    Duceppe, shut up..just SHUT THE FUCK UP. You also wanted this election, so fucking deal with your decision.

    Quite frankly, none of these toads can come close to competing for viewership!!

    Since the Canucks are going to win the cup this year, that's going to take a while.

    Well in the interest of getting more Canadians that speak french to watch the debate it might be a good idea.

    I can see if it was game 7 for the cup, maybe. But the first game of a series ?
    It comes across as I have better things to do, hockey comes first my country second.

    Any other leader would be ridiculed for making such a demand.

    I agree it's rediculous. But nowadays you basically have to offer free handjobs to get people to get involved with voting.
