Mr. Rodger Cuzner, Liberal MP for Cape Breton—Canso gave his annual "Twas the week before Christmas" poem at Parliament for 2017 on December 13th.
Mr. Speaker,
'Twas the week before Christmas and not much was new;
But I'll just take a moment to offer my view.
The new Tory leader picked a political spat;
But it's hard to take him serious with dimples like that;
But even those dimples cannot hide the shock;
Of what happened Monday evening in South Surrey—White Rock.
The Dippers believe their Saviour's been sent;
He's bumped up their polling to 16%.
To the new leader, here's a challenge to meet;
It would be sweet to compete with Jagmeet for a seat.
The Bloc were once strong, but find themselves in a quandary;
Break up the country? They couldn't separate their own laundry.
While opposition parties were sitting back and relaxing;
We did the hard work, which some say was quite taxing.
Housing and poverty, so much progress has been made;
Take, for example, international trade.
Cuz as much as we love trade with North Carolina;
Opportunities abound in places like China.
And if the current view of NAFTA is forced to be dealt;
I'll hang mistletoe off the back of my belt.
There's the far left, the alt right, and the smart in between;
I'd still bet on our boy in 2019!
