great Canadian way of sharing our history: through amusing songs with some acoustic guitar.

It's a great Canadian history lesson, and a good laugh.

From Sir John A. Macdonald, who could drink Winston Churchill under the table, to Wilfrid Laurier, who tried to compromise with the 'French' in Quebec, and Diefenbaker's incredibly stupid cancellation of the Avero Arrow interceptor aircraft, this song covers many of the highlights (and lowlights) of Canadian history.

Enjoy

Look stop hating on the Canadians ok! THey are regular people just like you and me and go about their daily business like regular people. They are not a society of cheesemakers or inferior to the crown in any way. Both AMerica and Canada have their faults and positives alright?!

@sirbob211

There is a reason for the Canada hate: Jealousy.

;)

And thanks for watching! Joe will get a kick out of knowing that people are still listening to his track.

I've been to Canada and it's an atrocious place. The Canadian accent is abominable.

If honorable Congressman Dr. Ron Paul is honored with being elected as the Chief of State, we'll end the British oppression of you. And make you an American territory. Heck, if we like you enough may be you'll get the privilege of becoming a state! But until then keep worshiping the wrinkly old bitch (aka Queen) and keep on exporting to us cheese and bacon.

[theheadlessrabbit]

ha!

you're funny.

[haaleeey]

...I like cheese and bacon though

And a good cup of Timmy Hoes.

So why don't you shut your face.

KAY THANKS.

P.s Your accent is far more annoying. Like seriously learn to friggin annunciate.

Also we kick American ass because we speak French.

Yeah that's right -

Alors va creer bebes avec ton cousin comme la reste de ta famille, stupide Americain. Oh yeah. I went there. Look that up why don't you.

[theheadlessrabbit]

Ha! oh, thats good.

I love how 'American cheese' is nothing more than processed, tasteless plastic-like crap. give me a good strong cheddar any day.  Balderson 4 year, or presidents choice permium old cheddar both pack a flavourful punch no American could handle.

and bacon, well....bacon is the candy of meats. delicious.

Ha. I'm hardly surprised your answer is to invade us. Hey, it worked so well in the middle east, why not Canada?

Or not..

You've obviously never even been here if you think we all live in an igloo. It's pretty clear your education system teaches you nothing about Canada.

P.S. Good song theheadlessrabbit. Mine loaded just fine.

[Beachapeeater]

Your comment lost any meaning after the spelling mistakes. But I guess the Canadians are just a bit more learned than you.

Maybe your dear Ron Paul can do something about your education...

[LumberjackQueen]

Guess who passed her History exam?! :P

[Darthskippygp]

@sirbob211 People that look at this will think that Canadians have bad spelling. Thanks....

@haaleeey

I am also Canadian.. but how does it make us any better because we speak French? That's an awful reason.

[MajBlood]

Great song, but I think you can't make a PM song without listing the LEGENDARY FIVE which were John A Macdonald, Wilfrid Laurier, Mackenzie King, Lester B Pearson, and Pierre Trudeau. You only got 2 out of 5. Thought Diefenbaker barely misses the five, along with Robert Borden.

[ShayanTabbakh22]

love ur track budd~!

[rustyblade12]

Hey you can try to kick our ass but WWII we came over to help your asses out. Think about it in France we were the only country that could take Vimmy Ridge in one go. You guys coulden't take Vimmy Ridge in 100 years.
