Only in Canada

[Prairie]

Every couple of years in Canada the government collapses, as it did a few weeks ago. Sigh. Another $300M for an election with most likely the same results as the last two. Anyway, one of the features of a Canadian election campaign is the debates. Since we are officially a bilingual country, there are two debates: one in English, and one in French. The French one was scheduled for tonight, but due to a conflict, it was rescheduled for last night. The conflict? The Montreal Canadiens are playing the Boston Bruins tonight in Boston. Can't have a national political debate during a hockey game! :lol:

(Not a joke. This is the official reason for the rescheduling.)

I've always enjoyed hockey much more than politics any day!

Go Bruins Go !

...And just to show that they give the rest of the Commonwealth equally as hard a time, this is them 'taking the piss' out of we Aussies as well;
