In a country where hockey is sacred, Canadian politics has skated out of the way.
Organisers of the French-language leaders’ debate have moved the event two hours earlier to avoid clashing with a crucial Montreal Canadiens game, ensuring voters won’t have to choose between civic duty and playoff dreams.
The shift came after federal party leaders raised concerns that the original timing — Wednesday evening — risked losing viewers to the NHL showdown between the Canadiens and the Carolina Hurricanes.
The game could determine Montreal’s place in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and with national attention divided, debate hosts Radio-Canada and the Leaders' Debates Commission opted to adapt. The move, they said, was out of respect for “Canadians’ passion for hockey.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney, a former Bank of England governor, will face off against Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in what is the first election campaign without Justin Trudeau in over a decade.
