  • MPs were way cooler back then

  • Damn the sound is out of sync and the quality isn't amazing. But I've seen the video before and it is awesome :D

  • hahahahhaha unreal!!!!!!!!!!!

  • if america attempted to do this, it wouldent be NEARLY as good! CANADA ALL THE WAY!!!!

  • Only Trooper can make politicos look cool!

  • <---------

     Big Trooper Fan!

  • Ahh the glory days of 22 minutes. Is that show still on now, I lost interest after they basically changed all the cast?

  • Yep, still runs Tuesdays at 8:30, right after the Mercer Report. You can tell who CBC likes more.

  • haha i saw this ep this morning!! XD

  • I moved from Canada in 1987. I used to listen to Trooper when was I going through a cross-dressing chapter in my life. I now work as a teacher in Houston Texas but still listen to Trooper and occasionally wear womens clothing in my classes.

    Signed Richard Gordon.

  • hahahhahahahhahahaahahahhahaha­haaha

  • ...

  • Mannnnnnnnnnnnn.

    Canadian politicans are so much cooler than anywheres else in the world. I'm sure of that.

    Proud Canadian!

  • Yea? Are you American? Wouldn't amaze me.

  • HAHAh

  • Trooper is not from Canada.they are from Kentucky and moved to Vancouver after being discovered by Gene Simmons.The song "raise a little hell" was about his split with Celine Dion..Rea got drunk and crashed his car into a group home for homeless kids.

  • Ra McGuire was born in 1950 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Look it up , they are Canadian get your facts right before you post ! The first Canadian band to successfully tour from coast to coast in their home country, and personally I have mixed the band, so you want fact there you got em !

  • You must have started mixing after the move from Kentucky! The song "Santa Maria" was wrote about their time living there and is detailed in their book."Great White Sports car"..They actually got in the biz first by doing jingles for Kentucky Fried chicken before the move to BC.They do speak of that in the book..try reading one ..jeez you sound guys think you know everything!

  • awesome

  • ima move to canada now!!!!!!!!!

  • When did our politicians become so serious? You don't see this stuff that much anymore.

  • @Akab6

    You should see Danny Williams (Premier of Newfoundland) on 22 Minutes. He's great.

  • Canada! Fuck yeah!

  • Fucking Canada is the BEST

  • GO CANADA we gonna woop ass in the 2010 olympics just cuz we rule

  • lol sure......no

  • LOLLLLL CANADA IS BEAST

  • This is why Canada is awesome. ^^

  • yea lets go Canada

  • This is why we are awesome: our leaders are people. Not super serious egomaniacs, just people. Some are even downright awesome themselves like John A. or Jean Chretien. Anyone who says "a proof is a proof" is OK in my book.

  • wow, Canada's even cooler than i thought, THEY PLAY RAISE A LITTLE HELL DURING THEIR POLITICAL MEETINGS! Holy crap! why dont Americans get their act together and pair aweome music with politics!

  • Thats What Where Going To Do Today Lol Best Part

  • this video always makes me laugh. Even though I am working for Elections Canada this time around and the paperwork is a killer!

  • I've lived in the states for years now... I only go to canada to visit rel's and fish. Bo no means the States is perfect, but it's the best country on this planet by far, and I've been to over 40 countries on four different continents. I love Canada, but it's a mess. I just hope you guys give Harper the mandate he needs, then maybe pull yourselves out of the socialist hole that we're slowly sinking into...

  • you guys are also going into the depression so right now the world looks like its doing really shitty in all areas. like america would say HAHA CANADA GOING NOWHERE but where america going nowhere cuz they temperarly have no president to run the country *cough cough* bush sucks*cough cough* but still then europe would look at both canada and america and say FUCK THEM and there goes our planet...

  • lol so right.

  • I miss Joe Clark!! Honesty in politics!

  • ??? why you say thant asshole?

  • Fuck off then.

  • I KNOW our free healthcare and clean air (well maybe ontario is a little ify on that last part) is SOOOOOOO constraining

  • Jean-chrétien at the end haha

  • Rick Mercer for Prime Minister !!!

  • Awesome!!

  • LOL sweet

  • Trooper is the best! We sing this song. Check us out on neils4. Rock on from the boys of Mad Dog 20/20 in Canada!

