CALGARY, Alberta – A recently released song titles “Just Transition” has been making its way up charts in North America, and recently reached 72 on the Top 100 parody songs. Written by a local Calgarian, and performed by anyone that wants to make a home video, it is an oddity of a release with no official musical track, but nonetheless it’s been very successful.
2P News has acquired permission to post the lyrics of the parody, written to reflect the tune of Pink’s smash hit “Just Like Fire,” from the perspective of El Presidente himself, Justin Trudeau.
