In Canada, it was decided to postpone the pre-election political debates, as they coincided in time with the match of the Montreal hockey club.

"Because of this scheduling conflict, the political system seems disconnected from reality, which could have a serious impact on who will participate in the only French debate of the campaign," said Jagmeet Singh, head of the New Democratic Party (NDP).

To qualify for the National Hockey League (NHL) playoffs, Montreal must win the match against Carolina.

On April 12, it became known that the Canadian government would begin negotiations with the administration of US President Donald Trump on their tariff policy in early May.
