So in the vein of that Jeff Foxworthy's "You know you're a redneck when"

You know you're a Canadian when the federal government election debate is moved because the Montreal Canadians have a playoff game that night.

"he developments occurred as the election campaign entered its third week and the political leaders began looking toward the two critical TV debates.

The first debate, in English, occurs on Tuesday evening and the political leaders are scaling back their public campaigning Monday to prepare for the showdowns.

The timing of those debates briefly became a contentious issue Sunday, as Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe complained that the French debate scheduled for Thursday evening would coincide with a National Hockey League playoff game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins.

In a formal letter to the consortium of broadcasters organizing the debates, he asked that the French event be moved up to one day earlier than planned.

Within hours, after the Liberals and NDP also publicly expressed concern about the timing, the consortium agreed to reschedule the debate to Wednesday."

One thing you Americans do right with politics is the elections. You have them every 4 years and it's set. Our parliamentary system is different and depends on many things.

We are currently in our 4th election in 7 years...nice use of taxpayer $'s @ $300 million a pop, we've essentially spent an extra $600M that we wouldn't need under the US system.

Perhaps. But sometimes that 4 years is a very, very, VERY long time.

Yeah it's amazing how much damage can be done in a short amount of time. This isn't directed at any administration, just an observation.
