The one Christmas song that Justin Trudeau can't stand



There’s one song that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he simply can’t stand at the Christmas season.

“When I was in grade 5 at Rockcliffe Park Public school, down the street, I was forced to dress up as a reindeer to ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ for our year-end pageant,” Trudeau told the Canadian Press.

partly can't blame him though, it's the oil revenue that keeps Canada going.

has to work for everyone. Not just the rich. And they are not so easily duped as the GOP base because they know their own limitations and what their own best interests are.

If I ever see that drummer boy I'd be tempted to seize his damn drum and smash it over his head to shut him up!

I always thought that song was weird when I was a kid. Analyzing the lyrics now, it is a date rape song. Cannot believe people listened to it. And glad to see people realize it and either stop singing it or change the lyrics to make it a bit less rapey.
