The French-language federal debate is moving from 8 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday, to limit the overlap with a Montreal Canadiens game that could decide whether the team makes the NHL playoffs. The Power Panel discusses whether a debate about Canadians' future should have been moved for hockey, and analyzes the strategy behind the NDP and Bloc calling for the move. Plus, the White House says that U.S. President Donald Trump still wants Canada to become the 51st state.
