      I admit it, I'm a Justin McElroy fan.

      The CBC legislature reporter is a quirky storehouse of information with an infinite capacity to surprise the public with what he's discovered.

      But this weekend, he's outdone himself by listing the names of B.C.'s municipalities in song.

      Not only did he pull off this monumental achievement with apparent ease, he managed to rope in Pete Scobie to record it on film.

      The tweets below include the performance, as well as the lyrics and the appropriate credits.

      If the producers of Jeopardy! are looking for a younger replacement for the sometimes ailing Alex Trebek, they might want to consider McElroy.

      Then again, McElroy might prefer to simply become a contestant and try and eclipse the magnificent streak of Ken Jennings, who won 74 games in a row before finally being defeated by Nancy Zerg.
