Canada is known for their beautiful landscapes, maple syrup, and of course...HOCKEY! The country is in fact so dedicated to the sport, that it comes before all else...even politics. A French language federal election debate was going to be held on Thursday, but it would have conflicted with the opening game of the Montreal-Boston playoff series. Bloc Quebecois leader, Gilles Duceppe, initially raised concerns over the debate's scheduled time and asked for it to be bumped up to Wednesday night. "In the name of democracy," Duceppe stated, "I ask you to add your voice to mine and contact the consortium as soon as possible...Hockey stands alone and will triumph on Thursday."
In America, we would be forced to choose between a debate, or a Monday Night Football game for instance...At least Canada has their priorities in check!