  • why dont you fuck ya yourself. Otherwise get out of this message board

  • It's not a message board, you fucking dipshit.

  • you're a fucking dipshit. If you're going to make personal attacks or profanity on other posters then I suggest you get out of the comments section!!!!!

  • Ah shut the fuck up you dumb cracker.

  • you shut the fuck up you dumb cracker. In fact, jump off a bridge if you need to.

  • No u

  • just please stop commenting on my posts ever again! All right, all right!

  • You're a fucking idiot.

    Make me.

  • And I don't think i'm gonna listen to someone with an apparent pantyhose fetish.

    Fucking freak.

  • I told you, stop making personal attacks. you're a fucking freak.

  • I'm not the one with a pantyhose fetish, cracka.

  • This video is awesome...However, all the idiots that need to come in and rant about a "new world order" and all that shit should go and write in a blog that only they and their nerdy, paranoid friends read. This is meant to be funny, not to make you paranoid, dipshits.

  • I love this video! But my favourite is one where they do the video for Valentine's Day, that was so funny, with the song by Elton John and that Kiki Dee

  • "We don't want to talk to him at all." Best line!

  • This hour has 22 minutes hasn't been what is used to be. It was best when Mercer, Thomey, Walsh and Jones was hosts. But this is a great clip from Mercer

  • Excellent Video. One of my favorite 22 Minutes videso ever. Just wondering if anyone could tell me who a few people are: The woman who pretends to punch Rick, The older woman who says"we're gonna raise a whole lotta hell", and the man dancing in the pinata. Thanks

  • the puncher is sheila copps, the guy in the 'sombrero' (not pinata) is joe clark, and i dont know who the other person is

  • The woman saying "We're going to raise a whole lot of hell" is former PC MP Elsie Wayne.

  • The woman who punches Rick is Sheila Copps, but I don't remember who those other two people are.

  • I guess as long as we put a cool tune in, all the political contastrophys of the past that collectivly put our country in the state it is in,Makes it Allll Good...Control the Money, Sedate the people...BUT THATS OK THEY PLAYED TROOPER...

  • I am Canaidian and gotta say the political system and all of it corrupt drones have no interest in making a better country ,they all use thrie positions to shore up their comfy retirements,Ask Paul Martin with his offshore fleets ,obtained via his corrupt father in law...former member of Parliment.Hell would be the state of our political system,I guess thats what we get for participating in the NEW WORLD ORDER...What a joke,WAKE UP!!!!!

  • "What a joke"

    well it's 22 mninutes. that's the intention.

  • America is overweight and has the worlds dumbest people there. Canada rocks!

  • man i luv it when rick mercer talks with americans they are sooooo stupid i luv CANADA

  • lol i like canadians but u ppl like being canadian because of ur politicians? lol

  • no we just find our politicians highly amusing. ever heard of chretien?

  • hahahahaha Herb Gray

  • Love it, thanks for posting!

  • My fav TH22 moment

  • i am so happy being canaidian canada rules

  • im so happy being a canadian!!

  • I wish American Politicians would do this

  • ohhhh yeeeaaaah. classic 22 minutes right here. :)

  • I love being Canadian!

  • If this were an American song by an American rock band, it would be "Raise a Lotta Hell". Since it's a Canadian song by a Canadian rock band, it has to be more polite, so it exhorts the listener to just raise a little bit of Hell. Not a lot, mind you, nothing that might get you arrested or anything. Must be polite. After all, we are Canadians!

  • my 300 video watched!

  • lol, I saw my neighbour Carol Skelton in there.

    I'm definately bugging her about this. lol.

  • lol

  • This is a classic allright. Our politicians do have a sence of humour , Another reason why I love being a Canadian .

  • man I love being Canadians

  • I love that Canada's politicians always seem to have a sense of humour. With this bit, and other sketches on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Royal Canadian Air Farce, and even cameos in Corner Gas. Its great.

  • stockwell day trying to rock out - scary shit man

  • COOL!

    Kudos to the politicians who gladly sang along:) Their actually not that bad compared to other politicians around the world.

  • I have been looking for this forever! thank you!

  • I guess im not the only person who hears that song every day of there life..

    It's still good!!!

  • This is a definite 22 Minutes CLASSIC! Just awesome! They should have a remake every election! Just to remind people to go vote!

  • One of 22 Minutes' best bits, to definitely one of the best songs!
