Nov 29, 2007 - Who wrote this song? I with markwongsk, I think the lyrics could be funnier. Come on, we're Canadian, Home of Comedy!

Dec 5, 2007 - I think it's great to air pet peeves with laughter and song! The CBC should do it again this winter!

Mar 15, 2008 - 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.

May 7, 2008 - 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

daynoir Says:

Jun 22, 2008 - great arrangement of complaints - more 'polished' than some of the others, which makes it easier to listen to.. but not necessarily better. excellent stuff!

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
