There are two facts about John Ondrasik, who works under the Five for Fighting moniker, that every conservative should know. One, he is a passionate conservative willing to risk his music career for the sake of talking and singing about what is right, as evidenced by his unwavering support for Israel in its fight against terror. Two, he is a passionate sports fan, utterly devoted to his Los Angeles-based teams, especially the NHL’s Kings. Ondrasik has found a stinging, witty way to merge the two with his latest song, an “ode” to Canadian Prime Minister and überwuss Justin Trudeau.

The song, laced with Ondrasik’s gift for catchy, inventive melody, lampoons Trudeau with bite and humor in a takedown designed to hit any real Canadian man where it hurts. Namely, the hockey rink. Or, in this case, the inability to perform on same. The lyrics are below, but to get the song’s full effect, give it a listen.
Justin Trudeau
Wants you to know
That he never played hockey
Justin Trudeau
Has got to go
It’s damn clear he never played hockey
Totalitaian parlimentarians
They have no mind to skate
Their only love their hate
They’ll freeze your bank account
The Mounties they will mount
To trample on your rights
Like Fidel
Justin Trudeau
Is rather slow
It’s too bad he never played hockey
(Like the Great One)
This potato
Has got to go
Get someone who played hockey
He likes to arrest Jews
While wearing Taylor shoes
The black-faced Bolshevik
Would never last one shift
He wouldn’t shake your hand
After a seventh game
He has no honor code
Like Tie Domi
And Bob Probert
O Canada
He’s not part of a team
He’s wimpy and he’s mean
He’s the emergency
The True North strong and free
He never ate a puck
He doesn’t give a truck
A Gordie Howe hat trick
The thought would make him sick
If he’d just scored one goal
His heart would have a soul
And understand assists
Are more than shots that miss
And know humility
Freedom — Liberty
Is more than just a game
God save us
Justin Trudeau
Wants you to know
He never played hockey
(Like the Great One)
Justin Trudeau
Has got to go
Get someone who played hockey
Crisis of Confidence in Canada - Is Resignation on the Table for Trudeau?
Besides eviscerating the already emasculated Trudeau, the song is a prime example of using expressions to which the non-political mind can relate to get a point across. “The Great One” refers to Wayne Gretzky, universally lauded as the greatest hockey player of all time. A “Gordie Howe hat trick,” named after all-time great and man among men Gordie Howe, is the nickname given to a player having a goal, an assist, and a fight during a single game. Tie Domi and Bob Probert were both fierce warriors during their playing days, always willing to drop the gloves with an opponent yet unfailing in the honorable sportsman gesture unique to hockey where, after a playoff series, each player shakes the hand of each of the other team’s players no matter how rough and rugged the action was during the series. Kudos to John Ondrasik for intelligent use of sports references to assist with his skewering of Justin Trudeau.
