As It Happens Complaints Choir

[thesis33811]

I had no idea that Canadians were such whiners. Who cares whether Harper's suit fits him or not.

[RupertFilbert]

@thesis33811 Oh, so suddenly one choir represents the whole of Canada?

[ForCarolToEnjoy]

This is the BEST complaints chior of them all imo  EXCELLENT

[GuyWinch]

Psychology Today just posted an article about complaints choirs on their website in 'The Squeaky Wheel' blog.

[sirasy]

what a beautiful presentation!

[madiddyn55]

just heard about this on Fox News so I had to check it out! Was NOT a disappointment! Good job everyone! Made me laugh OUT LOUD!!

[treehouse58]

..did FOX news mention this particular version...?

[Phantomsbreath]

Air canada truely does suck.

[fiower2233445]

love it

[optimisticinal]

Thanks for the great big laugh.

[airdriver]

For some reason, I find this funny.

[pkzathruz]

might that reason be humor?

[airdriver]

Well......YEAH!

[heated789456]

At 1:25 the 2nd girl from the left...SHE IS HOT!!!

[heated789456]

err how long is the passport application in Canada? Here in my country Singapore it take about 3-7 days.

[knulfine]

six weeks in germany

[AntacidForTheMind]

Thank you Canada, we feel lower down here.

[Delaughenated]

HAHAHA Awesome!

[ridingisasport]

Very nice sound. clear too.

[LanakilaIesu]

The woman at 3:17 is a stitch. She reminds me of myself when I'm returning something hopelessly defective to a store or talking to a hapless telemarketer. *Puts on quiet, polite voice* "Well, I tell you what, I'm quite sure this isn't your fault, you're just here doing your job like I do every day, but you see, there's a little issue we need to fix here..." XD

[daynoir]

great arrangement of complaints - more 'polished' than some of the others, which makes it easier to listen to.. but not necessarily better.

excellent stuff!

[pixelperefected]

Boring, not funny. This said, Canada is a great country to live in. When you live in St Pettersburg your complaints choir has it easy

[AnUndeadMonkey]

"Air Canada sucks!"

[lordblazer]

the US bible belt needs one of these. of course it will be mostly us liberals that are behind enemy lines bitching about it.

[zombieslayer19]

As a Canadian myself and not just because I am one this is the best complaint choir out of all the ones I've seen. The Birmingham choir comes a pretty close second.

[OriginelliElli]

"I hate...static on my cat, vomit on the mat, the single men who can't commit..."

I have to agree ;D!

[34039thstreet]

O my gosh, eh, so things aren't so great in Canada either, eh? LOL, eh!?

[oklahomatornadoes]

Well, no country in the world is Utopia, every single one of them has to have some problems, including Canada.

[sparrowlady68]

Very good. lol lmao

[Freshette]

Ah finally some polite complaints!

Thanks for supplying some great CanCon!

[tunis87]

This is very good but not as good as the Helsinki Complaints Choir. :) Still very good job, this just isn't that funny..

[amw915]

good but not as good as the helsinki one. LOLZ Canadian complaints choir.

[AlbrechtMaier]

fantastic!!

[midwestmacrame]

Happy Festivus, ever'body!

[OriginelliElli]

Happy Festivus to you all;D!

[tonyleto]

They are airing their grievances. All they need is a Festivus Pole!

[NZCherub]

That's an excellent choir

[cardinalandchickadee]

I think it's great to air pet peeves with laughter and song! The CBC should do it again this winter!

[methodicalryan]

Who wrote this song? I with markwongsk, I think the lyrics could be funnier. Come on, we're Canadian, Home of Comedy!

[peatree1]

is it just me or do they pronounce stuff kind of british?

[lov3cir3]

I think it's because when you're singing in a choir, you have to pronounce the vowels a certain way, to make it sound better. A 'ah' sound is more distinct then just 'a'.

[qrs136]

Excellent!

(Referendums (referenda?) are irritating, because that means the legislature can't decide on something so they pass the responsibility to the voters. In the US they're sometimes called ballot measures, or voter initiatives, or propositions. The campaigns are expensive, with annoying tv ads, newspaper inserts and junk mail. Bleah. Get a backbone, legislators. That's why we elected you.)

[primroseburrows]

Maybe they just hate the *word* Referendum, like they said. :)

[about28]

Another great canadian project!

What's the matter with referendum, anyway?

[HunterMann]

Really great! Was this recored at Glenn Gould Studios/CBC Toronto?

[ichnal]

Ehh I don't like pro choirs very much since they pronounce WAY too much it's just ahh.

[ijpowers]

always the escalator people

[jmduval1983]

That is just too funny "eh"!!!

[markwongsk]

Totally awesome music =)

However the lyrics can be funnier :P

[classicrockhahaha]

she should learn how to say february

[HunterMann]

I wish they'd take the "r" out of February and put it back in Warshington where it belongs!

[crewco]

well.. that was my 3rd complaint choir in 5 min, i listened to that, great vocals.. ill say it once and again... the one thing in this

world that connects every living thing is music &

music makes this world go-round, there is a wide

variety of music and people & the simplest & most

complex noise can be made into music.

wayne of wayzata, wayzata choirs mn usa (this account shared)

[tenzingyatso]

That was so awesome and after watching many of the other complaint choirs I think this is the best one!

[jenconstantine]

air canada sucks! lol

[broadwaydestined]

DOWN WITH AIR CANADA!

it's too bad that ours isn't quite as funny as the helsinki choir though...

frickin air canada

[lutonduke]

This is awesome - well done and very well organised and professionally recorded! Its turning into some very awesome.

[shredlessmarmalade]

I really must start one of these myself, Lancaster is so boring!

[cumulo25]

Only in Canada.

[Yanipooh]

barbara is boderline drag queen

[cctaykenneth92]

WOW. I had a real good laugh, though I am not a Canadian. Heez... I guess the world just complains why everything seems politically correct when it isn't...

[D2Parton]

This is crap compared to the originals

[andyee]

"Air Canada sucks" ROFL TRUE!

[shaun145]

My Teacher is in this movie and she teaches at PArkdale. C.I

[immeris]

Why does the CBC have no racial diversity in their choir? Are we the only country in this complaints choir thing to have a 100% white choir? I complain!

[Sharoney]

You guys have given the Helsinki Complaints Choir a run for their money. Their performance was more droll, and had more complaints, but you guys are much more musical and the song was more hummable!

[lutonduke]

Well, if you speak Finnish, it might be hummable to you ;)

[AnUndeadMonkey]

We get As It Happens in CNY on WRVO...

This is pretty cool, although I had no idea that that's what Barbara Budd looks like...

[rhythmicgymnasticsgy]

Brilliant. Hilarious. I laughed and laughed.

[joewestjungman]

hmmmn . . . i hate standing in line at Tim's for 15 minutes just to roll up the rim to lose

[cocotheflyingnut]

haha "Air Canada Sucks!"

[Canadian102]

Cool video! I hope that they do this every month!

[junkfodder]

so that's what Barbara Bud (BUdd?) look like..

[Shar1e]

Fun!

[Infernocow]

Recording that was fun...but it wrecked the ol' voice.

Not bad considering we learned it in how many minutes?

[nunavutlight]

What was the choir? It was very good with immaculate enunciation.
