s1 e24 BONUS | Majority, Schmajority: The Assembly of Power

A sharp, satirical stand-alone from The Canadianist, this parody song turns a late-night monologue into a full political takedown of Canada’s current moment.

Framed like a live studio performance, the piece walks through the illusion of a “majority government” built not at the ballot box, but through by-elections, floor crossings, and backroom math. What starts as crowd work and laughs quickly pivots into something deeper, exposing a system where control can be won without true consensus, and where the rules technically work… even when the outcome feels off.

With biting humour, familiar cultural references, and a tone that moves from playful to pointed, the song captures a country that feels less represented and more managed, where outrage shifts depending on who benefits, and where politics starts to look more like a game show than a democracy.

It’s funny. It’s uncomfortable. And underneath the jokes, it asks a serious question:

Are Canadians actually choosing their government anymore… or just watching it get assembled in real time?
