Power & Politics | French-language debate moved for Montreal Canadiens game

From CBC News.

The French-language federal debate is moving from 8 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday, to limit the overlap with a Montreal Canadiens game that could decide whether the team makes the NHL playoffs. The Power Panel discusses whether a debate about Canadians’ future should have been moved for hockey, and analyzes the strategy behind the NDP and Bloc calling for the move. Plus, the White House says that U.S. President Donald Trump still wants Canada to become the 51st state.

David Cochrane follows the leaders as they make their case for votes, checks in with the country’s best political journalists and analysts, and guides Canadians through the quickly-evolving drama of politics in election time.
