Hockey or Hype?

The shadowy Broadcast Consortium finally has made a right decision: the French language debate between federal political party leaders will be moved, so that it does not conflict with the first playoff game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins.

There is movement, as well, to switch the English language debate so that it does not air at the same time as a re-run of "Gilligan's Island," in which there is considerably more viewer interest.

For Sale: Gazebo, like new.
