During the CBC television coverage of the federal election, live footage of Thiessen Day at Alliance campaign headquarters was shown. An unidentified CBC producer, who was unaware his words were being broadcast live, made a comment about Thiessen Day's breasts.<ref name=Salon>Boulware, Jack (December 4, 2000). "Breasts across British Columbia".
