Little Potato

Longtime SDA regular commenter, Denise, sent in this song, performed by her husband, James Frazer:

In celebration of the long overdue resignation of arguably Canada’s worst prime minister, here’s a replay of Little Potato, that toe-tapping sing-along chronicling his tyrannical tendencies written in the dark days when the Emergencies Act was used to deny Canadian citizens the right to peaceful protest.

Why Little Potato? As the not-astute Chrystia Freeland gushed in 2016, “We are quite proud. The prime minister has been given a fond nickname in China, he is called tudoe, which I believe means potato.” Pierre Poilievre was subsequently ruled out of order by the House Speaker for observing, “When leaders in China dismissed this prime minister as quote ‘little potato’, he thought they meant it as a compliment.” The term was barred in our Parliament.

About the Peter Kent reference in the song: before he was prime minister, Little Potato called Conservative MP Peter Kent a “piece of sh*t” in the House of Commons. It’s been a long 10 years.

  1. He hasn’t resigned. When the frack will people wake up? He’s still PM, he’s still party leader. Nothing has changed. The SOB will drag it out until October, which was his original drop dead date. He retains the power to keep sinking the country until then. He has not resigned. Stop spreading this utter nonesense.

    1. To your point and worth the time IMO:

    2. The real story is the proroguing of Parliament.
      His drama was just a distraction.
      Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom is taking him to court for illegally proroguing.

    3. You are correct. I should have said “announced he would resign when – and if – a new Liberal leader is selected.” Call it wishful thinking or perhaps being caught up in the relief that just maybe this nightmare imposed on Canadians will come to an end (or at least turn a corner). The initial reports focused on the resignation, but the devil is in the details. It’s not over.

  2. According to my Chinese contacts, several of whom hate him, his Chinese name is based solely on the approximate sounds and their Mandarin cognates. There’s no value–good or bad–assigned to it, as with rhe sinification of most western names. It’s a coincidence that it sounds like “potato”. The use of “xiao”–little–is just to differentiate from his nominal dad.

  3. Only in Freeland’s fairies and unicorn world would it not be considered derogatory. Remember now…she used to sign off with happy face emojis to her European counterparts.
    Would that the Chinese called Trudeau “weasel dick”. Spin that Freeland.

  4. That was a song so good that I listened to it twice in a row!
    Especially liked the guitars.
