In 2000, Thiessen Day was briefly the source of a minor scandal in Canada. During the Canadian Broadcasting Company television coverage of the federal election, live footage of Thiessen Day at Alliance campaign headquarters was shown. An unidentified Canadian Broadcasting Company producer, who was unaware his words were being broadcast live, made the following comments on Thiessen Day:
Since the producer"s microphone was on, his comments were unwittingly broadcast to the entire province of British Columbia, until a quick-thinking technician cut the feed.
Because the Canadian television networks were using a shared video and audio feed, his comments were broadcast on CTV and Global stations as well.
The producer was forced to apologize.
