IANACanadian, but as I understand it, Harper and his Government are
obsessive about controlling the message, in a way that's a notch or two
ahead of anything Rove ever did, and he would pretty much sell his mother
to the circus if he thought it would help the Conservatives get (stay in)
power. I suspect that somebody had some idea that it was beneficial to them
if fewer people saw the debates live or if, perhaps, that move meant that
there ended up being no debates at all.
