Because of tobacco legislation, new venues, and a maximum of 17 races on the schedule, the Canadian Grand Prix was initially removed from the 2004 F1 schedule. However, Canadian officials were able to raise enough money to keep a Grand Prix race, with the FIA allowing expansion to an 18 race schedule. http://www.answers.com/topic/canadian-grand-prix Mar 24 08, 12:15 PM
