The upcoming televised debate for the Quebec elections faces a scheduling conflict with a possible pivotal Montreal Canadiens game, raising concerns from political leaders. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has urged organizers to consider rescheduling to avoid a clash that could diminish viewership and give off the impression that the political system is disconnected from the interests of the public. Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet supports this suggestion, recalling a similar rescheduling in 2011 to accommodate a Canadiens game. The Canadiens are aiming for playoff qualification and could secure their spot before even playing on Wednesday.
