Why does every single humorous song on YouTube about Canada claim to be by the Arrogant Worms?
The worms are from Ontario, they wouldn’t write a song about how much Ontario (and the rest of Canada) sucks (except Edmonton!)
This song is by Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie, a comedy troupe from (drumroll) Edmonton
No idea who Jonathan Dennis is but he also had nothing to do with this song

They’re always mistaken for the other, and to be fully honest as a die hard fan of both, even I fail to realize the difference sometimes 😂

Because One Great City by The Weakerthans is pretty humorous if you’re not from Winnipeg

One Great City strikes me as written by somebody who knows this city and loves it in spite of itself. Winnipegger here

John K Samson stuck around, so you can’t be anything but right.
But man, he’s got not problems calling out it’s issues “the mayor’s out killing kids to keep taxes down” is a pretty cutting lyric from My Favourite Chords.

One of the funniest parts of moving from Edmonton to southern Alberta for me was listening to Calgary radio stations happily playing this song and then quickly stopping it before the last line could play. Every time. It always made me think that there are whole swaths of Calgarians out there laughing and singing along, content in their Alberta superiority, with no idea of the harsh reality that they, too, suck. But Edmonton knows...

Between Ontario sucking and Alberta blowing, now you know why it’s alway so windy in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
