Hockey 1 - Politics 0
The French language Federal Leaders' debate has been rescheduled to avoid conflict with the Montreal Canadiens' playoff hockey game with the Boston Bruins. The reports from Montreal are that this scheduling change was a "no brainer" given the priority of hockey in Quebec particularly the Canadiens. The Canadiens' coaches joked that the leaders wanted to watch the hockey game anyhow. I would tend to agree since if there was a hockey game on at the same time as the political debate I would be watching the hockey game. However Elizabeth May says she is outraged that the French language debate could be rescheduled when she was told the English language debate could not accommodate a last-minute change to include her. I certainly understand why she would be upset since "where there's a will there's a way."

Elizabeth May and the Greens help ensure NDP candidates do not get elected and that Harper stands a better chance of another government. However she is the leader of a legitimate party and should have been allowed in the debate.
Nice work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the blue Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing.
