Sure, he’s not their president.

But that’s not stopping some Canadian musicians from penning Donald Trump-tinged tunes and putting out music videos ripe with anti-Trump imagery.

They join the many American musicians fighting Donald Trump’s presidency through song. It’s an obvious platform for a ticked-off American musician. But why do Canucks feel the need to chime in too?

Hollerado frontman Menno Versteeg likens it to a love song.
